I'm currently under the weather and binge watching these videos! I can't stop. I currently do only cold process soap making and am inspired to start some melt and pour. Thanks :-)
What a beautiful job! Thanks for this tutorial! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Glad i watched this. I would never of thought about the upside down or making sure the RA was all over the heart, thank you
+darla sanderson Glad you liked it Darla :)
Your soap making is brilliant! As a real beginner I’m inspired by your work. I understand your decision to stop, but I certainly wish you could find a way back. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I wish I could to , one day :)
Beautiful soap you did a great job.
Red is my favorite color. These are fantastic!
Simple and beautiful. Turned out lovely.

Beautiful and clean. NICEEEE
I can't wait to try this one! Absolutely wonderful!
4 more small hearts in corner n u have a pack of cards it’s amazing as usual
Perfection!!
I have recently found your videos on soap making and I enjoy watching all of them, they are wonderful!
Thank you very much :)
Dean Wilson, I also found your fb page to follow. I am in the US and know that you are not able to ship here, but is there a video of the soap making from the fb profile pic? I really LOVE it!
The video was made a long time ago when I was running my retail shop. I don't think I ever posted them to my fb page.
Oh bummer, thank you. That bar in the pic would make a nice soap making video though. Just a thought.
So lovely!!! Brilliant design and technique. Love it!!!
Thanks Christine :)
Nicely done Dean! Bravo!
Great Job! They really look amazing!
Watching you cut loafs of soap is probably the most satisfying thing my OCD has ever seen.
Thank you :)
Me too.. Dean, u cut those yummy soaps so proficiently! You are such an inspiration to someone with ADHD/ADD because you explain every step of the way so easy to understand. Thankyou!
Beautiful
Super adorable!! Great job...love these loaves!! Tfs Have a nice day!! : )
Super adorable and cute.
Those turned out amazing!! Great job!!
Thank you very much I was just looking for how does it made.
Really nice. 🥰
wow, these are fantastic! I may have to make these. Just brilliant :-D
Hi Dean. I just found your videos and I love how you explain your process. I just started making soap, mostly CP but trying M&P, and I find your videos to be some of the most informative that I've seen. Plus, your soaps are so pretty!
+Kuri Thanks very much Kuri :)
Great work
Thanks for the 'heads up' how to NOT get the air pocket around the heart ! Very Cool Dean , Vic @ New Hope Soap*
Brilliant and inspiring, thanks for sharing!
Brilliantly Smart & Beautiful❤️❤️❤️
BTW... I enjoy an perfer Melt in Pours..... I dont have the proper ventalation yet to do CP HP yet... besides I really enjoy M/P and its immediate use( with in 24- 48hrs is my time. Siting back and enjoying the fruits of your Labor is Awesome ! And Made to order for others is a PLUS :) Thanks again
I enjoy that feature of M&P base too. :) More videos soon.
Lovely
Beautiful!
Super cute Dean. I love them! The mica really adds a richness. Lovely !
Oh dear! I just attempted this and realise how difficult it is and that I should never have attempted it at this stage of my soap making. It’s in the mould but I’m not hopeful that it will be a success at all. I weighed the soap plus some, but it is still about 2cm at least below the top of the mould
Let me know how it turns out :)
I love your tutorials! So clear and well explained. I'm having trouble finding the heart molds though
+Heidi Weigner Heidi, here is 2 links where you can buy the heart mold.

Perfect x
As always, they turn out the best. :-)
Wow beautiful
Magnificent!
you know to save money you can just by clear melt-n- pour & dye it w/titanium dioxide...looks the same as regular white m-n-p.....well thts what i've done & it definitely has helped...
nice, do you have a video showing how to used the heart shape mold, those soaps are beautiful.
+modelchickny If I do another hard video I will show the pouring and unmolding of the heart soap. :)
Thanks.
Can you purchase those types of molds...or do you make them?
Check out Dean’s Love Spell video where he shows the heart moulds clearly.

My favourite design 💗👏🌠💝
Dean - I am so happy I came across your videos! I just - like literally just started researching soap making and with my addictive personality; I am hooked! In my reading I saw where soaps take 4-6 weeks on average, to cure. But in your video I heard you say this batch will be in your shop the next day! How come?
