You might be able to keep your marks a little longer if you painted them on with Glass and Tile medium, mixed with a bit of paint or ink.

Maybe start small, like with a wash board and wringer? :lol:

I may have to get in on this. Just a little batch.

Do you have trouble with the teeth leaving drag marks on the soap? I used a mitre box and saw for a while, which worked okay, but the cuts weren't very clean.

If you wax it, it would probably protect the wood from any accidental spills or small leaks in your lining.

I like your approach, and am enjoying your experiment threads.

Perhaps they were trying to achieve a shaving cream instead.

The first day went pretty well.

My wife and I are attending our first local sale together. Some of her pottery and lotion bars, my soap and aftershave. I spent a lot of time yesterday getting things ready for that.

You should add "Soapguyver" to your forum signature. :lol:

I thought this was true at all times? :) Whenever our stash of extra soap gets too large, we just bring it all out during a party or something and let people take whatever they want.

Does anyone know if this technique works with ITP swirl at all?
