    Technique Ideas for Mold

    Thank you @Tammyfarms ! As luck would have it, I put that particular mold away in my closet and forgot about it. Will watch the video and try it out!

    Sign up list: 1. Servant4Christ 2. The_Phoenix - A spoonful of soap makes the grime go down the drain. 3. AliOop - This is my go-to rescue technique for those suddenly-thick batters. Ya never know how it will look but it's usually pretty! 4. dmcgee5034 - spoon swirl-tastic! Never done this one...

    Ciaglia salt bars?

    Thank you! I like your idea of making them in single cavity molds. The salt caused sooooo many drag lines when they were cut. Next time, I’m going to try your method!

    Ciaglia salt bars?

    I ended up making a ciaglia salt bar this weekend. I needed some soap therapy. It came out beautifully. It’s scented with sea salt and cucumber and smells divine. These haven’t been trimmed yet, but this was my first time making both ciaglia and sea salt bars and I’m very pleased with the results.

    Shoot. I am so sorry everyone, but it looks like I’m going to have to bow out. Life just keeps on happening. I’m sorry 😣

    HP Pine Tar added at the end?

    Like Alioop said, when you open the can of pine tar it smells like a road tar or burning rubber. It’s pretty awful. BUT as it cooks it mellows out and added a smoky smell that mixed beautiful with the essential oils I used.

    HP Pine Tar added at the end?

    Honestly, I just fussed over it and over-thought it way too much. I’m doing it again soon because I love the smell and because although it looks rustic it doesn’t have that chunky look of some HP soaps. I have a feeling this is way easier now that I know what to expect and will become a family...

    HP Pine Tar added at the end?

    Well, we had a family emergency, so it was in the mold when I left for over a week. I couldn’t really say when the best time to unmold it was, but it was almost to the point where I couldn’t cut it with my cutter by the time I got to it. Next time I’ll unmold much sooner.

    So after all that drama, the soap hardened up nicely. The smell has definitely faded but still smells wonderful. I love them!

    SMF February 2023 Challenge - Soap Curls

    @Primrose - we have just had terrible news and will be leaving out of town to take care of a family emergency. I do have my challenge soap completed. Would it be ok to post it now, or maybe send to you in a message. I don’t think I’ll be back for a week or two.