CP = Cold Process is where you make your soap from oils and make it yourself. This takes 4-6 weeks to cure. I don't use this method. My soaps are M&P = Melt And Pour base. It's soap that has been pre-made but your able to remelt it and add dye and fragrance. Because of the way it's made, it's ready to use as soon as it's cold/solid.
PERFECT! This is what I will be doing mostly! Thanks DEAN!
Very nice
+rcottman02 Thank you. Once of my favs :)
The white came out great. Do you think the red bond line is more noticeable because of the darker color used where we don't notice as much on the white color?
The bonding line will also because visible if left long enough and it goes cold. I have done this with a number of different soaps and they all turn out the same, even white.
Wow
Que lindo 😔
Hey Dean ! I been watching TON's of your video's and you are a great teacher! I love the designs and Beautiful Soaps . I have question....1. do you have a video showing how to use additives like pure aloe, herbs etc. ? 2. Do you have a chart or guide avail for using the proper amounts of Oils, Poweders etc? Please get back soon and Thank You for making Nice clean , helpful short to the point Videos.. Your craft is Amazing !!
Hi, Thanks for your comments. I have not used pure aleo or herbs in my soaps as yet. I am not sure how to add them so I will research them first. I did add Calendula petals with a cold process soap I made - Lemon Zest. But nothing since. I will have to get back to you. :)
Hello sir. Pls tell me why do you mention the temperature of soaps while preparing them ? Does that hold any specific significance as a beginner who's trying to make a soap ?
If the base is too hot it can melt the embed. 130F is a good temp for the base I use. However other bases are different and might be a different temp. Testing is needed if your not sure.
Hello Dean, when cutting your soap can i please ask what each bar weighs? Your free hand cuts are perfect. Thank you for sharing your Tutorials
Thanks, I like to cut 1 inch bars. Each bar is about 100-115 grams.
You should make crystal clear with only glitter hearts with pink around
I will put it on my todo list. Sounds awesome.
Hi Dean.....awesome video...I have a question...if you melted 980 grams and initially poured 370 grams...how was the heart centered when you still had 610 grams left to pour on top of the heart?
So the 370 + 370 = 740 grams. - 980 = 240 grams goes around the heart.
Bottom 370
Place heart and pour around it which is 240
Top 370
Since you pour around the heart and the top at the same time it makes 740 grams.
Hi Dean, those are SO pretty! I've been watching soap making videos for a few months. I don't even remember what got me to soap making vids. One day I was watching animal rescue videos and one of the soap vids popped up.
Forgive me for the questions. Up until now, I've watched either cold or hot processing soap making which seems a little difficult for a new person wanting to start making soap and a little expensive. Adding in lye--wow, I don't think I've used lye since high school!
1--Is the melt & pour easier to used for newcomers?
2--Is this less expensive to start making?
3--All I saw was melting either the clear or white base and adding color & scent to it. Or did I miss something?
4--And finally, if I may ask this, what is the easiest way to sell these? We have flea markets here and I thought that might be good.
Thank you so much! Suzie
+Suzie Phillips Hi Suzie, I am scared of Lye myself so that is why I didn't go Cold Process, but it looks like fun, but takes a long time to get the final bar - 4-8 weeks.
1) Yes, for sure. If you want to try your hand at soap making, melt and pour is the best place to start. From there you can learn and grow and expand into hot process or cold process soaps.
2) For me 1kg of soap base is about $13 AUD ($9 USD), 20ml fragrance will be a few dollars and the same for dyes.
3) Yes, simply. Cut base up into small cubes, melt in boiler, add dye, add fragrance and pour into mold. 4-5 hours later you can pop it out and start using it.
4) Selling is the hardest part. It's more marketing then selling. My experience was a little easier because I had a retail shop but it's hard to sell online because they can't touch or smell your product. Flea markets are good to get your name out there. Might also try and take really nice photos and create an Etsy.com account too.
Hope it all goes well for you :)
+Dean Wilson (SentinelCandles) Thank you so much! I will start with the melt & pour! Love your videos!
Love your videos!! Do you have a tutorial for rimmed soap?
Thank you. I don't have a video on rimmed soap, but I would love to try one in the new year.
What is rimmed soap?
did you make your own template for your own soap tag if so what do you have to include in the description my daughter is thinking of getting into making melt and pour ive been watching your videos and have found them to be very informative and interesting better than some of the ones I've watched well done.
