A Few Tips with M&P

[dragonfly princess]

I am, by no means, a pro with M&P, but I have found a few things that help out.

You can use almost anything for a mold!!!

Rubbing Alcohol is your best friend, spray one layer of soap with alcohol to adhere next layer. I use alot!! Puddles

If you don't like how it came out...REMELT! I have found that after a remelt, my soap lathers even better.

You can make you M&P look just like CP, just get one of Pauls TOG soap molds

Yup! I think you told me about the alcohol when I first began! It really is a life saver!

Thanks for the tips! I'm sure they will come in handy when I am finally able to get stated! But, I have a question for you... who is Paul and how do I find his molds?? Sorry to have to ask this. But, I am still new enough to this forum that I don't know everyone yet!!

Thanks,
Robert

If I can add...

Play with it, add things to it, see what you come up with.

I prefer to have mine sit/"cure" for 2-3 days before wrapping or storing.

Not all MP needs to be wrapped, don't wrap a bar and see how it is.

Hi Robert, I'm here! I see your big "S" in the sky for Soapmaker Man! Those girls are silly! If you have any questions, just ask me! Thanks for the plug Dragon! The new HDPE Molds are going to be really good with M&P! 8)

Thanks for the input, Bret. I am sure that I will do some experimenting as I go. But, since I will be starting out very, very small, with an extremely tight budget, I will try my best to do as Tabitha suggested in another thread. She suggested that I "stay focused" and not spend all of my profit doing a lot of experimenting.... at least until I get to making more money than I can otherwise spend!!!!

Batman... I mean... Paul... thanks for stopping by and introducing yourself! A great big "howdy" from the Volunteer State!! I've already checked your site out. Looks like you make some very nice things. Workmanship looks great!! But, right now I just can't afford extras like that. Maybe in the future...... !
