To some extent, that's the nature of the beast. My thinking is the bumps are lumps of slightly harder soap that the wire "floats" around rather than cuts through. But that's just a guess on my part.
I too get those little bumps if I cut too soon. However, I don't give them a second thought and have never had anyone blink an eye at them. I'm not that anal.. ha ha. I do bevel the edges though.
I used to bevel my edges. But changed the design of my soap, rarely soap in a slab mold, and at one point I think I had almost 20lbs of shreds. LOL (one can only make so many confetti soaps! LOL)
I decided I needed to stop. And with the design of my soaps now, they actually look better unbeveled.
My wire cutter is leaving a weird texture, almost like little bumps, on my soap. I have seen this problem talked about before but I have not found a solution for it. Have any of you guys?
Thanks
One of my beta testers has actually said she prefers non-beveled soap, because she said this makes her feel more like she's buying handmade soap.
I have a friend (male) who has to have his soap beveled. He says it cuts him unless it's beveled!
LOL My unbeveled edges are not sharp enough that anyone would cut themselves, but that is interesting.
I have a similar problem. It looks like wire drag marks on the face of the soap. It creates an arched pattern that mimics the path of the wires.
I like the idea of using fishing line instead of wire, but instead of fishing line, I think I will try nylon guitar strings. They have the metal piece at one end and can be used with the guitar tuner pegs my cutters equipped with.