So everything to make this loaf is outlined in the video. I have done this loaf many times and this was the amount needed to get the heart dead center.
Love your videos and your soap! It looks like you are pouring from a metal pitcher. How are you melting your soap base? I use the microwave and therefore, do not use metal.
+Barbara Debnam Check out my equipment video.
th-cam.com/video/RDsLfpPKfyI/w-d-xo.html
+Dean Wilson (SentinelCandles) Thanks Dean for sharing your equipment video! I appreciate it very much!
Hello, nice working! Can you tell me, please, what is the good temperature to pour the soap layer over the soap baton and not to melt it down? Thank you!
Each base will be different but in general - anything under 130F degree will not melt the embeds.
Thank you very much and have a nice day!
Why that weighing scale is showing zero before pouring . Is it not measuring the weight of mold n box. Where can one get such a scale and what is it called. Th. :-)
I put the mold on the scale then zero it out. Hence why its at 0. You can buy these online at amazon.

Beautiful. How do you keep the red dye from bleeding into the white?
For this one it did bleed and made a pink bleed around the red heart. But if you use mica for the heart it shouldn't bleed.
I am going to try this failed experiment once again
how long did you wait for the first layer to set? What temp? before you added the heart.
about 10 minutes but it will depend on the base you use. A skin and firm but warm (not cold).
Looks amazing. How do you get rid of fingerprints on the surface of the soap?
Some rubbing alcohol will do the trick. Also wear gloves
@@DeanWilson Do spray it all over after its dry and out the mold?
Once you cut it, and you see finger prints you can spray it, but wipe it off.
@@DeanWilson Thanks
I tried the soap. It turned out nice but to cut the soap is very very difficult
Sorry to hear that
Dean how do you cut your soaps so precisely? Do you mark them prior to cutting? also how thick do you cut each one?
I cut lines into the top of the bar. Here is a video on it. th-cam.com/video/SSMjV9FWJ3o/w-d-xo.html
They soaps are 1 inch wide.
would you mind if I ask what are your best selling soaps?
Love these! I tried to make the white goats milk one and waited for the first pour to form a skin, then did everything you said but as soon as I carefully lowered the heart into the mould, it sunk right through the skin and sunk to the bottom, so then I thought, ok, I’ll put a pink heart in the top, so I waited this time for the skin to be able to support the heart, but after pouring the goats milk to the top of the mould, I saw pink colours rising to the surface. I think maybe my pour was too hot! What temp. Should the pour be?
It does sound like it was too hot. I pour under 130F degree so the embeds dont melt.
Dean Wilson thank you, I’ll try that.
hi, love your videos. I am curious. Can one add goats milk to clear soap base to make it goat milk m& p base???? Wat is your take on titanium dioxide ???
+Alex Bosire I'm not sure about that. My goats milk soap comes pre-made. You would need to check to see the volume to add. Adding too much might damage the soap base.
Dean Wilson I'm curious about your fragrance. How much of what did you use. Thanks.
they remind me of jammie dodgers!
If you add pressed flowers you don't need to spray them alcohol right ?
I have never added pressed flowers to my soaps. I could not answer that. sorry :(
Dean how much soap do you need to make the hearts? In grams would be great. Thanks
I think the mold holds about 130-140 grams
hi Dean,
I was wondering where you got that long heart mold.i would like to make a soap just like yours but I can't find the heart mold anywhere .where did you buy yours
I put a link in the description to both USA and Australia suppliers.
From where you got soap melting jar... they are so handy
My pouring pots? Here.

Hi Dean! Tried making this today but there is a visible line across the soap where I placed the heart. What did I do wrong? Left the bottom layer to set for too long ? Thanks
Yes, once it gets a skin it will create this line. I had this quite a few times.
Dead, I love your work! Can I ask how much red you put into to make your heart soap?
Oh, it was such a long time ago when I made it. Maybe 2 drops of liquid dye red for that clear base to make the heart. I think the heart was about 140 grams
@@DeanWilson thank you. Sorry for the typo. I did mean Dean, not dead. I’m trying the heart soap with love spell fragrance, but I’m sure I put too much mica in. Now the red is not bright but more dark like wine red. Oh dear! So much for my Mother’s Day gifts idea. I appreciate your replies after having stopped making soap so long ago.
