My FREE custom soap stamp from Owosso Graphics came in last week. It is made of magnesium and looks awesome!
Anyway, I've already ruined about 4 soaps trying to use it.
Three of them had been cut for about 3-4 days, so I guess they were a little too hard.
The fourth I tried stamping right after cutting and the soap stuck to the grooves in the stamp, so I will have to keep cleaning it out every time, if I do it that way.
Is there a suggested time frame to stamp your CP soaps? I know it's all about the pressure I put on the stamp too, but all four times I tried with different pressure and my stamp either smooshed right into the soap or cracked it.
What am I doing wrong? Should I run the stamp under hot water before stamping? Are there any tricks like that?
