I’m loving the Lego mould 😁
The lego mold holder is awesome!💪🏻🥰
Thank you. Make sure you check out my other video on how I made it. :)
Very cool 😎 soap 🧼 on a rope 🎉
The Lego. This is everything
I have been binge watching your Melt and Pour videos and have learned more from you in the last few days than any of the many books I’ve read. Didn’t realise how creative you can be with Melt and Pour, you have fired up my interest in making soap again. You explain everything so clearly, lots of detail without being boring. BTW you have a great voice and love the accent 😉. Many thanks for taking the time to make these tutorials.
Thanks Chris :)
loving the mould made out of lego
Thank you. Its really helpfull when unmolding the soap
Mr Wilson you are King of soaps very nice ❤️
Thanks so much :)
So glad you kept the "eye"
I really like that soap purple my fav colour
Love the LEGO base
Your skills with M&P is astounding! It looks so amazing.
Thanks so much, glad you like it.
This soap turned out beautifully, but is no one going to mention how awesome his mold box is? HAHA. I have little ones and they have legos they don't play with anymore. I may have to put them to good use and save money on more boxes. Well done.
Thanks, there is a full video on my channel how I made the mold. :)
Omg the Lego mold♡♡♡♡
Those came out very nice. An added bonus for me is that it’s my favorite color and one of my favorite scents.
My favorite color too! 😍😍😍
😍😍THAT would make for a beautiful wood grain soap!!!
I really would, I agree, use different shades of brown.. lovely
That Lego box is such a smart idea. Great job. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! Thanks
Beautiful color of soap
You know what looks nice? tying a knot close to the soap then another knot at the top as you did.. COOL
That is awesome!! I loved the "eye" in the center. Cool.
Fantastic idea for making melt n pour soap good work sir
Thanks
I also made soaps n candles but this is something very unique technique it’s good n looking amazing will try this for sure thnks sir
beautiful soap love it.
Dean, these are beautiful! You are so creative and generous with your experiments. Thank you!
Hi Dean how are you? For you long life because on Saturday I made my MP swirls and told my family that I learned from Dean channel, 😃😀.
I loved the legos😄😂
You are an experimental guy on soap swirls and I love it.... keep posting beautiful techniques..
Thank you. :)
Agreeed!! INSANE@!@ Going to try this technique tonight:)
Nice. Dont have to worry about dropping the soap lol
A video on that will be awesome
Plus, if the rope is too long, the purchaser can always tie them closee! Impossible to make the loop longer, but you(as a purchaser) can always make 'em shorter! Thanks, fabulous experience to watch and learn from!🙃👏👏👏😘
Thanks for the tips!
Love the rope on the long piece of soap....looks very elegant.
You did a fabulous job, designing and creating the soap. You made the hole punch very easy. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great job on designing your soaps
Awesome swirls!!!! Love it!!!
Who the heck would dislike this video?! I love all your videos, thank you for sharing!
7 people from what I can see. Maybe cold process soap makers? or didnt like my editing.
Fantastic idea!
Love this Soap!😊
Looks good Dean! Great job! Good idea!
Gorgeous swirls! 🥰🥰🥰
Fantastic 😍 and amazing! Love them!!
First time watching your channel. I have to say I was shocked when you began talking! I expected a woman’s voice just because I’ve never seen a male soaper before. I’m so happy I found you! I love that your mold is made from legos! What a cool idea, I may have to try it! The soap looks lovely! Hope you have a great day!
Thanks for watching. Im glad you found my channel :)
The lego mold video is here, if you wish to watch it

Just perfect Mr. Perfection just fabulous I love it
Beautiful
They turned out awesome! I love those soap boxes too!
Thanks so much! 😊Thanks, it took a while to put together but still works and I love it.
Hi Dean, love the colors & design 🤗. Great job 👍🏻
the sides are so interesting. I would love to see this kind of pour in a taller mold to show off that wood grain effect even more!
I made one in a loaf mold. you can find it here

Beautiful soap!

They look great 👍
Excellent work!
It's so lovely..
That looks like an amethyst. It is gorgeous 💜
lovely thank you for sharing Dean!!!!
Love the lego soap box- great idea I hope I come across a yardsale where they are getting rid of legos!!!
Legos with soap all over them. Not sure they would sell. :)

