The joint you were pointing to is called a box joint. I started with those Amazon molds as well. Then I decided I could make those myself. Then I did dadoed joints, straight joints, dowel joints, etc! I enjoy making the molds as much as the soap. I think I have more molds than soap now. 😊 all good to keep an 83 year old busy.

@RED-cy7ig Год назад

Wow. Nice to have talents in both fields.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

I'm impressed! I think woodworking is amazing, good for you❣️

@RTJames-gq9xg Год назад

Going to say-great molds are so so loved. Would love to find someone who could make me about 4-5 small molds. I’m a hobby soaper yet I enjoy making lots of recipes so I’ve switch to small silicones but would love a wood support for them. Wishing you the best!!!!

@ababytaleportraits1103 Год назад

Can't wait to see you use the Amazon molds. I wish you offered a class or series. I love following your videos. I did the soaps you made with the 4 loafs of different recipes. Everyone in my home loved them. You are such a great teacher, id love to join an online class with you!

I have purchased a few things also because of her. I really like and trust her opinion

@janegallagher5427 Год назад

I like the idea of putting the 2 holes in the wooden Amazon mold. I have cut a wide ribbon to line the bottom length and up the sides. It helps pull the soap-filled silicone mold out when it’s ready to unmold.😮

@ml3110 Год назад

Ellen, let me ask you this. 🌷 I love adding colloidal oats and kaolin clay and calamine and such. How do I know how much I can add? Do I do a sort of water discount or oil discount? Do you ever add it in somewhere on the soap calc? Would you do an episode on additives? That would be amazing. 🥰 Thank you so much for all that you do! You're just beautiful inside and out, and I love watching and learning from your videos.🪻 ~Michelle

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Thanks🥰 The dry additives are just “extra” and don’t factor in to the total # on soap calc. A good rule of thumb is 1-3 tsp per lb of oils👍

@Soylarimar Год назад

I actually bought the PVC caps! They sell them for all pipe sizes and works great/stands up so no need to add melt/pour to seal the bottom. I learned that trick from another YT soap maker.

Thanks to your excellent videos, my sisters and I are now enjoying my DIY lip and whipped body butters and solid lotion bars. I haven't launched into soaps yet- a bit leery, to be honest, of the chemicals required. I think I will gift them with some of YOUR superb and non-toxic soaps from the website! 🙂 I owe you a lot for making me look good to my sisters, and for the generous sharing of information on your RU-vid channel.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Awww, thank you so much for your sweet words🥰 Enjoy the making process❣️

@niccoleholmes567 Год назад

If you go to the hardware store by the PVC there are caps for the ends for all sizes. Ellen if you want pictures of what they look like let me know I will get pictures to you. The caps are like fifty cents a piece. They are great.

Best idea on the internet! I have those flower molds and other similar ones. Thank you for sharing the way you store them! I’ve been thinking about getting the triple heritage mold regular. I’m glad you like them. Hoping I can figure out the notching system for the cutters I have so many molds (mold addict) because I’ve been making soap for years and years. There’s not much more satisfying than releasing a perfect soap from a silicone mold. Thanks for sharing!

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

You are so welcome!❣️

@Slippyxr Год назад

Thanks for this helpful video. I mostly use the common beginner moulds and they still become airlocked in the wooden box. After watching this, I'm defs gonna try the talcum powder trick. Love your channel.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Yes, the powder makes unmolding so easy❣️

@BloomingMeadowsCo. Год назад

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Hanging them is a good idea too❣️

@charmainattwood977 Год назад

Great video Ellen. I recently got one of the flower molds you use after watching you use them, my favourite is the middle shape, I've made soap in it and it fits nicely in the hand, I'll definitely be using again. Was it raining at the start of the video, I love to hear it in people's videos. 😊🌻

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Yes, those flower molds make the perfect palm size soaps! I can't remember if it was raining??? But being TN, it probably was🤣

@HB-yk4ut Год назад

Great video! I have several of the silicone molds with the dovetail wooden boxes. I use 32 ounces of oil to fill these. I’m not a seller but hobby happy soaper and they are perfect for me. I’m going to buy some of the supplies you mentioned here. I want some of the embed molds.😊 You are my favorite soaper. Your videos extremely educational. I’m grateful I found you. Thank you!🌹🦋💚

I have those small loafs too from amazon with the lids. They are great actually got a set of 3 for like $25! Those cardboard file holders are genius...I'm currently dealing with a tote I rummage through haha! I'll have to get them soon! P.S Got your soap in the mail today. OMG they are amazing!!! Thank you!

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Okay, that's absolutely GENIUS❣️ Thanks so much for the suggestion, I'll be using it then next time I make a soap cake💗

@annreinbeau Год назад

I love my Willow Way tube molds from Soap Equipment. They have a weighted base and a Teflon liner, really easy to remove. Yes they cost more, but they've been workhorses for me, I've got six of them. I've got so many molds I don't use, I really need to destash. I've settled on Nurture loaf molds but I do have a triple wide mold from Workshop Heritage. I also have those Essential Depot molds I bought to use to teach soap making, I can only accommodate three people in my little lab, though.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Your Willow Way molds sound fabulous ❣️

@janerymus3524 Год назад

Thank you for all the content, I had soap stuck in a new silicone. It was so hard to get out.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Yes, I was in a total panic when mine stuck. The baby powder really helps❣️

@deborahlh7747 Год назад

Try putting your dolphin mold in the freezer for a few hours before unfolding. It might help it to release easier.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Good suggestion, I might give that a try next time.

