Here is my Ikea Ivar drying rack, I'm about to extend it to make shelves every third hole rather than every other one as here. I have this on my landing, with a very small footprint that can hold over 1600 individual soaps.

I made 400+ (just a little bit more lol) soaps today now sleeping in their hot box

This wasn't all that hard to put together. It's the Ikea Ivar range. In the uprights it has pre drilled holes that you put pins in and then place the shelf on.

No other soapers are going to be there at this event. I've had moulds made to depict the empty cross of the risen Christ, the ichthus symbol and praying hands. I'm only planning on making plain soaps for the event to keep things simple, but will be offering a discount for visitors to my website...

Any hints or tips would be gratefully appreciated.

I'm getting them ready for a christian music festival aaarrrrgggghhhhh I'm so excited. Footfall last year was 30000 and this year is expected to be in the region of 40000 however this year there are going to be two weekends instead of just the one. Oh the sweet smell of Shea Butter as I walk...

Hi fellow soapers, I've not been here for some time so sorry about that. Here is the shelving being put to very good use.

They look lovely :).

That one is almost it, mine has wood effect vinyl covering (mine tends to have cats rather than booze in it though lol). I cannot control the temp and will have to find out what it gets up to. The shelves inside also heat up. Pics will indeed follow.

I've been wondering whether a hostess trolly could be used to gel or even cpop soap in? Has anyone tried this? I'd love to hear of your experience if you have.

That pile behind the door is not even half of what I have got (big cheesy grin here). When I get my delayed tax credits I will be going off to Ikea to get some uprights and crossbraces.

Still can't get the uprights but hopefully not long now I have improvised for the moment though :twisted:

I use the distilled water that comes from my dehumidifier :)

I've been looking at different moulds and I found this and thought of you :razz: http://www.dhgate.com/120-pcs-silicone-pumpkin-flower-shape-cake/p-ff80808132ad0a6c0132d2cae17a3140.html#s4-38-1 You could always sell them on afterwards.

If you do use a dehumidifier then you can use the water for soap making as it is distilled.
