So delighted to find a new video from you! I would never guess that melt & pour could be swirled like this proving yet again that you are the Master of melt and pour soaping 👌❤️👏👏
Omg wow it’s so so beautiful just perfect, you are just incredible, I haven’t done anything close to that , well Mr.Perfection another fabulous creation, god bless you stay safe and well.
You continually amaze me with the M&P soap. It practically sits up and begs at your command. Personally, I would have cut the amount of red by 50 grams and the black by 50-100 grams (because it’s such a strong color) to have more of the white, but I really like how this turned out.
This is so cool. I wonder if the base I'm using is cheap or not a good base. You did all of that without reheating the soap. My base never last that long. I have to reheat often. What am I doing wrong?
I had to reheat one. Just 10 seconds. I put all 3 containers in the microwave. Also this is suspending base, its different to that of normal clear or white soap. Its a lot thicker.
Hi Dean, thank you for your very informative videos, it is appreciated! I was wondering in regards to melt and pour is there a curing time needed after making the soap? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hi Dean.. I'm a new subscriber and a beginner in soap making...I really loved ur videos. I'm quite confused about the temperatures to be maintained and the amount of additives to be used in each base and also about the types of base. It would be much helpful for beginners like me if u could do an introduction video on melt and pour soaps...
Hi, I wish I could but I have closed my soap business about 5 months ago. I would not be making any further soap videos. However I could suggest a course from udemy.com with melt and pour. From what I have read, they are very good with different bases etc.
@@DeanWilson thanks for replying...I had done a course on melt and pour but here in India they don't teach about designers soaps and about the different types of soap bases..
That came out really beautiful. I cannot cut my soap correctly. Your cutting skills is superb. How do you know it’s even and the same size when cutting?
Dean Wilson ok I’ll give that a try. I also tried a pot swirl with MP soap and it came out nice. I only did two colors. Next time I’ll try three just as you did. Thanks Dean your very informative
looks fab. I've heard of swirling soap base white and clear from soapy twist, specially designed for this, not sure what difference there is with supsending base.
I wonder if you can try a one pot wonder with melt and pour it’s usually for cold process. I wold like to see that. It would be interesting to see the results!
Dean Wilson 😑well I tried it this morning...the charcoal got too cold and clumped up...I was scared that it was going to overtake the other colors....I know the error of my ways...practice makes progress💪🏼
I know your not doing melt and pour videos anymore but I have a question. I making lady bugs soaps. What do you think about using edible ink for the dots. It’s edible so not toxic. It’s hard to make soap dots uniform with pipette before things harden. Thanks!
Which alcohol do you use to spray? Why use the alcohol?how many soap bars does 1kg of soap base produce ? Why do you check the temperature? Thank you in advance for replying ..
Rubbing alcohol is what you need, you can get it in all chemists. Rubbing alcohol makes the layers stick together (bond like glue) and also pops all the bubbles on the surface. For my 1kg, i get 9 bars. 100-110 grams each, plus some end bits as samples. The temperature is checked so so the soap is not too hot, if it is it will merge with the previous layer.
Start small, buy only what you need. Dont go buy every mica color. Ive talked to so many people that purchased 1000s of dollars worth of supplies then realised they dont like making soaps. Start basic and expand as you learn. Same with fragrances and molds. I knew a lady who had 100s of molds, i asked if she used them all, she said no. Only 3-5 of them. So be picky and not going for gimmick molds. Start with basics, dont just jump into swirling. Start with 1 color, then 2 colors then maybe a layer soap.
awesome blend!! I've been messing up my M&P by testing out natural coloring - the colors don't always look as good as mica but I want an all natural soap. charcoal always looks good.. it's the green/yellow that turn out bad lol do you add any other oils to your blend? I mix in a little extra almond oil and vitamin E
How long does a full loaf of Melt and pour soap take to fully set up. This looks really good the colours work really well in this soap great job of the In the pot swirl. Maybe you could try a wall pour with M&P.
Yes, but you need to pour slowly and at low temp so the base your pouring does not merge with the other colors. From my experience, there is about a 30 second window to get it all into the mold at the right temp.
Beautiful. Loving watching a soap vid with an aussie voice
Thank you :) lots more coming soon.
Very cool, Dean. I am loving the Fallopian tube design in this one...
Yes, I sure didn't want to say that on camera. Buy yes. It does look like it.. lol
Lol!! I was just calling it a T swirl. This is hilarious!
Hi yes I saw that but I didn’t dare to mention it , increíble how fabulous it looks.
?!?😳💔🤗🤗
Once I read your comment, I could not un-see it. 😆
“I really have no idea how this is going to turn out, this could be a total disaster”
Yes, it seems to be my goto line lately. Glad you like it :)
You're the reason I started soaping. Really enjoy your channel
Wow, thank you!
Wish you would come back. 😊
Me too but its not the right time for me. Hopefully in the future some time :)
So glad your back with melt and pour soap videos.
So delighted to find a new video from you! I would never guess that melt & pour could be swirled like this proving yet again that you are the Master of melt and pour soaping 👌❤️👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Again, the master of MP soap. Thanks for sharing. I will try this😀
Love this . I don’t make a lot of soap but now you make me want to try this with Melt and pour .
That turned out fantastic! I only make cold process but now you got me wanting to experiment with melt and pour!
Very beautiful Dean, thanks so much for sharing your experiences, and trying this out! You inspire me each single time :)
God bless ....prompt reply ...thank you ! You are a saviour in these tough times of COVID n lockdowns watching is all the therapy I need .✌️
Your welcome. Enjoy :)
That was insane. Nail biting. Beautiful! Time saving!!
Beautiful and his voice is so therapeutic . I am definitely going to try this.
Thank you :)
The soap would smell so good, you've very inspiring, keep up the excellent work :)
Omg wow it’s so so beautiful just perfect, you are just incredible, I haven’t done anything close to that , well Mr.Perfection another fabulous creation, god bless you stay safe and well.
Swirls came out really nice. Like the color combination. Congrats!
This color combo is my fav!!
love your sense of adventure
Thanks Wendy.
So interesting to watch. I was on the edge of my seat with that one. I’d love to try that.
Love the swirl and colors.
It looks like marble, quite beautiful! The wire cutter created such a smooth surface. Niice...
Yes, but I fear if I used it too much the wire would break. Its really not suited for melt and pour cutting.
@@DeanWilson No worries there! I know better than to use wire because I'd probably accidentally cut myself. One has to know oneself! 🙃
That is so pretty. I love in the pot swirls but never thought about trying with melt and pour. Thanks for the video.
As always it’s a beautiful masterpiece.... I think I will try this with black, blue, purple etc and make a galaxy bar.
Good idea :)
Whoa another Australian Dean Wilson. Hey Dean, I'm Dean from Perth
That turned out really pretty !!
Love the colors💖
Really good swirls. I like it. I love watching you create soaps, thanks!
Looks fantastic love the swirl
Hi Dean, it turned out beautifully!!! Love it.... I will definitely try that. Your videos are awesome 👍👍🤗
Thank you! Cheers!

