They didn't explain it well, but the screw and soap trick is an old school joinery hack... It's not to hold the screw in place, but rubbing soft soap onto the screw helps to lubricate the screw so it goes into the wood easier. Especially useful for those longer screws or for timber that's very prone to splitting... ☺️
We also use it in the fashion world on zippers for the same reason! Always keep a bar of soap in your sewing kit! It will save your skin (sometimes literally) more times than you can count!
Here to say this. My grandfather always use the bit of soft soap at the bottom of the soap dish to lubricate screws. Never used a whole dry bar though.
@@KassMcCormack My grandmother was a seamstress and kept soap for threading her machines. Helped the thread smooth out and didn't leave a sticky mess like the thread wax did.
THANK YOU!! I have been saying the same thing every time I see them do that they use so much molding stuff that it’s unnecessary and they are throwing their money away, is it just us? Are we cheap? I don’t care it’s wasteful. Lol
the soap under the nails trick is actually something archaeologists do sometimes on excavations, to keep dirt from under the nails but also to prevent eventual contamination that may interfere with carbon dating. I've done it myself a number of times in college 😊
My skin has issues with bar soaps, but I did similar whilst on the month long digs at university with the hemp hand cream which Body Shop sell. The dirt just couldn't stick to the thin layer of the cream on my hands and it was way better than having uncomfortable lumps of soap under my nails. I'm autistic and that would be a sensory nightmare for me. I just applied it in the morning before starting work for the day and it survived until the end of the day and meant that when we went on our trip to the supermarket to pick up supplies (we were in tents near to the excavation itself) I at least didn't look quite so dirty. The others didn't do the soap trick or anything else and had such awfully stained hands and nails which wouldn't scrub clean and couldn't quite understand how mine looked pristine.
ya, though from the video their use seemed to be less about keeping the totilet bowl clean and more for scaring the dude that made the stink, in which case it doens't need to stay put through flushing.
@@nicolelavigne1700 hadn’t thought of that 🤔 if that was the case, plastic spider on seat, put lid down, wait… 😱😂🤣😂 1min prank. There’s a hack for the hack! You’re welcome 5 minute crafts!
Hot glue, duh. If I’ve learned anything from life hack channels is that hot glue is the solution to everything. Your marriage is falling apart, you’ve already tried counseling but nothing works? Hot glue your marriage back together!! You fell and knocked some teeth out? Hot glue them back in your gums!! I don’t know what the question is, but hot glue is always the answer.
I googled soap sandal instead of soap standle, and came across fancy Bergdorf shoes that had a bar of soap as the heel. Obviously that’s an ‘every day wear’ closet item.
These debunking videos (especially where you show what actually happens or explain why it won’t work) are some of my favorites, because I wonder how many people are discouraged by their projects failing when really the problem is lying content farms
Soap is often used to lubricate the tracks of zippers so I imagine it would also help lubricate the threads of a screw and help it go in easier which could be another reason to stabilize it with a bar of soap.
The soap hack on the glasses DOES work, but you have to make sure to polish it enough that it doesn't obstruct your vision. It does essentially the same thing that anti-fog sprays do. It ALSO works on your windshield and bathroom mirror to keep them from fogging up.
Please for the love of your glasses, be very careful with coating them with soap! Some soaps ( also liquid soaps, window cleaners and the likes) may contain ammonia and/or phosphates (or other chemicals, like the fragnance or whatever it is in strong hydrating soaps), what could ruin the various protective coatings on your glasses. It's not like it'll guarantee to ruin it, since it depends on the glasses and the kind of soap you using, but if you doesn't want to risk your expensive glasses, just buy some proper anti-fog wipes/sprays and cleaners.
@@bookfish I said soap, not detergent bars, or liquid soaps which are ALSO detergent based. But you're correct in the warning. I happen to be allergic to detergents, so I only buy SOAP based products (usually Castile soaps). I hadn't thought about all those chemical additives (like fragrance and antibacterials) since I have allergies to many of them, so I avoid them. I ALSO wear glass lenses, which are much less problematic than plastic (though they're getting harder to come by). But you don't leave the lenses smeared with soap anyway, you polish away the soap. If done properly, there's no more residue left on the lenses than there is on your skin after a shower. Infact, since detergent bars leave no residue at ALL, the method probably wouldn't even WORK with a detergent based bar. And yes it DOES have to be a bar, not liquid.