@pinkiedee Год назад

I have a solution for you for your soap cakes! It’s a clay tool that ceramicists use to slice chunks of clay from the mother slab! Just type “clay wire cutter” into your search bar and BAM! Be forewarned to *not* get the wavy one unless you want the cut edge to look funky! Anywhooooo… Good morning, Ellen 😊 It was lovely hanging out with you this morning. I’m in Canada and don’t have a Hobby Lobby to visit and that makes me a bit harrumph-ish 😅 We do have Michaels but they are quite a bit more costly when it comes to molds. I invested in some rectangular molds for my Castile soaps so they can stay put for a week while they harden up a bit. Jeepers they take forever to firm up. Have a wonderful weekend. See you next time!

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Thanks so much for the clay cutting too tip! I'm going to go look into that now❣️

@pinkiedee Год назад

@ninaroediger-kt2vy Год назад

Wonderful information, I’ve learned new trick to organize my fun pattern silicon mounds! There is one thing, however, as of water, volume in cubic centimeters equal to weight in grams, volume is always cubed, not squared.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

You're right about the cubed vs squared, I said it wrong in the video.💕

@antoinettewilliams1355 Год назад

Have you ever noticed more soda ash forming on individual molds vrs loaf? Thanks for the informative mold comparisons. It’s great for new soapers. 😊

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Yes, I do notice a bit more soda ash on the smaller cavity molds, but a good steaming fixes it😉

@lindacrawford5029 2 месяца назад

Question, do you put anything in flower type small soap molds to keep details, like spray oil? Thank you!

@EllenRuthSoap 2 месяца назад

No, I just pour the batter in 👍

@reallifewithmamakim7537 Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing, this helps me a lot, I'm a new soaper and I could use the help. Have you ever thought about putting something together for us beginners and sell it, like a basic recipe for soaping, where to find vendors and equipment. That would help a lot and put money in your pocket or set up a subscription to join and charge monthly for it and have helpful tips in there, if so I would be the first to purchase

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

So glad you found this helpful! I'll be doing more videos for beginners in the future.

@kevinpitts3548 8 месяцев назад

Just curious if you know if there is a big mold that matches a kraft box for packaging? I am looking to rebrand and simplify the process. I was hoping there was an off the shelf solution instead of customize one or the other

@EllenRuthSoap 8 месяцев назад

I don't..

@823Steve Год назад

Enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. Not to be nit-picky, but the result of LxWxH is cubic cm, not square cm. The baby powder is a great idea, but I would guess any kind of flour or corn starch would work well too.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Yes, you're correct about cubic vs square👍

@jennifergaytan97 Год назад

Just came here to say this, too. I'm a home schooling mamma. When you multiply 3 dimensions, it's cubic...squared is 2 dimensional. 😉

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

@@jennifergaytan97 Yes, I've had a few folks point that out... As a homeschool mama myself, I should have caught that🤣

@Nathan-pm8mh 5 месяцев назад

Ellen, are the silicone molds at 3:10 suitable for making bathbombs? Like, is the volume ok, too much, or too little for a bathbomb?

@EllenRuthSoap 5 месяцев назад

They are super flexible, so I'm not sure how hard you can press the bath bomb powder into them?? Personally, I wouldn't use them.

@ahmadhabib9553 2 месяца назад

It is not cm square, it is cm cube, it is the volume we measure. 1 cm cube = 1 ml which is equal to 1 gram of water at room temperature. So the ml amount is equal to roughly the grams.

@EllenRuthSoap 2 месяца назад

You are correct❣️ Thank you for explaining it so clearly.

@vanessaschenck9187 Год назад

Can you explain the gel phase please.

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Gel phase is when the soap heats up after you mold it, and goes thru saponification quicker.

@lbscroggs Год назад

Ok when measuring ingredients for mold let’s say it holds 42 gram how do you determine how much is the oil part I know how to figure lye and water but on oils to make it add up to 42 grams

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

You can run the # thru soap calc and adjust until you get the volume you're needing.

@kellensimonedossantos8442 Год назад

Ellen amei as explicações legendadas em português gostaria de saber se enviam para nós do Brasil 🇧🇷 queremos comprar as formas gigantes e também quero os jarros grandes por favor nos ajude

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

Thanks for watching! You'd need to contact Workshop Heritage about shipping.

@cramsey3418 Год назад

How do you clean your molds

@EllenRuthSoap Год назад

I use warm soapy water, rinse and let air dry.

@fem4496 Год назад

Correct; cm/ grams... 1000 grams is 1 liter water. Oil is a bit lighter, but if you use 1000 grams of oils youre mold will flow over. Because you also add water and lye. If you use a tad less then 1000 gr in total, you will be fine. Because the oil has a lighter weight then water the volume is more.

Soap weight, not volume though it should be noted that water is the same in weight and volume. I tare, fill with water and the multiply times 92%. The 4” Silicone Square Mold is my “test” mold…new recipe, new scent, new colorant, new additives. And it is a good mold for ‘hobbies’…it only makes 4-1” 5oz so you can make lots of different soaps without becoming buried in soap.