Very pretty.
I definitely want to try that, looks so good almost reminds me of galaxy soap.

Great job, thr swirl came out really well!

Great video. Thanks 🙏🏾
Beautiful! Deanie Wilson from US
Pretty cool !
Thanks Wendy
It's Beautiful and like it
Awesome! The effects remind me of an abstract painting. I love your work. Just starting to learn how to do this. Thanks for such amazing inspiration!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have been learning but never have the guts to try. Wish me luck
good luck. your do fine.
I like it, very cool.
I battled with the lighting in your studio today. But very cool.
Turned out great, might want to try different shades pink or purple as you want to use your fragrance. I really enjoy your videos, thank you
Those actually looks really cool. And I like how the bottom middle one looks like an "R".
I like just the stripes on the top
Thanks Susann :)
You continually amaze me with the M&P soap. It practically sits up and begs at your command. Personally, I would have cut the amount of red by 50 grams and the black by 50-100 grams (because it’s such a strong color) to have more of the white, but I really like how this turned out.
Thanks Kathy. I think your right.
💜💜💜 looks awesome and one of my favourite fragrances wish we had smellavision

Beautiful ♥️
They worked out really well 👍
Beautiful ❤️
Wow, Dean. That is awesome! Thank you for your experiment! No doubt you will perfect it soon!
Wonderful! Did anyone else see "The Scream" design in the swirls in the last couple of pieces of soap?
I saw what looked like women's ovaries! 😂
Wow !!! Amazing
Thanks a lot 😊
❤ very beautiful
Dean this is really Amazing 👌👌👏👏
Thank you so much 😀
Well done Dean 👏🏽
Making this for our 4th of July sales! So excited! Thank you!
Hi dean ...another great video ,could you tell me how much does that mild use in GMs ...love from India
I use 1090 grams for this mold
Hi Dean, thank you for your very informative videos, it is appreciated! I was wondering in regards to melt and pour is there a curing time needed after making the soap? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Thank you. Melt and pour is ready to use once it's cold. Normally I leave for 12 hours to let it set solid.
@@DeanWilson Thank you.
Great job turned out very nice. Where did you get your soap cutter.
Thanks. I got it here
www.etsy.com/au/shop/GOODSPEEDshop
Great job as usual. Might you consider turning the mold 180 degrees halfway thru the pour.
Beautiful 👍🏼💜

