New to soap making. Working currently with melt and pour. When I view your videos and others with cold process, I can see that it doesn’t start setting up for y’all as fast as a melt and pour. Still a long way from your expertise. Yes I like making it look perfect, too. Questions? Where do I start. Looking at plenty of tutorials. How do you know how much oils to add? How much lye per soap? How much scent? Soap for dummies here😂… so yes I am on a journey for knowledge. I am subscribed and loved this design! Keep them coming.❤

Love your work!!! Personally, I'd love to better understand the properties each type of oil brings to the recipe and what ranges are desirable. I've often wished SoapCalc would assign ranges as they do for qualities like hardness, cleansing, etc. You touched on it in this video and I'd love for you to cover the topic in more detail in a future video. Also, perhaps how you approach creating a recipe from most important qualities to least important. Also, I enjoyed how you showed some of your fails. It made me feel better about my own.

@sweethomesoaps4811 2 года назад

I adore your videos. They are so informative for new soapers. Belinda gave me a tip for the shapers: instead of using tape, use rubber bands to affix the stick/guides. I had tried a few different kinds of tape, and I found that none held as well as I would like. I used 2 rubber bands to affix the guide and it worked very well (plus they are reusable!).

So happy to see a video!!! Missed you lots!! Salt bars are my issue i know you've done it in the past. But I'm allergic to coconut so my recipe omits it and I've found no matter the ratio my bar crumbles to pieces. I use cocoa, shea, kokoum, olive, castor, avocado and mango.

Also the information you gave was nice and would like to know more about the properties of oils. I subscribed to your channel. You are truly amazing!

@dezzimeche4232 2 года назад

I've never used indigo before in my CP soaps. I do use palm in some of my bars. Why should you not use them together? I couldn't find any info on it other than possible discoloration. I enjoy learning about the chemistry. My husband calls me a mad scientist lol. Love your videos!

Just because you have footage doesn't mean you have to use it. It's frustrating because the effort was made to make it, but if your heart is not in it, then that's that. I wouldn't mind see soap footage with some music cut over it, but that's in you really want to put that footage to use. You're videos are helpful, especially when new to soaping. You just having fun, trouble shooting, giving something a try, showcasing techniques or ways of doing things that you've changed over time, etc, would also be interesting too.

@TreeMarieSoapworks 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your input, Pam! 💖 It is frustrating because it's like the footage is ripe for the picking and now it's getting past it's best.💕 In the beginning, that's what I wanted my channel to be, just showcasing what I'm working on. I thought RU-vid would be enough income to pay the bills, but it's not at all unless you have sponsors. (I don't want to do that because I don't like them in other videos, so I don't want to subject my viewers to that.)

@ofthebeanvariety 2 года назад

@@TreeMarieSoapworks That's a tough and draining spot to be in. Even if you enjoy it, work is work. Doing RU-vid and other socials, is work. I trust that you can figure something out that works best for you. Maybe Patreon can help; if that's a route you're comfortable with.

@donnahayes7375 2 года назад

Hi, I am totally impressed with the two bars of soap purchased and the packaging is exquisite. Eventually I will be able to afford to buy some of the beautiful mountain shapers. The scent you used was perfect. I will definitely try it in my next salt spa bar. Reminds me of the ocean. Did you design your own box for the Awakening Soap. I love it. Every thing about my purchase is divine.

@TreeMarieSoapworks 2 года назад

It would be great in salt bars too! 💕 Yes, I make my boxes from start to finish. It's a lot of work, but it allows me to tailor them to small batches. I'm so glad you like them, Donna. Thank you for your feedback! 😊💖✨

@chrisschu9953 2 года назад

I enjoy your videos immensely. You soap and your work process are beautiful. And you explain a lot of interesting facts about soap. I would be nice to get a more in depth explanation about sapponifcation. What happens, why do you need to be so exact in the measurements, what does a waterdiscount do, why are some fragerances accelerating and some slowing, what are the chemical differences in the hard/ liquid oils and fragerance oils what is their function in the soap? You said you used graphpaper for working out the percentages. That was a lot of counting for sure. Next time you could draw the design on heavy cardstok, cut out every section and get the percentages out of the weight of each section. You would need a very fine scale. But it would be less counting.

Hey Teri! LOVE this vid and am going to give layering a try. At the end, when you cover up the holes/flaws (I try to do this too), how did you keep the soap batter soft enough to work with? Thank you!

@anikabreutigam1542 Год назад

Possibly the same way you would with soap dough? So keeping it airtight should keep it soft if I understand that correctly.

@steelersgirl071961 2 года назад

Wonderful, but how can you work so clean? my work table when I'm working is a disaster jajaja.Beautiful work!

@lilychats5317 2 года назад

Thank you for the video! Just to clarify, is the reason you measure and pour the lye separately because of the different amounts of colorants you used per layer?

@TreeMarieSoapworks 2 года назад

That is correct, Lily.👍 And it is added to the lye instead of the oils because lye is supposed to bring out the color of the indigo. 🧪💕

@juliebaird9946 Год назад

Hi! I'm loving your channel! You do really beautiful work! I read that it's wise to spray alcohol in between your layers to help them "stick" together, yet I didn't see you do that. Did you just edit that part out or do you recommend not using the alcohol? Thanks!🥰

@TreeMarieSoapworks Год назад

Thank you, Julie. You only need alcohol between layers in Melt & Pour soap, not CP soap. It sticks together fine.

@pattysegvich2796 Год назад

Great video! How long does it take for each layer to set up, are you waiting until it's firm to the touch? Do you keep it at room temp while waiting. Also, do these layered soaps go through a gel phase. I've been soaping for 3 years but have made basic bars and am just now getting into the artistic side.

@TreeMarieSoapworks Год назад

Do you mean how long till it's ready to sculpt? (Not firm to touch.) That depends on the fragrance and the recipe you use. Mine took probably 30 minutes to hold its shape. Then once it's sculpted, it's ready for the next layer, which will need to thicken enough to keep its shape. (I should have used a slightly accelerating fragrance.) I didn't notice a gel phase, but I believe I covered this one and didn't oven process it.

Hello, I'm just fascinated by your work, it's wonderful. Please tell me how do you keep the main mass in the state? After mixing, I have two or three minutes and the mass is thick and I can't do anything. I mix at a temperature of 38 degrees (250 gr. coconut oil; 200 g shea butter; 200 g olive oil; 100 g castor oil and 100 g macadamia oil + 116.41 soda and 280 water).

@amandaphung8056 Год назад

I just made my first sculpted layer soap! I should’ve made 15% extra like you because it was really hard to get all my tall peaks… did I miss where the link is to calculate the splits for each layer using graph paper? I’d love to learn more!

@TreeMarieSoapworks Год назад

Oh, so sorry, I got pulled away and never finished it. It involves putting the design on graph paper and counting the squares in each layer, then divide by the total number of squares. That will give you the percent for each layer. Up the normal batch size by 15% and divide your batter into the percentages you figured. I hope this helps, Amanda! 💕
