If you want to try a commercial bakers rack keep in mind the points I mentioned in the video. There are 20 levels on this tray. If you want to use each level then I would suggest bolting the rack to your wall and locking the wheels. (Trays sold separate)You can purchase here: www.amazon.com/New-Star-36527-...
A note on Baker's Rack Trays!! They are NOT included with purchase of a rack AND they come in 2 sizes. Half and full. The ones that I have in my video are FULL size. You can fit one full size tray or 2 half per each level with 3 inches of spacing between each level. (20 total levels.) For full capacity, you would need either 20 FULL size or 40 HALF size. To fill every other level like I am in this video, you would need 10 FULL size trays.
12 FULL size trays metal trays for bakers rack: www.amazon.com/New-Star-Foodse...
12 HALF size trays (might be more ideal if you cannot lift as much weight at once): www.amazon.com/New-Star-Foodse...
And of course you can use any star stickers for my "star bar" method of curing soap. Check out your options here: www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UT...
Pocket Scales are cheap and very accurate for light weight objects. It is a much better deal to buy a separate scale for this as opposed to buying a large scale with higher accuracy. Shop for pocket scales and get one sensitive enough to measure a minimum of .1 gram. www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UT...

I use bread trays for curing. Like the delivery trucks haul it in. I bought them used, from the bread company, originally, very cheap $6, and have bought some new since from the restaurant supply company. around $11, now. They are stackable, and work great. I go cheap because I don't sell my soap. I give it to charities, and now I give it to several hospitals for premies. I have a very expensive hobby/addiction to making all natural soaps, so, getting tools and ingredients as inexpensively as possible is important.
It's so gracious of you to share your experience and knowledge. Thank you.
Love the tip on the hand scale and checking the soaps weight. Good to see you making a vid again!
Great video Bonnie. Thank you! Matt and I were looking to buy a few of the bread rack type racks but after watching this, I think we will go a different route. Thanks for sharing your experience with them.
Thank you Bonnie. I was wondering about the bakers racks and now I know not to get any. I really like the star bar idea.
Thanks again! :)
Meet me at the "Star Bar". 🍹 Lol. 😂. Thanks for the good tips here!
I really like the idea of star bar - thanks for sharing!
if you put some oil on the places where the trays slids it wont shave off.
you can also take a bit extra time, if you have it, and cover the inside where the trays slide with posterboard or cardboard material.
or even wax paper...
or just some plane old box tape works perfect and is less tedious.
also....i believe they have plastic trays you can use instead of the aluminum...
that will help as well.
but they are quit expensive.
Thanks for the star bar method! I have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you Bonnie. I am thinking I will ask for some plastic racks for Christmas. They look super sturdy. Love your star bar method. I usually carve a letter into one of my bars (so I know which one I am weighing) but then I can't give that bar away. Need to get some stars!
Thank you for the info on your star bar very helpful!!!
This was super informative. And fun to watch! Thank you :)
great video, really like your star bar method.
Definitely learned something tonight. Thanks for the information.
Thank you for sharing such a thorough walkthrough. This is very helpful.
Thanks for the tip on curing the soap.
Thank you so much for sharing these tips
Wow Bonnie thanks you saved me a lot - I was supposed to buy the Bakery shelf trolley for my soap curing- I think I will go for PP Boxes stackable with wheels
Well said: "if you are living on planet Earth" !! :) :)
great Vid. thanks for sharing
very very good information about weighing the soap to check to water weight. thank you very much.
@goodearthspa I live in Florida and though my soaps tend to fully cure and I also weigh them to verify like you said, if I go to let's say a craft show outside they get slimy with the humidity from our terrible Florida weather. Any tips on how to combat that?
Hi Bonnie! Hope you are doing well. Does ED sell the tray with wheels? I bought a set of trays from them and never saw the one with wheels
Great, tip on the curing thank YOU! 🙏
Nice job.
great video
that a good tip, I will use it.
