Latest Salt Bars

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

Finally had a chane to soap again and so i whipped up some salt bars. CO, AVO, and castor with Lemongrass EO. They were cut within two hours of moulding up :wtf: the bars were still really warm to the touch, but really hard. Now for a good long cure............

Nice! You got a really smooth cut with those. Do you stab them, er... use a knife?

aye, used a knife. But my moulds have a cutting guide to help me.

They look really really nice, such a lovely green. I would love having them in my shower!

Beautiful green and I love lemongrass. Those will be amazing when you finally get through the cure. Well done!

Certainly - The first image shows the mould in "Soaping" mode. There is a block that make the mould 'finished' and I put my liner in here then pour the batter.

The second picture is cutting mode - When the soap is ready to cut, I take the block away, remove the soap from the liner and put it back in the mould, sliding it out until it hits the other block by my finger. I then cut using the edge of the mould as my guide. The paler line is where the knife strikes

Not pretty, but simple and efficacious.

That's niffty. Soap came out beautifully, too.