@@DeanWilson thanks for replying...I had done a course on melt and pour but here in India they don't teach about designers soaps and about the different types of soap bases..
I was going to make a udemy course for melt and pour with different designs but I ran out of time and base. Maybe in the future.
@@DeanWilson Oh that would be wonderful if u do so...
Lindo Parabéns amigo
Muito obrigado.
That came out really beautiful. I cannot cut my soap correctly. Your cutting skills is superb. How do you know it’s even and the same size when cutting?
Thanks. I make score marks on top of the soap 1 inch apart so all I have to do is cut down the soap slowly.
Dean Wilson ok I’ll give that a try. I also tried a pot swirl with MP soap and it came out nice. I only did two colors. Next time I’ll try three just as you did. Thanks Dean your very informative
looks fab. I've heard of swirling soap base white and clear from soapy twist, specially designed for this, not sure what difference there is with supsending base.
It's cool that you're using cp techniques to try in m&p! I look forward to seeing more from ya. Hugz, Tree
Thanks so much!
I wonder if you can try a one pot wonder with melt and pour it’s usually for cold process. I wold like to see that. It would be interesting to see the results!
I honestly think you can. Might be worth a try but for now im mostly making CP soaps.
So it is possible 👀 looks great!!! I’m gonna try this today👍🏼
My best tip could be pour slow and on an angel down the side of the mold so no bubbles or splashes.
Dean Wilson will do, I have a smaller square “test” mold, I was going to do it from the corner and see how that worked out, thank you 🙏🏼
Dean Wilson 😑well I tried it this morning...the charcoal got too cold and clumped up...I was scared that it was going to overtake the other colors....I know the error of my ways...practice makes progress💪🏼
You could half the amount of black soap.
Dean Wilson I halved the white🤦🏽♀️ I tagged it on Instagram...I like it tho😎 thank you again...trying the Pringle’s can next😏
👍❤️ asusual simply superb 👏👌
Love it! 😍
Neat! The colors remind me of Cruella DeVill 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
Amazing!❤️👌👏👏👏
You are amazing! How do you get your soaps so shiny? Do you add something? Love your soaps.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks, I dont add anything extra. Its just the soap base, fragrance and mica.
@@DeanWilson Thank you. As a complete beginner you are helping me enormously
Iris
I think if you make white & pink equal amounts & the activated charcoal lesser amount, it would make a different look.
Yes, I agree. It was too much of each color, it should have been mostly white with a splash of colors.
I know your not doing melt and pour videos anymore but I have a question. I making lady bugs soaps. What do you think about using edible ink for the dots. It’s edible so not toxic. It’s hard to make soap dots uniform with pipette before things harden. Thanks!
You can drop soap drops onto a baking paper sheet, let them dry. Not sure about edible inks. never used them.
Great idea. Thanks!
Hello.can you please guid me .
My melt and pour soaps don't lather much.
Suggestions please 🙏
I can only suggest trying another melt and pour base. You can't add any oils to melt and pour because the saponification process has already happened.
Which alcohol do you use to spray? Why use the alcohol?how many soap bars does 1kg of soap base produce ? Why do you check the temperature? Thank you in advance for replying ..
Rubbing alcohol is what you need, you can get it in all chemists. Rubbing alcohol makes the layers stick together (bond like glue) and also pops all the bubbles on the surface. For my 1kg, i get 9 bars. 100-110 grams each, plus some end bits as samples.
The temperature is checked so so the soap is not too hot, if it is it will merge with the previous layer.
Thank you so much,i am venturing into soap making,what advice would you give to a beginner?

Thanks for watching. I dont add any oils to my melt and pour base. 100% from the supplier except fragrance and mica.
How long does a full loaf of Melt and pour soap take to fully set up.
This looks really good the colours work really well in this soap great job of the In the pot swirl.
Maybe you could try a wall pour with M&P.
I try and leave the 1kg loaf for at least 8-12 hours. Yes a wall pour MIGHT work ( lol ). But it will have to be renuked a few times i expect.
Would you think it would be possible to do this without a suspension base soap?
Yes, but you need to pour slowly and at low temp so the base your pouring does not merge with the other colors. From my experience, there is about a 30 second window to get it all into the mold at the right temp.
Not a big fan of making melt and pour, but your soap is beautiful!
I gasped when your cutter pinged.😅.
Yes, I felt if I kept using the wire cutter it was going to break.
Thank you for your video. Why when I used glycerine my soap look like frozen ice?
Which brand do you buy?
@@DeanWilson it say. Soap expressions and Diamond clear soap block.
I haven't heard of that base before. If you can get your hands on some, try Stephenson.
@@DeanWilson ok, thanks
@@DeanWilson ok, thanks. Where did you buy it?
Oh my gosh Dean! I was only thinking yesterday if this was possible :) thankyou for the video xo
I love this! Dean, did you try the the small piece? I'm wondering if the activated charcoal affects the lather.
No effect at all. Its smooth and creamy on the skin.
@@DeanWilson thank you!
Absolutely amazing Dean. Great job!.. I actually find that the Stephenson soap base does harden quite quick. Not sure if it's just me though :)
Yes, there is a small window between fluid and solid. Its all about timing :)
Wow. 😘
