Soap Making Kits Good …

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:28:49 +0000

Good tools will make a significant difference in the ease of making soap. If you need help with the beginnings of soapmaking consider our Soap Making Kits. Gloves are necessary to protect your hands from splatters. Ours are made from latex coated with Nitril. You can wash them in the washing machine and hang them upside-down to dry. Helpful hint: Fold a small cuff at the open end of each glove to prevent drips running to your elbow. The gloves come in sizes 8, 9 and 10. This is how to size your gloves. Using a tape measure or a piece of string, measure around the thickest part of the hand between the thumb and forefinger, all the way around the palm, this is generally midway between the knuckle and inside base of the thumb. Using this measurement (in inches) select a glove size of 8, 9 or 10. Heavy Duty Gloves, Size 8 $5.00 Heavy Duty Gloves, Size 9 $5.00 Heavy Duty Gloves, Size 10 $5.00 Goggles are a MUST HAVE item. Do not attempt to make soap without protecting your eyes. One little splash will be one too many without protection. Our goggles cover the eyes completely with side vents to minimize fogging. They are large enough to cover most eye glasses. Our goggles also have an anti-fog film so their continued use is comfortable and enjoyable. Goggles $4.00 OK, the deadline draws near and you still have to make the lip balm! Not to worry, this tray will rescue your behind from the proverbial hot spot. And don’t just take our word on these trays. In the first 2 weeks we had 60 trays go to good homes. These trays helped their owners in major lip balm production! We hear great comments about these trays daily. We were so pleased to get the regular lip balm tray AND a tray for the slim stick tubes! Can you believe it?! If you would like a tutorial, then please go to for assistance. Our photographer was in today taking pictures. I couldn’t believe how fast we were able to make 50 tubes. Simple. Clean. And dishwasher safe. Don’t confuse these trays with those which are milled, these professional trays are injection molded of HDPE. A super class act! In photo order from top to bottom: Order the Regular Tray for bottom twist. Order the Oval Lip Balm Tube tray for oval tubes. Order the Slim Stick Tray for the Slim Stick tubes. We have a couple of hints for users. 1) Pour the lip balm mixture as cool as possible. The tubes can become mis-shapen if the lip balm mix is super hot. Use our quick test to determine if your lip mixture is ready: stir the mixture with a pipette, hold the pipette horizontal after stirring, if the pipette bends downward then the mixture is WAY too hot. If the pipette holds it’s rigid form and the mixture is still clear then the mixture is at perfect pouring temperature. 2) Load the tray with tubes just before filling. Long term storage of tubes held in the tray can cause temporary distortion of the tubes. To return tubes to their original shape, remove them from the tray and allow them to sit without their caps for a few days. 3) Allow the filled tubes to fully cool before removing from the tray. This may take a hour depending on the temperatures of the lip balm mixture and the room where you are working. Then, when the tubes are cool, give the tube a twist just before pulling straight out. The lip balm mixture at the top of the tube (the glorious crown!) can be damaged if the lip balm is too soft when removed from the tray. Patience is certainly an asset in this case. ATTENTION! Before you use this tray please look VERY closely at the tutorial. Specifically look at the picture that shows the first pour into the tray. There are three tubes that have been filled and the fourth tube is being filled in the photo. We want you to notice the cooled lip balm mixture around the top of the Pyrex container. Please stir your lip balm mixture until it develops a haze just like this photo. If you pour while the lip balm is still too hot then the tubes can be temporarily warped. When the warping happens the caps may not fit tightly. If you will cool the lip balm mixture until a haze develops the chances of warping the tubes is greatly decreased. What happens if you have poured too hot? Well, we suggest placing the cap on the tube then fitting a shrink band over the tube and heat shrinking the band. This short period of heating will relax the plastic tube and allow it to go back to the original size. UPDATE! We now have the tray for the oval lip balm tubes! Regular Tube Lip Balm Filling Tray $13.50 OVAL Lip Balm Tube Filling Tray $13.50 Slim Stick Lip Balm Tube Filling Tray $13.50 We have a filling tray for the BIG lip balm tubes! These 1/4 oz tubes are the nice collar twist tubes in our catalog. They make a great big lip balm or treatment stick. This tray can help you fill them quickly and efficiently. Make 20 tubes in a flood style filling and once the tubes are cool you can cap and GO! If you would like a tutorial, then please go to for assistance. Don’t forget to order the BIG tubes for use with this tray. This tray can be washed in the dishwasher. We have a couple of hints for users. 1) Pour the lip balm mixture as cool as possible.

Each vial contains 100 strips. pH Test Strips $2.00 Do you need a decent scale but aren’t ready for the big leagues? Many of our soap makers want a good scale to get started in their hobby but are put off by the bigger and better scales. An entry level scale is what our catalog has been missing! To solve this problem we now have a slim profile scale that weighs in 1 gram or 0.25 ounce increments. The capacity is 3 Kg or 7 lbs. While this is not the ideal scale for making lip balm or lotions because of the readability (0.1 gram readability is recommended for these items), this scale is great for soap makers or people who use the bases and just need to weigh out 8 oz of cream for a single jar. The scale has a tare so you can put your container on the scale, press tare and the display will show only what you put INSIDE the container! Isn’t that cool? This scale has a digital readout so you don’t need to get your glasses out to determine where the little line is measuring! This scale needs 3 AAA batteries and they are included with the scale! Enjoy! Slim Kitchen Scale $28.50 As long as you are dedicating your tools to soapmaking, why not get a container that is just right for the job? You will no longer have to rob your kitchen for the perfect pot. The 87 oz bucket works nice for one or two pound fat batches. If you want to try your hand at something larger, use a 1, 2 or 3