Yay!!! I’m first!! Beautiful Job Dean!!!! Cool idea too! 😉
It'S beautiful!!! Thanks
Hey thanks
You're welcome!
You have so many brilliant idea, this works much better with cp soap but that you tried to recreate with melt and pour is hard work! Congrats💜💜💜💜
Thanks so much :)
Beautiful asusual 👍👌❤️
U are melt n pours bad ass! I wish I could cut like that. I stopped making melt n our 3 years ago and went only cold process because I can’t cut to save my life. I learned from you how to swirl melt n pour and I made beautiful swirls but then it came time to cut them no matter what I did I couldn’t cut them straight. At all not that they were a little off but the top would be an inch and the bottom 2 inches. And then I got the melt n pour cutter and the top was always significantly smaller then the bottom. I don’t know why I couldn’t do it. I did do single mound bars but there not coast effective to sell even though they were beautiful. I love glycerin soap’s for the face if u have dry skin I like glycerin at night n my CP facial soap for the morning. But I don’t know for some reason I can’t cut straight. It took me a long time to bevel the CP soap’s straight and every so often I mess up. I need them to be fully cured before I can bevel them or I’ll mess up. It will be totally off noticeably off. When my husband surprised me with a cutter he made me he named the cutter Save the Soap lol 😂 so I watch ur melt n pour completely captivated when u start cutting. Awesome 👏🏻
I am not that great at cutting soap other. The other day while packing an order I had to cut 2mm off the bottom of a soap because it didnt fit into a box. So I feel your pain.
Beautiful soap, thanks for sharing!! Love the layers and feeling inspired to try my first funnel pour MP project!! To avoid the box bulging outward from the rope, did you consider leaving it loose alongside the bar inside the box for the recipient to tie (also allows for their preferred length)?
Sooo I had a thought regarding the rope and the boxes. Instead of putting the hole in the center, could you maybe do a diagonal cut meaning from the top right corner the whole would be drilled at an angle to poke out the side and then the extra space you had on the side of the bar in the box would be were the rope would fit and there would be no bulge. 🤷🏻♀️ Lol I hope that made sense lol love love love your videos! 🙃
Yes, Maybe that Could work. The reason why I went from front to back was because over time using the soap the curd will start to push though the soap as it gets soft. If it was though from side to top then it might pull thought and the soap will fall to the floor. Im really not 100% it was a good design, but thats how it worked out. Customer loved it anyway :D
Hi Dean
As its a smallish batch why not make your own box its quite easy to figure out the dimensions and maybe have a taller box and the rope can fit on top of the soap instead of the side which can be seen through the aperture. Its a beautiful colour like like a nebula Nebula soap on a rope 😃 All the best 🌻
Thank you. This was a once off. Not sure I would make it a product for my soap business.
I make perfect round holes with a wine cork tube opener
Good idea.
What about if I’m the future, you put the hole in it and instead of attaching the rope, place the rope in the space on the side. Then you can box it up. I’m sure the customer won’t mind tying the rope because they’ll be getting a bit more soap and you’d have a nice boxed soap.
Yep, that could work as well.
The soap turned out lovely. I especially loved the one with the eye!! I was wondering if there's a specific reason you use this string? Wouldn't a thinner jute string be better? Might fit in the box with the soap.
Because its melt and pour base, it becomes soft after using, specially if its hanging, so thats why I used a thicker cord.
Also if you tried cutting them horizontally rather than vertically you'd get more dramatic swirls
I love how your funnel pour soaps come out, absolutely beautiful! I want to this but with orange, brown, and white for fall. Will this swirl technique work with the stephensons ultra clear soap base?
Thanks. This was with the suspending base. Not sure about the clear base, I dont think so. Suspending base is a lot thicker.
@@DeanWilson ill definitely have to get some of that base then!
Dean how do you stop melt an pour from being sticky? Nice swirl, that big one is awesome..
Some bases will be sticky. Some others will be solid but melt and pour by itself is a glycerine based soap so it will have a bit of stickiness. Also fragrances and other things can make it sticker too.
Love this, must give it a try. Your Titanium Oxide, do you buy pre mixed? thanks. Oh I love your Lego box!👍
Yes, it comes as a liquid for my melt and pour soaps.
Just wondering why you didnt place the rope in the soap while it cured? Be curious to know if theres a difference. Loved the video btw. Simple and easy to understand. Thank you 😊
I didnt know where the soaps were going to be cut. A little hard to do that with 12 strings.
Hi Dean,
I've been watching your videos from quite a time now. I'm new to soap making and your videos really helped. You're a great teacher, you explain everything very well.
I've been facing a problem from quite a time now, my layers keep breaking. I take care of the temperature, spraying alcohol before and after each, taking care that there's not much time gap between layers, but they still somehow break. I was wondering if you could help me with something i might be doing wrong? Or how can i fix the broken layer?
ThankYou
Love from INDIA!
Its a bit of hit and miss on that subject. I experience this too sometimes. I keep hearing if you score the soap (scratch) then it has something to grip into. Maybe give that a try.
@@DeanWilson Thankyou, I'll definitely try that.
Hay...
Loved it...
Hats off to u Precision.. 👍
Will u plz make me one thing Clear.. Why don't U use white base instead of using Titanium Di Oxide..???
I wanted to keep all the base as suspending base so the swirls keep their shape. I think with normal goats milk or clear base these swirls would have merged.
Hi Dean beautiful soap!
Loved how you used Legos as your mold casing, what a great use of Legos! Question: you score and cut your soap on a white table top surface- it must be very sturdy as I don’t see any cut marks! Can I ask what type of material it is?
Thanks for sharing as always. -Momo
Hi, thanks so much. The table was a stainless steel table 1.5m long, 90cm wide. I has the exact same size cut in HMR High Moisture Resistant White particle board so I could protect the metal surface. When it got damaged, I just turned the board over.
Huh! HMR will check my local Home Depot! Thank you!
I hope you don't mind me asking. I use melt and pour and I usually use shrink wrap to prevent sweating, but I had a customer ask if I could use something more eco friendly and no plastic. What eco friendly packaging could I use, as I want to prevent glycerin sweat? Thank you
I think someone told me about waterproof packaging once but I had to order 10,000 of them.
Personally I normally wrap my melt and pour soaps in a plastic bag 150mm x 100mm then seal it and put it into a box.
Love watching your video and creativity but tell me why is it you can't get the holes right? Lol. Did you plan on putting the three funnels in then pouring across all three somewhat simultaneously? Love,love what you do.
I thought it would be easy to find these funnels but I just couldn't get 2 more and the drill size fits the first funnel but not the new ones.
Is there a way to put the dowel into the soap after it slightly hardens (so it doesn't seep below?) in other words, put the dowel in while soap is hardening (your soap comes out so soft, mine does not... it has the bases I am using..ugh
Have you tried the funneling technique in a normal single loaf mold?
Yes, you can find it here.