Liquid and detergents both work fine. I've done it on windshields with baby shampoo in the past, learned it as a trick from a snorkel instructor in Hawaii when I was a teen, but I've never considered my eye glasses since it would get in the frames (eww) edit: typos
I've tried it in the past and the glasses get dirty more often, which is a headache because trying to clean my glasses while blind is the worst part of having glasses already
I'd love to see you try the kinetic sand mold!! I'll also say that my grandmother always SWORE by the soap under fingernails for gardening. when I saw that hack I thought of her right away!
The soap isn't ONLY to STABILIZE the screw, it's ALSO to lubricate it and make it go into the wood easier. That's a trick I learned in carpentry class 35 years ago.
Would love to see you try some of these! As a side note, please nobody try making a mold of your entire face without a professional. People have suffocated trying to make their own face casts because there's a very specific way to do it where 1) you can still breathe 2) you won't get mold maker stuck in your eyebrows or eyelashes
Or burnt! there was a girl lost most of her hands trying to do a plaster cast... basically cooked it to death. Most folks don't realize large lumps of plaster can get to 140F (60C) and you can burn delicate skin right off at 120 F (which is why if you have old folks or babies in your house you never set the water heater over 125) and prolonged, encased contact at 115 F (45C) can cause major damage.
@@mwater_moon2865 Water has to be heated hotter than 60C if you want to be sure that you're not going to catch legionnaire's disease. Particularly important if you have elderly who are most at risk of getting really ill/dead from it. Instead a mixer tap, or just allowing the water to cool before the person uses it is a better option. If the water is being stored in a tank, it HAS to be heated at least to 60C, preferably 65C to be sure the tank doesn't just become a breeding ground. The range the bacteria grow best at is 25 and 45C (77 and 113F), but unless its above 60C it doesn't get killed.
Will never get tired of your soap hack reactions (especially to body part soaps...). Would love a follow-up testing some of the ideas, particularly different moulding materials.
The casting material you use for body parts is alginate! It's much cheaper than silicone And sets much faster It's made from seaweed However it doesn't last long and releases moisturure So normally you cast plaster in it then make a longer lasting mold in silicone
I just wanted to comment the same thing. Using it to make a giant foot-shaped soap is kind of a waste though when they could have made a Halloween prop or something like that XD
That's what dentists use to cast teeth, right? I remember my dentist used something similar of what appears in the video when I got my braces, but didn't know the name. Thank you!
They have ear molds for chocolate online, but they're made out of plastic and wouldn't be usable for melt and pour soap. I'm sure if there is enough demand, a supplier will get right on it!
Love love your videos!! I work in construction & i think the soap hack with the screw is also to lubricate the screw making it easier to go into the wood. Some people use wd40 to achieve the same thing. 😊
The 'soap as antifog' trick is one I've seen used in paintballing, to stop the inside of the protective masks from fogging up. However, that was liquid soap, not a solid bar.
My mom used a bar of soap to fill in her fingernails when working outside and I have used it most of my life. it works well. So long as you don't have too long of fingernails.
You also don't want to use soap on your glasses because sometimes it can take the film off your glasses, like the anti scratch. I'd love to see some of these tested out though!!
I've never had an anti scratch "coating" for my glasses, that's just part of the plastic itself. Maybe you're thinking anti glare? I don't have that either, costs too much. But I have used soap (albet a liquid one) on my windows and swimming goggles before to keep them from fogging. It does actually work great, a damn sight better than the anti fog sprays and cheaper to boot.... Doubt I'd want to use it on my eye glasses though because it'd get into the frames.
It seems really interesting! Like metal casters use sand for their molds.. I wonder if the kinetic sand would add a texture to the surface of the final soap! Gotta experiment, Katie!
I would definitely like to see if that kinetic sand hack works (I say as someone who's kids have lost interest in their kinetic sand 😀). Merry Christmas!
