Thank you for this picture, Tara. I am up against a wall for needing to organize all my soaping supplies at this point. My husband wants the kitchen table back, can you imagine that? Are you putting soap in those boxes before or after they are cured?
Yes, I meant the interlocking plastic trays. If I had a place to put a bread rack, however, I might be looking at one of those down the road. I’m still in the hobbyist stage, Probably for the long-haul, so I don’t yet have a need for a whole baking rack full of soaps.
This is exactly what I want to be able to slide my trays in and out. What a great set up you have @Justcallmewillie
Are these high quality Stainless Steel shelving? If not, I would recommend placing a liner on the metal as a buffer against DOS before stacking your soap on the shelves. My racks like that came with plastic liners, but you can also use plastic crafter's mesh (like for needlepoint) or other types of lining that lifts the bar up off the metal and still allows for airflow.
Do you find your soap cures ok in the box's or is this for soap supplies?.
Those are similar to bread trays here in the US. My DH and I went out to dinner Thursday night, and walking back to the car, I saw exactly 3 of the bread trays outside the front door of a restaurant after closing. The bottom tray even had wheels. Unfortunately, DH felt it necessary to remind me that just because they were outside the door after closing didn’t mean they were there for the taking. I’m sure someone was supposed to pick them up? I need exactly 3 trays for my soap. Maybe the restaurant wants to give them to me and I should call?
After cure - I also have (had) a soap mountain for curing purposes but it's significantly reduced these days since I no longer have 20+ soaps in the cure phase at once...
I was gifted that model of rack for my birthday a couple of years ago. It’s very sturdy and holds a lot of soap. I use paper towels to line the shelves and catch soap crumbs.
Good to know someone on the forum actually has one of these. Makes it a little easier to make the purchase when I get around to it. Thanks for the feedback!
No question about that! On his own initiative, he decided to look up the trays online and discovered we can buy new ones for an affordable price. I must give him credit for that!