Dean, do you need special rope for soap? Is it something I can buy from a Craft Store or is it sold where you buy soap supplies? I want to try this with cold process soap.
I used Cord : Semco Two Tone Macrame Cord. 50m
amzn.to/3jTSzrC
You could put the rope from the Top Corner through the side.. confused ❓❓❓
Place a hole about 1-2cm down on right side top of soap bout 1cm from side, now just match up the hole but by the side of the soap. That way it’ll look kinda like a elbow hole. Then you can put the cord down the side of the soap in the box.
I think the idea is not to have the rope rub up against your skin when using it. Also melt and pour soap base is soft and after hanging around in water and the weight of the soap, I fear it will rip though the base and the soap will fall to the floor and be a danger.
Hi there! Love your soaps. When i do my soaps ,once dry and after a few days,the colours just start to mix and join to each other .
And they look horrible. Any tip? Is it because i am using colour base dye and i should be using mica. No idea.. Im new... Thanks a lot!!!!
Some dyes can merge into each other. I have liquid dyes that do this. But mica colors dont do this.
@@DeanWilson thanks a lot!!!!
Curious why you didn’t use the whole slab and get six bars. They would have been beautiful wherever they were cut.
They were never meant to be sold, so it was more a test. But I do like the soap cut on all 4 sides. It gives a clean cut look.
Absolutely amazing!! It sure didn’t take you long to master that pour! 👏🏼👏🏼 I was wondering what kind of rope you are using? Do you know if I can get it in the US?? Thank you for the great video. I’m on video 26 on my channel. I haven’t gotten famous yet, but I’m working on it! 🤣😂
Thanks. The cord I used was Semco Two Tone Macrame Cord. 50m
I didnt find the exact one, but here is a link to them on amazon

Dean Wilson awesome, thank you. 😁
You can also buy this at Michaels, I use it to tie onto presents and also to hang ocean type decor.
So pretty!
Question, How much fragrance to use for 2 pounds of the goats milk melt n pour?
2 pounds is about 900 grams.
at 2% fragrance it would be 18 grams
9 grams of fragrance would be 1%
Dean melt and pour sweat...can we avoid sweating,?
Nope, most melt and pour base will sweat.
Hellow sir I've messaged u earlier & ur tips were very useful thanks for that I have a problem sir I'm not getting silicon moulds for bulk like not even 1 kg moulds only thing available is 100 gms per piece type mould plz help how can I make patters for them in c.p soap
Not sure how you would do that in small 100 gram molds. The reason the loafs (1kg) work so well is they are in between the swirls hence the pattern, But if its just sitting on the bottom or top of the 100 gram mold it might not show a good pattern.
Yup that's exactly my problem. Thnx for ur reply if u get any ideas in future plz do share sir
You could always make a place in the top for the rope to come out the top?
There might be a few ways to use it in the future. For me this was a once off.
Dean Wilson well you did a fabulous job as always :)