I love those racks, but the problem is, if you create multiple types of soaps and cure them all in 1 tray, their scents will all blend together. It's better to have small trays dedicated to each soap type and have them spaced out a good distance away from each other.
Thank you Bonnie, I just bought one of those, and I also got the trays but I was wondering if the lye will affect them in any way I guess not. But I wish I would have known sooner about the shavings of the aluminum oh well now I"m sock it it . Thanks for such wonderful tips. I love your videos, thank you
+Dunia Rosa I line the bottoms with paper so the soap doesn't actually touch the aluminum.
Thank you very much for your input.
+Dunia Rosa I have one of those baking racks, but I didn't buy the aluminum trays, but use 1/2" plywood cut to fit. If you can take the trays back, I would.
+Dunia Rosa I covered the aluminum shelves with shelf sticky paper. Works great and can be wiped down. I haven't noticed ant savings.
+Christiane R Well that sounds like it would work! Contact Paper is great stuff!
Dear, I make soap aswell it's so much fun. However I also make completely black soap like urs and I see that you have this white/greyisch layer on the surface of the soap. Ive this aswell but what is it? hope to hear from you!
i think you are talking about "soda ash" it is not dangerous, only could cause a problem with esthetics...(I really don't mind it personally)...if you want to avoid it, try spraying 99% rubbing alcohol right after putting in the mold...the alcohol will evaporate while the soap is curing, and usually, the soda ash is not getting on it. Now you have to forgive me..."Soda ash forms when unsaponified lye reacts with naturally occurring carbon dioxide in the air" you can read this on the soap queen website.
Hi Bonnie, Good Information. Where did you get your pocket scale ? Thank you.
+SeattleDonna206 I usually order them online. I buy a couple at a time because I have been known to clumsily spill stuff all over them. I have a link in the description that you can view or you can also find them locally at smoke shops as they have um.... "another purpose" lol
@@GoodEarthSpa lols. Thanks.😄. Have a blessid day!/night!.
It is very nice. Can you help me why the soap I make keep losing it’s fragrance very quickly. How can I prevent this so my soaps keep their fragrances?
If your Flash Point on your Fragrance Oils is very low, that could be one reason why it is losing Fragrance quickly.
You may be adding the fragrance when the soap is still too hot - Flashpoint like just mentioned. Be patient and as when it is under 100 degrees F for lotion and around 103-108 for soap. See what the flash points (points at which they evaporate are)
I cannot find the pro soap launching kits in their site
Hi Bonnie. I was watching how you do the "Star Bar" weight. I'm kind of new to this process, but what I'm wondering is if you only weigh one bar of soap during the curing process than how do you come up with your net wt for your labels? Please Help!
Katie Wile My bars usually cure at over 4oz but less than 5 so I use 4oz as my net weight. I only use the weight of one bar per batch to monitor curing. Monitoring the curing weight loss is a separate thing from determining the net weight. The weight of the product after the cure but before packaging is the net weight. Because it can vary slightly per par, you could consider the net weight to be a minimum. Some people get more. In my records, the batch sizes reflect a net raw materials that should result in 4.6 oz per bar and the average bar is more than 4 oz.
Ok. So after my soap is cured. I could weigh each bar and then divide that by how many bars I have to get a label weight right? Just asking. I cut my soap at 1". By the way I love your videos I'm learning a lot from them.
Katie Wile I wouldn't use the average weight because many will be below what you claim. I use a lower weight or the lowest weight from the batch. For more information, refer to the FDA's Cosmetic Labeling Guide. Section: Net Quantity of Contents Declaration.
Ok thanks. I understand what you're saying I think. I will weigh all bars and take the lowest weight as my net wt
Very helpful video thanks!
You're soap smells upto here!

Sounds like the stacking method is a good / bad idea. Because it looks like it would tear up your lower back.
😂😂😂 Star bar...
