They are really good about holding your hand to help you get it right. I bought the biolefin, which is still petroleum based but degrades faster than plastic. Not 100% sure how I feel about that but I don’t think there is a more env friendly option. Art, the owner at National Shrinkwrap (I think he’s the owner?) says that fragrances will permeate the wrap, but they are definitely subdued. Except I reliably blow holes in every wrapper which helps the fragrance get out!I look forward to seeing how it works for you. I know I want that system. Just hoping this cheapo isn’t a total waste of money for right now. Please share any tips or tricks you learn as you go! I’ve just got these wonky shaped bath bombs and 95RH outside, and I’ve gotta preserve them. Mighta put the cart before the horse.
By the end of my wrapping session yesterday I was going pretty fast - for bar soap one tip Art gives is to do the shrinking of several together - line them up and shrink all the ends first. Here are some examples from my efforts yesterday. Art would probably gasp if he saw my clumpy ends. Still have my training wheels on. (I cropped out the ones with my label.)
. Did you use infusions? I started a gromwell infusion back when the OPW challenge was happening, but I totally forgot about until just now! I can’t wait to see how your soaps turn out. Are you expecting the gromwell to shift to purple when the pH drops?
