Soap Show & Tell
To increase airflow around the soap while inside the wardrobe, if possible, I would do these two steps:Unboxed the hygroscope I bought today and also refilled my dehumidifier containers (Calcium chloride). Last Saturday, I bought some stackable boxes and organised my soaps, am planning to convert a spare wardrobe into a "curing rack".
I know most of the time its advised that curing be done in an airy, low humidity and not too sunny space, but only way I can reduce the humidity is to close the wardrobe! Anyone tried something similar before and knows if it'll be alright?
Btw, 82% humidity, welcome to a typical Singapore night. Turning on my AC for an hour with my fan on high speed, it's now a comfortable 25° and 54%.
To increase airflow around the soap while inside the wardrobe, if possible, I would do these two steps:
1. allow more space between each soap by spreading them out a little further from each other (maybe approximately 12 cm between each soap on each side)
2. add a fan inside the closed wardrobe so the air moves, such as this example *
3. add a water absorbing system to the wardrobe, like this: https://www.amazon.com/DampRid-Hanging-Fresh-16-Ounce-3-Pack/dp/B072LN492H
* Computer cooling fans are small, but powerful enough to dry light-weight clothing (I use them when I travel for hand washing laundry.) The advantages to them are that they are compact, use USB power cords, which I prefer to standard electrical outlet plugs and they are very quiet compared to many standing fans.
Fondling soap while it is curing = good for ones health! Feel better soon I hope.Cleaning before she comes is very selfish of you! You are robbing her of her chance to feel superior and showing you how to do it right.
This worked on my ex MIL until she caught on...
Edit to add what soapy thing I've done today. I fondled my curing soaps, tracked my shipment from SMR and stalked the forum. Oh and.inspected the rosemary and orange peel oil infusions, checked on the orange peel & alcohol extraction experiments. Slow day, home sick.

So relieved to learn I'm not the onlyFondling soap while it is curing = good for ones health!
Edgar Kameraki created this technique and taught it for the Soap Challenge Club. It's so pretty, right? Anyway, he does have a YouTube video showing the technique and the cut.I have been seeing videos of the oasis swirl, which was this month soap challenge clubs challenge. I love this swirl. Still in the planning stages, and i dont have dividers, so will just use cardboard box cutouts.
Also still trying to figure out how to cut the soaps. On one of the videos she gets all the way to the end but doesnt show how she cuts them. I dont want to butcher a loaf by trying to figure it out. So if anybody has any insight it would be appreciated lol.
I bet the look on his face was too cute. So happy to have some 4 Grammy!My soapy things this past week have consisted solely of using the MP soap that my grandsons made… couldn’t wait to trot out that soap for me to use.
