hello everyone welcome to my soap studio today I am here to test the Goliad soap mold by custom
craft tools you may have seen the unboxing and the video making um a soap in there clear slab mold
now today I'm testing the regular Goliath which is a 14 by 16 inch HDPE plastic with silicone
liner slab mold for cold processed soap making so today I am making a soap that is scented in
Palo Santo which is a fragrance oil by muddy SoCo and I cannot wait to try this one in soap
I've read great reviews it's supposed to behave so well in cold process no Rising no accelerating so
hopefully it will be um it will be representative of the reviews that I've seen um I'm also going to
be making a mica decoration with this um Sparkle gold Shimmer airbrush Mica by the Fizz fairy
and the soap will be colored with charcoal this will be an all black soap um it's gonna be a lump
of coal Palo Santo for the holidays but after the Holidays guess what it's just gonna be a golden
Palo Santo soap with charcoal so this is how to make a holiday soap into an all year round soap
and just changing the label in the name after the holidays we'll do the trick so the activated
charcoal that I'm using is from Windy Point soap making supplies and they are a Canadian supplier
I will list all of the lengths of the things that I am mentioning in the video in the description
box so make sure to check that out and windy points are also a patron of my patreon campaign
and by the way this soap will be on patreon so if you want to make it you can subscribe
and for five dollars a month you have access to one full tutorial and formula AKA a recipe
I say that because recipes are for cooking baking and formulas are for Cosmetics but when we say
recipes in the soap slang everybody understands but it's not the correct correct term to use all
right let's go ahead um I've already pre-mixed my charcoal with some distilled water and some
aloe vera extract some organic aloe vera powder to give this soap a lovely texture and color
black, pitch black so if you've been naughty this year you may get one of these in your Christmas
stockings let's measure out the fragrance oil so that when it's time to soap I am ready
in my stockpot I have a combination of cocoa and Shea Butters from Baraka
shea butter I also have some coconut oil some palm oil ethically produced
organic and fair trade certified by Palm Done Right and some olive oil
first let's incorporate my aloe vera extract and activated charcoal to my oils so this is
a one colored soap so we don't need to add the colorant afterwards it can be added right now
all right let's make some soap
and believe me or not these sleeves are baby legs that my kids were when they were babies
so cute right
okay so I've split this batch in half and
I'm going to add half of the palace Santa fragrance see how it behaves
as a side note the Palo Santo behaves beautifully there's
no acceleration no ricing it's very nice and fluid so that's that's good
and let's set the second half of the soak and pour the second layer
just for the ease of pouring and not breaking that first layer I'm going
to use one of these very handy pitcher and if you're a soap maker and you're
feeling like asking me in the comment section where did you get your boring
pictures I have them listed in my Amazon store which is also linked down below

wow this soap is so pretty I decided to make a soap like a all the way up to the top of this
mold fill it to its full capacity and now I'm afraid to put the lid on because it's so full
yes it doesn't touch oh all right we'll be back tomorrow to unmold and cut
time to unmold
foreign
let's steam the top first it's easier before than after
nice nice angles now let's split this slab
yay it's not tilting
nice wow
okay now for just for the sake of demonstration I'm going to take the caterpillar and show you
how you can cut these soaps using the caterpillar so if you are going to get just one cutter
it's a great choice because you can split your logs with it but you can also cut your soaps with it.
It comes with this little handy dandy little ruler and it has a little Groove to insert it
right here so then we can take one of our logs and place it either this way or this way I think I'm
gonna go this way it's a pretty tall bar of soap and then I want to cut these at 1.25 inches thick
so I'm going to take this part which was underneath the caterpillar before now I removed
it so that I can place it here lean it against the the side of the cutter and just push down
and voila we have a perfect 1.25 inch thick lump of coal AKA golden Palo Santo and charcoal soap
mmm because I do have another soap cutter and it cuts 12 uh not this one one two three four
five six seven eight nine it cuts nine bars at a time I'm gonna go ahead and put the Carter
pillar aside but I just wanted you to know that if you had just one cutter this could
be the one I'm gonna bring back my multi-wire self cutter and we will cut the rest of these with it
foreign
all the Soaps are cut and I'm really really happy about the result I really like the smell
it smells like Palo Santo wood but when it's not lit it's very nice very mild very woodsy
and before we set these to dry in the drying tray I'm gonna trim the I'm going to Bevel the
edges so that we have a more comfortable hold and it kind of looks more like a piece of coal
foreign
this is a soap beveler by Lulu soap tools and I really really like how it grips and grabs
onto the table so I can just slide and push my soap forward and then voila we have perfectly
smooth angles and if we compare side by side here's what it looks like so
we have these really nice trimmed edges and it's much more comfortable to hold
hey guys these soaps will need to try and [Music]
