@zany in co Thanks!!! @sunrisearts Thanks for the tips and links, I appreciate it! @earlene Thanks for the info, I can see you spent quite a bit of time for my (and hopefully other’s) benefit. I appreciate it! The electric topping dispenser is pretty cool idea. I’ll have to investigate it...

@earlene Those easter egg molds are awesome looking. Actually better than the ones I've made myself. So far I only know how to make flat molds. Haven't quite learned how to make curve shapes in 3D software. $4 is an amazing deal, great find! @zany Do you or anyone else here know much about...

@arimara For sure I will consider making molds for sale. Though I like to finish through with seeing if I can make selling soap a success first. “IF” I can figure it out, the number of customers for soap is many times more numerous than those looking for molds, even if each mold commands a high...

@susie and @weaversport I hear you both, you give valid critiques of me. Yes I agree I failed to ‘read the room’ properly. For sure if I could do it over again, I’d find a different way to ask my question. @arimara I hear you, thanks! @cherrycoke216 Thanks for the tips about painting it...

Toxikon: Thanks for suggesting the idea of selling soap molds. For sure that is an idea I could explore :) Everyone: Obviously I’ve offended quite a few of you. I not sure why. But I hear you. It wasn’t my intent to come on this forum and offend people. Typically what people do on forum is to...

To everyone: I’m using melt and pour soap. I’m not doing CP soap. I don’t need a year to know how to melt the soap in the microwave and re-pour it. I’ve tried making CP soap, and yes I can tell it can take a while to figure things out, that is why I don’t go that route. Also I’ve made the...

@shunt2011 Thanks for the advice. I’ve watched a lot of youtube videos already, but perhaps I haven’t seen the right ones. The ones that I have watched where there are 2 or more colors look very tedious to make. Here’s the thing about trying to make money from soap sales that is worth while...

I was looking at this 2 color soap on etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/262191664/oriental-pagoda-temple-with-plum-tree I understand they probably used melt and pour soap with a mold. I know how to make molds from a 3d printer. Right now I'm wondering what are some options on technique on how...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all your input. What if I rephrased my question to be - which melt and pour base soap has the least amount of ingredients that would be of concern to people who are very picky about chemicals. Someone I know in real life also thought the link given above for...

Hmm...I've been trying to sell soaps to stores and quite a few stores have asked me I'm my soaps are all natural. I've said no. I've been using melt and pour because I make soap out of molds. So it reads as if I can get pretty close to all natural with the brambleberry one but I can't call it...

Thanks! Just wondering what is in this soap that stops it from being able to be called 'all natural', just wondering!

Might anyone know where online I can buy melt and pour soap that is all natural? Does this type of product exist? Thanks!

Thanks everyone, the knife worked great! I appreciate the tip!

I ordered this HUGE box of melt and pour soap from online. I'm opening it for the first time today. So far I'm finding it hard work to dig bits of it out with either a normal size metal spoon, or with a large string metal spoon. What are some other ways to get chunks out for melting that doesn't...

All of you guys with hard bath bombs that won't crack if dropped on to concrete floor, what is in your bath bomb, how do you make it? I realize one of you already said you use clay and cream of tartar.

I poured some microwaved melted melt and pour soap into a rectangular mold. I waited for an hour before unmolding. It looked fine and just as I expected it to. Then progressively sometime over the next week I start to see the rectangular shape soap warp and bend. It distorts enough for me to...

I was wanting to make multi color bath bomb popsicle where there is a straight line diving each color from each other. Something like this. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/c9/75/a6/c975a6bbabbef57ea81aaee7a871c7f4.jpg Ideally I would like to make them in pieces and then glue...

So after I posted my initial post, I took my own hand made bath bomb outside and dropped it from shoulder height on to concrete and it crack open. So now I know for sure that the ones I make are not as strong. Though perhaps my technique isn't so good yet. Just wondering if anyone has hand...

I was at a store named 'Basin White' in Las Vegas this weekend, I was in town visiting, and so this was my first time visiting this bath bomb and soap store. I bought a bunch of bath bombs for market research, as I loved the colors they used. While I was in the store, the sales lady showed...

I don't use Anhydrous magnesium sulfate, though I could perhaps make my own by drying out epsom salt. Though that just makes the process of making bath bombs more time consuming.