No worries. To lighter a dark color up you might add a touch of white or in the case of of your red soap you could get away with a touch of pink to lighter then red up. But not 100% sure, its been a while since i soaped.
Hi, can you please tell me where did you buy the hart mold , love your vidios, thanks for sharing.
Australia - www.aussiesoapsupplies.com.au/flexible-embed-mould-heart.html
US - www.brambleberry.com
I made this soap but the red heart bled. What can I do in the future to prevent this?
When I used liquid dye in clear base around white soap base I found that it bleed but if I used mica it doesn't.
how do you make the hearts, do you have a special mould?
yes. there is a link in the description for the heart mold.
Am making melt and pour soap design as door gift . But it sweating how to prevent them from sweating
+Noorul Ayn Make sure once you cut them from the loaf or remove them from a mold that they are wrapped "air tight". That will stop the sweating.
I'm very interested in how you create the heart
There is a link in the description but here it is
www.aussiesoapsupplies.com.au/flexible-embed-mould-heart.html
That you Dean
Hi Dean, love your soaps
+Tania Banek Yes, I mark out 1 inch lines on the top of the loaf then cut straight down with a big knife. Check out this video.
th-cam.com/video/SSMjV9FWJ3o/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much!
Hey dean. This time the soap turned out better but its still impossible to cut it. I dont know why☹🤔
Maybe try a different base.
could you please post a video for making melt and pour soap using sea/bath salts?
Hi, I am sorry but I have not used sea/bath salts for my soaps.
Can you give it a try and let me know if that works? I have a lot of bath salts and was wondering if they can be used in melt and pour soaps! Btw I just live your videos..I have watched all of them 😁
I will put it on my todo list.
+Dean Wilson (SentinelCandles) thank u very much! 😀
I wanted to know what temperatures did u pour at?
If its not in the video, it should be under 130 F so it didnt melt the heart.
what did u use to make the heart mold?
There is a link to the USA and Australia suppliers in the video description.
Hi Dean,
For the heart embeds, approx how much soap does it take to fill the tube?
Ta 😊
The website says 135 grams
www.aussiesoapsupplies.com.au/flexible-embed-mould-heart.html
Dean-Where do you get the tube like embed forms?Having troulble locating them here in US.
+kelley Sciarrino The heart mold can be found here.
www.brambleberry.com/Mini-Heart-Silicone-Column-Mold-P5811.aspx
how did you make the heart-shaped soap inbeds?
Its a heart shape mold.
amzn.to/2W8pPCc
Hi there! Hope you're having a great day! I was wondering if you know where one would get a custom mold (like the heart).
+G Cooke I don't know of any place to get custom molds. Normally I make my own if I cant buy them.
how many total grams of goats milk did you use to fill the mold?
+Steve Chacon The loaf mold hold 1092 grams and the hear is about 112 grams. So the goats milk was about 980 grams.
Thanks, great work by the way.
they look awesome how much do you sell your bars of soap for?
I sell them for $5 AUD each
I'm up near Murwillumbah north of Lismore &Byron Bay & 25km to Nimbin. Does anyone sell your soaps up here? Are you into having someone sell up here? elora.xanon2014@gmail.com
I guess so :D
perfect!! would you mind telling me the dimensions of your mold? I would love to get one that size. thank you. .
elissa lewis I left a link where I purchased mine in the video description.
silicon mould inner dimension 245x56x70mm L x W x H
Thanks so much Dean!
where do you order your fragrances from?
I get them from www.eroma.com.au
Can i take a smaller mould and try this?
Yes, a small 100 gram cavity mould would work fine.
@@DeanWilson but how would the heart mould fit in the 100gm mould? Can share the steps how to do it?
Chop it up in 1 inch slices and put into the middle of the cavity.
@@DeanWilson Thanx a ton
@@DeanWilson and then i ll have to cut it so that the heart shows in the soap?
How to do that heart shape?? which u inserted middle
The heart is a soap mold, you can buy them on ebay. Check the video description for a link.
How did you get the heart shapes?
It's a silicone mold. There is another video where I should you how it's used.

While making melt and pour soap can i use food colour
Food colouring still stain the skin. I suggest only using skin friendly dye.
