This is exactly how we do it.

At all our shows we wrap each bar individually in brown tissue paper before it goes into the bag. We use a gingham style bag, green and white check, red and white check, with our label on the front. Label has Thank You on it along with our logo, website and our location. We pay about $.10 for...

Keep in mind there is a big difference between drying and curing. If you pour concrete on Monday you can most likely walk on it by Wednesday, it's dry. If you pour concrete in June it will be mostly cured by July. The longer it sits the harder it becomes. Same principal applies to soap.

I like NG Banana Kiwi. Slightly muted on the nana, not overpowering at all. Might not work if you're looking for a strong type.

Our beer bars are round and at the center of our display so they are the ones that get noticed first. When we tell them it's soap we get "oh I thought it was cheese". Yup an open display of unwrapped cheese on a 90* day sitting for hours on end. How many you want? Or our salt bars which are all...

If I use the "big boys" I stick with American Owned breweries. Saranac, Sam Adams, Yuengling. Craft beers for that local flavor depending on where I'll be selling at.

We have done both in our short time of selling and they are different in the aspect of the time people will spend in your booth. At the market there are about 75 vendors at any given time and most are fruit and veggie types. When people stop at our both they do like to ask questions but then...

If it goes in my bar, it goes on my label.

I want to make a round bar with a different color round center core. My thought process is to use a 4" pipe for a mold, yes I really want it that large for our "Magnum" line, in the center of the pipe I would set a 1/2" pipe with a liner on the outside. Pour the main batter into the 4" pipe...

For those of you that sell and have made the choice not to have liability insurance as it's "just a hobby" and "it's soap" my agent likes to point out that as soon as you charge for your "hobby' it became a business. Also your soap may be the greatest thing since the merry-go-round, hate the...

Tried the same FO and didn't care for it. Smelled like a frat house after a three week bash. Unfortunately it didn't get any better with time.

Thanks Mommysoaper. As of now we aren't doing any online sales. I too use Square and have set it up that if I'm charging say $5.50 tax included the receipt will indicate $5.09 with an additional $0.41 tax for the counties we are working in at 8%. I know the tax rates in NY can get screwy...

Believe it or not when I use soapcalc I take the results of the oils required and multiply by 1.5 and that gets me real close to total yield. Most of my batches are 132 oz. of oil/butter. Times 1.5 yields 198 ozs. in the mold. I get 32 bars from a loaf, so 198 divided by 32 yields bars of 6.2...

I was playing around with pricing last night and you are spot on with the rounding factor to the nearest $0.25 or $0.50. It makes things so much simpler than figuring in pennies, nickles and dimes. I think for shows I'm going with "tax included". It's simple, it's clean and even though a...

This may not be in the right place. If not please feel free to move it. For those of you that sell, do you include tax in the price or do you "plus tax"? Say at $5.50 a bar, tax included, where I live that would equate to $5.09 plus $0.41 for the tax man. At $5.50 plus tax it changes to...

On the regular and salt bars we bevel the edges with a beveler from lotioncrafter.com Our round Beer Bars are done with a nylon stocking as we polish.

Makes them shine and gets rid of little imperfections and fingerprints that may get left behind. On our round bars it knocks off the raised edge. Use it lightly just light sanding a piece of wood. It's something you don't have to do but we sell and it adds a little to the look of the finished...

No marks but keep in mind the bars have been drying on a smaller coated rack for a week prior to being placed on these racks so they are fairly firm. I do polish all my bars with panty hose, the one item I insist my wife picks up for me, prior to wrapping.

You're correct, nothing between the soap and the rack. I only store them there for about 3 weeks. First week is on a coated steel rack, then a few weeks on the chrome racks, then they get stored in separate containers so scents don't get a chance to mingle. I have some that were stored on these...
