Thank you! I really like the mica lines too!

They should fit together like a puzzle but I misplaced so I have gaps ha. No one notices but me. But I’m a perfectionist 😂

Thank you 😊 🤍🤍

Thank you! I love scales! They add that little something extra!

awww thank you! 😊

MY customers liked the less coconut oil version better. But I'd say try different recipes and see what you like. You can start with the recipe I provide at 12:55 in the video. Then if you want to adjust from there and rerun the calculations you can do that. If you remove some coconut oil you can add it into the tallow/stearic to make up the difference. :)

@@TheSoapArtist ok perfect thank you!!

This is the Makin that holds 18mm Discswww.amazon.com/Makins-USA-35055-Professional-Ultimate/dp/B0018BOXWQ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1L3PQTRKGMMP5&keywords=makin+extruder&qid=1689030562&sprefix=makin+extruder%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-3 The adaptor piece that goes ON THE MAKIN extruder. That will hold the 24mm discs.www.etsy.com/listing/1361027691/extruder-enlarger-for-24mm-discs?click_key=8e965fc8c657709fe6b3c41d5baf6f98d54b81bc%3A1361027691&click_sum=ea23cdfd&external_collection=&frs=1&sts=1 The large 57mm discs need a clay extruder or a jerky gun. You can search Jerky Gun on Amazon and a slew of options will come up. This is the one I recommend: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MQBZZLZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I create grab bags with my end pieces so nothing goes to waste :) Lots of people love the surprise of a mixed bag of end pieces.

Thank you :) there are a few bars left: jennifersoap.com/collections/limited-edition/products/blueberry-mint-girl-and-dog

Can you just use a soap calculator? Or course. That's what I do, because the math takes time and both will give me the same results. But I understand exactly HOW soapcalc is giving me the results it is. And that is a good thing to know. I am firm believe that having a firm base for understanding HOW soap calc gives you these numbers is important if you want to grow as a soap maker. Knowledge is never wasted. Understanding how water works in your recipe allows you to use it to your advantage depending on the design/technique you want to do. Understanding how the saponification process works will help you troubleshoot problems and allow you to understand some of the "rules" you hear. Knowing how to calculate a recipe can save you if you mess up because you will know how to fix it/what you need to do to fix it. Understanding percentages will allow you to look at any recipe (as you grow and learn more about oils) and determine if you think it's a good recipe/want to try it/tweak it... Do you need to do the math to make soap, no. Does understanding the math help you grow as a soap maker, most definitely. IS this something you have to/need to learn all at once? No. These are concepts that you will learn over time, with the more batches you make, the more you explore oils, the more you have to troubleshoot mistakes...that's when you come back and revisit this knowledge and learn and grow. It's how things will start to click the more you learn. I didn't understand all these concepts when I first started, nor did it all make sense right at the start. I learned over time through many many many batches of making soap :)

Thank you so much! <3

Thank you :) I am my worst critic ha!

@@TheSoapArtist same lol

Hi! Super fat is something completely different from water strength. (Superfat is about excess oils in soap, water strength is about the lye to water ratio). Most people just say: 25% Lye Solution (or any other percentage that you're using), what they mean when they say this is basically my "water solution strength is 25%" You'll see it on Lye calculators as "lye concentration".

I recommend going to soapcalc.net and playing with that calculator, and using the "lye concentration" option when it comes to water and you'll get an idea more on water strength. You can also play with the other water options. It's a great way to learn.

Thank you!! <3

There's a lot of different information out there and some "old" information that persists on sticking around is that the FO is based off the weight of the oils. Ask your supplier, but every one I have asked (and all the ones I use), the IFRA max amounts are based off the total batch weight. So, calculate how much water, lye, and oils you have and then take a % of that number to find the max amount of fragrance you can use based off the IFRA. SoapCalc doesn't calculate the fragrance that way, and I never use it. I always just calculate by hand because it's easy and fragrances all have different usage rates. For calculating Essentials Oils I use this calculator: www.eocalc.com/enter-your-own-blend/

aww thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

Haha yeah, I had the bars and they were already cut and had holes in them for the crystals lol so I stuck it out.

With soap dough and extruder discs. I have a number of videos on both on my channel and a link to the discs in the description of this video if you're interested :)

@@TheSoapArtist yes i am interested and also interested in having discs made up for a highway truck as if its coming right at you in the soap.

Thank you :)

thank you!! :) <3

Thank you so much!

🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think I have the patience to ever repeat this 🤣🤣🤣, but thank you! I did like how it turned out! The work to make it though 😭😭😭!

Thank you so much! <3

Thank you! The dragons are my favorite too!

It's cold process soap and I use mica to color it. How much mica depends on the color and supplier.

Thank you :) The mold came from Cute Craft Molds on ETSY.
