    I know this is not”promotional” but have you ever tried or considered “engraving” your logo or a saying directly onto your soap? I think that would be kinda cool! Thank you for your detailed instructions! Very helpful and look forward to more!

    • @SoyandShea
      @SoyandShea  7 месяцев назад

      I have seen a few people do that, but I've had too many other things in my laser, and I'd be worried about the hygiene of it. If I'd got the laser purely for soap, I would.

    Excellent video. You are so good at explaining everything. If you ever retire from full-time work you could start up a soaping and tutorial academy. You are a natural teacher. Love the products you have made ❤

    I know a soap that does laser on their soaps. Not all of their soaps just the special one for Holidays or their high end shelves, because it does take awhile. But I have to tell it makes those that he does do look awesome and some of the designs are extremely creative.
    Since you are very creative, it would be wonderful to see you give it a go!
    Cheers & Blessings from a Patreon member! 👍🤗

    • @cheryl739
      @cheryl739 7 месяцев назад

      I meant 'soaper'. I am not sure if he just uses the laser just for soap. Never asked. Perhaps there is certain material or such you could set the soap on. Sometime when you are caught up, because I know you are pretty busy. You might get in touch with the folks who sent the laser and ask them.
      Just a thought. 👍

    • @SoyandShea
      @SoyandShea  7 месяцев назад +1

      I have seen people do that too, and they look great. However, I just feel I've had too many other materials go through my machine, which I fear would make it unhygienic to add my soap. I do a lot of wood etching and cutting, and you can feel the sap from the wood no matter how much you clean it. Plus, I've etched tumblers, so there is fine paint dust in the machine, too. If I had an open machine or one dedicated to soap. I would definitely try it, but not now 🧡

    • @SoyandShea
      @SoyandShea  4 месяца назад +1

      Thank you 🧡 the bag doesn't have to be any set thickness. You just need to adjust the power accordingly so you don't burn all the way through