The soap on glasses should work actually. As a swimmer, I put liquid foaming soap on the inside of my goggles to keep them from fogging. Soap, spread it around with my fingers, quick rinse
@@asmrtpop2676 I was taught use baby shampoo (no more tears) for goggles back in '96, and remembered the soap hack when my car's A/C went out on a long road trip and the windshield started fogging to the point of danger. Stopped and picked up a small bottle of dawn at a convenience store, smeared a bit on a napkin and spread it thin as I could get it. Bingo, worked a charm, made it home safe!
This little series of reviewing hacks is how I found Katie and got inspired to make melt and pour soaps in the first place. Finally made my first four batches of M&P last week!

Off the cuff, the ear soap could be a Van Gogh themed soap...I almost bought a pair of Van Gogh earrings from an art museum, one was an ear the other was an outline of his self portrait. There was also a set of the girl with the pearl earring that I almost bought...I ended up getting something completely different but really wanna go back for those earrings 😂
If it ever does think of it as her helping you be even better than you already are. It would be awesome to get advice as a soap maker from someone as successful as her.
Katie, I love watching you make soap! But I also love watching you try different projects and hacks, so count me in for all of that content, girl! You make everything fun 😀
Katie, may I say.....I'm always impressed by your wall of micas! Every time I watch, my eyes go directly to all the beautiful, color coordinated micas! I wish mine looked that awesome all the time. I have to be great full to my husband though....he built me a wall of cubbies to keep mine in and I must say they never fall out as he built a rail in front so none ever accidentally fall on the floor. However, I don't get that beautiful wall of color either, lol!
The soap helps the screw go into the wood a lot easier, especially if there isn't any hole for the screw. My woodwork teacher taught that 30yrs ago and I still use it now. All you need to do is rub the screw thread onto the soap, its a lot easier than using a bar of soap to 'prop' the screw up
The soap under the nails is also an old mechanics hack. My shop teacher always had a few bars of cheap soap for that reason. Feels kinda weird but works good
@Royalty Soaps - The soap helps drive the screw into the wood, it wasn't for stability - it helps drive the screw into the wood, the soap lubricates the screw's threads allowing it to drive into the wood easier.
Sorry you’re not feeling well 😢 thank you for the wonderful videos to enjoy over Christmas period Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family ❤
Using soap as a defogger actually works, but it does take a bit to polish the soap out smooth enough to be totally clear. The defogging paste that you can (or used to be able to) buy is just a very soft soap.
Hi Mark, I just made a batch of soap but used a tin can (I know, not recommended given the fumes) but now that the soaps have hardened do you think I should throw them out? Are they now unsafe to use?
@@Aestheticaye That is one you would have to ask an expert, I am just a novice who likes to tinker around. Royalty, Cat And Raven, or Brambleberry should be able to field that question. Sorry.
The kinetic sand mold looks super interesting! I’d think you’d have to wash it of after, taking some soap with it, but not much. FYI - If your curious like me, that holder she mentioned is called SoapStandle, not soap sandal, like I miss-heard.
Try the kinetic sand one! And a waffle soap would be great, with the appropriate mold PLEASE tell us where to find (and spell) soap dandle! :D Hope you stay well!
I love your channel so much. It is so fun. I can tell you are happy with changing it up a little bit and I'm happy too. I'm excited to see more crafts on your channel. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and yours and all the followers.
Yes Katie I would love to see you try the kinetic sand one, the one that look like a lotion bottle please try and let us know if some of that sand stayed in the soap.
Said it before and I'll say it again; I'd LOVE a series of you testing soap hacks, giving alternative methods, and maybe creating your own, actually functional hacks.
Having seen someone use sand and kinetic sand for pewter molding, I have no doubts it would work for soap! So yes, I would love to see you do that for some fun trinket-like soaps (lego soap blocks anyone?)

