Before I shrink blow, I take a sharp straight pin on a soft surface and make a hole on each opposite end. So I don't get the 'puff'. But, snipping an end of the soap so it can be smelled is a good idea! My customers are always killing themselves trying to smell through the bag! Also yes, an embossing gun works fabulous. I got mine on Ebay for about $11.00. They get very hot. Also, just like you were doing; constantly moving the gun and the soap prevents holes from being melted into the bag . Pressing while blowing prevents those extremely sharp corners and flattens the wrap.Great video and beautiful soap!
Excellent tutorial. I was trying to figure out how to do this for a larger round item consistently. The idea of using the sealer to cut it and pushing the corners in was the missing trick. Thanks!
Where does everyone get the best shrink wrapping bags from? I got some from Amazon and it’s nearly impossible to get the soaps in them to begin with. I have to use a cut piece of cardboard to slide the bars in the bag, otherwise they’re too sticky to get the bars in them. Such a pain in the butt! Great video by the way. Thanks for sharing your process!
Ok so as soon my both “machines “ came -today, i was ready to start shrink wrap my soaps together with you 🙂 but where it stopped was when i tried to seal the bag - the sealing machine would not seal it just kinda leave it open when I’d open the top. I did tried leave it closed for less time as well as longer, sometimes it would seal part of it but still left holes. Any tips ? I would appreciate any kind of help/advice ❤️
Does the package somehow become airtight? I need protection from ambient humidity. If this doesn't provide that level of protection, how can I tweak it accordingly?
No you wasn't going on, you was making a really great point which will help many people out... sticker vs paper labels and why ✅ I get it 😊 Great video!
A tip for u if u shrink the sides first u want get that poof on top and u want have to snip the corner it fight it. I pile like 10 soaps on top of each other i hit the sides then fan then out hit the back hit the front n done no fighting air pockets. Try it hun it will make ur wrapping life Alot easier and Alot quicker!! Beautiful soap's. N ppl r rude as hell u dont talk to much! U didn't jump on there computer screen or phone they clucked on ur shit lol ppl amaze me sometimes! But ur all good
Can you please do me a favor Send me a video on how you do it Also what type of polythene do you use for the wrapping Thank you in advance for your quick response +233209088540
A hair dryer has always worked for me. Got a $10 for shrink wrapping and been using it for years. And never bough a heat seal... I use a glue gun with out glue in it. Lol works everytime.
Hi ya can anyone help. My daughter wants to make soap for family at chrirtmas. Gona do melt n pour soap. Was thinking make it in the summer holidays. But will it keep??? And iv heard all melt n pours go squishy. Im not up making 100s bars Is there a way of shink wrapping with out equipment shown in video
allison groves if you're just making small batches you don't intend to sell you can wrap them tightly with seran wrap and use a bit of clear tape to secure the back! With melt and pour you want to wrap in the same or next day as it's a humectant and draws in moisture and will create a "dew" on your soaps. Also your soap can become squishy if you have too many additives like oils and such. You can add a small amount to your m&p but it's already a finished soap so you can't add to much to it. Hope this helps!
Idiots saying you talk too much are so annoying. It's an instructional video. Everything you said was necessary and beneficial to people wanting to shrink wrap soaps or other small products.
Thank You, Explained the best out of multiple videos today, just got my bags and gun today....thank you mentioning Gun Setting, I am doing music cds in fiberboard jackets,didn't want to catch them on fire, so thanks for this video!!
Stubbs beauty Stephanie Stubbs it depends on what kind you buy. You can buy bags that you can smell through, or you could snip a small corner with scissors to let the air out/be able to smell the scent.
Goretti Olivie do you have the heat high enough? I have my almost all the way to the red, and I hold it down for several seconds until the light blinks. When you take it out immediately rip off the extra and it should pull away just fine.
I can’t wait to get my business popping. man when I see people doing stuff like this it inspires me !!!
Yo same thing i love it!
Exactly what I was thinking.... starting my own business so inspiring 🙌

Thank you so much for sharing this video! The use of the heat sealer is great for round and oddly shaped soaps. Thanks for saving my sanity!
Can I also use seran wrap ?
would poking a pin hole on top with a pin work to let the air out and then put you label over the pin hole that way still sealed .
My two cent idea: by pricking the center of the plastic with a pin will provide an escape route for the air inside the bag.

Hi friend can you tell me how can make this small soap at home
They have biodegradable shrink wrap bags on amazon :)
Where do you get the stones for your soaps, if i may ask?
You can get a relatively cheap heat gun in the paint section of most larger hardware stores. Last I looked the generic brand was around $20.
What kind of plastic bags are you using? Polypropylene?
Where you buy that litlle packs for soap?
Any links for shrink wrap or sealer?
What are the bags called?
HI - doesn't the soap need to 'breathe?'
thanks!
No
Do I need to cure my goat milk melt and pour soap before I wrap them? Thank you!

Wonderful demo, I will like to know if the Shrink Wrap work with every polybag, thank you.

@@GodsChildBri "I just don't like disrespectful people." *moments after calling everyone idiots
@@johnnyfever1559 And she also said excuse her anger, which she already acknowledged. What's your problem?
@@richrosegold610 People who ask meaningless rhetorical questions when presented with salient points. Also, hypocrisy.
can u use a blow dryer if you dont have a gun?
bambi beach Yes
ty so much :)
bambi beach No. She said it doesn’t get hot enough, and I’ve tried before.
@@americaneffects3958 yes. Hair dryer won't be as efficient as heat gun.

Thank you. Nice video
Hi, thanks for your video. I have an Impulse sealer but mine does not cut the plastic. How do you do it? I am very disappointed with mine...
Goretti Olivie do you have the heat high enough? I have my almost all the way to the red, and I hold it down for several seconds until the light blinks. When you take it out immediately rip off the extra and it should pull away just fine.
Mothyr Grimm yes I do but it still does not work. I think it has to do with the model of my machine. Which one do you use?
I’m motivated gonna order this weekend
Thank you for this video! ❤❤❤❤

May got to invest n the glue drill what every you call nice one.
would save money by ursing a smaller bag
Joyce Carter the bags were only a couple pennies in difference and I also use them for other products. Just easier for me when I buy in bulk. :)
Joyce Carter do you have a problems with the soap melting?
Thank you for your informative video. 🙂
Just watched another video where petals bath boutique used a hair dryer just fine.
Much talking
Am sorry but you talk alot
Richard Bunner instructional videos do generally contain a good bit of talking. Lol
I don't like people that talk too much but I personally enjoyed this video.
I think so too😅😅
Talk way too much
It’s a tutorial... what did you expect?
Video is waaay too long.
Tooooo slow video
For easy process..u made heavy length videos u wasted all's presious time