The soap under the nails is also an old mechanics hack. My shop teacher always had a few bars of cheap soap for that reason. Feels kinda weird but works good
Yes, please do the Kinetic sand soap. And, I'm a gardener & the soap-under-the-fingernails hack works great, I've done this for years. 🙂
The soap under the nails is an old gardening hack. Back when the closest thing we had to TikTok was "Hints from Heloise" I remember reading it there.
@Royalty Soaps - The soap helps drive the screw into the wood, it wasn't for stability - it helps drive the screw into the wood, the soap lubricates the screw's threads allowing it to drive into the wood easier.
Glad I read the comments - came here to say exactly the same.
Sorry you’re not feeling well 😢 thank you for the wonderful videos to enjoy over Christmas period
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family ❤
I’m reading the comments to see what’s wrong with her. She seems medicated…I’ll finish the video…
Using soap as a defogger actually works, but it does take a bit to polish the soap out smooth enough to be totally clear. The defogging paste that you can (or used to be able to) buy is just a very soft soap.
Hi Mark, I just made a batch of soap but used a tin can (I know, not recommended given the fumes) but now that the soaps have hardened do you think I should throw them out? Are they now unsafe to use?
@@Aestheticaye That is one you would have to ask an expert, I am just a novice who likes to tinker around. Royalty, Cat And Raven, or Brambleberry should be able to field that question. Sorry.
I would definitely love to see you try some of these hacks!
The kinetic sand mold looks super interesting! I’d think you’d have to wash it of after, taking some soap with it, but not much.
FYI - If your curious like me, that holder she mentioned is called SoapStandle, not soap sandal, like I miss-heard.
YES KATIE I want to see you try these hacks
Yes please! Love to see you try some of these hacks.
I love watching you do soap hacks
I’d definitely watch you try that kenetic sand soap mold
Hope you're feeling well now! Love your content. ❤️❤️
I’d love to see you try some of the soap hacks!! 👏👏
Definitely would love a video trying out these hacks!
Okay... so... I know you're under the weather... but you look AMAZING in this video! Gurl! Absolutely stunning!
Yes!!! Please test these out! I was hoping for that today. Would love to see it!
Ahhhh what a present you are making a video about soap hacks 😭✨ yeehaw!
Im always so disappointed when these videos end! I could watch these constantly x
Try the kinetic sand one! And a waffle soap would be great, with the appropriate mold PLEASE tell us where to find (and spell) soap dandle! :D Hope you stay well!
I think it should be soap handle, but I haven't checked with the interwebs to see if I am right
@@lisaroper421 YEP! Now I can find them, thanks! I was so confused ;)
Seeing you TRY if things work is more enjoyable than just watching your reaction. Things might surprise you.
Definitely interested in you testing some of these hacks
Try it out! Try it out!!!
Also, please do more reactions like that please
I hope you feel better soon Katie 🌻
When I saw this pop up into my homepage I literally went "yeeeesssss!!!"
I love your channel so much. It is so fun. I can tell you are happy with changing it up a little bit and I'm happy too. I'm excited to see more crafts on your channel. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and yours and all the followers.
Whenever i see a channel like 5 min hacks up on my recommended i say i don't want it recommended, yet i like to see people pull apart the videos.
I hope you’re better Katie. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.
Yes Katie I would love to see you try the kinetic sand one, the one that look like a lotion bottle please try and let us know if some of that sand stayed in the soap.
Pls try the hack with hot gluing several soaps together for a back scrub. 😂 That one had me howling.
I always wanna see you test soap hacks! They’re so strange
Here for it, Katie!! Also, I love your shirt!
Seeing you test the hacks would be awesome
I think a lot of these creators have forgotten what a hack is 😂
Please try the kinetic sand one, or any others you want to try!
Please please please remake some of these soaps. I've been wanting you to make them for so long and I would love to watch it
Said it before and I'll say it again; I'd LOVE a series of you testing soap hacks, giving alternative methods, and maybe creating your own, actually functional hacks.
I would love to see you testing those hacks !
Having seen someone use sand and kinetic sand for pewter molding, I have no doubts it would work for soap! So yes, I would love to see you do that for some fun trinket-like soaps (lego soap blocks anyone?)
ANNNND we're starting strong with the Van Gogh soap! love this series lol
