Building Your Perfect Soap Bar Design
We do not use power tools, CNC, or 3-D Printers to form your soap bar. Every process is a hand-crafted method just as your soap bar is hand-crafted.
The next step is to highly polish the soap bar to eliminate all scratches on the surface of the bar. This is done using 'wet sandpaper'. Any scratches left on the bar, will translate in the final product even to the silicone rubber mold. |
As we are building a precision soap bar -- the perfect soap bar -- the use of hand tools and templates are critical to check and re-check our measurements. Using power equipment may be easier and faster. There is a concern of creating hair-line cracks in the soap model caused by vibrations from the power tools.

Comment: The Weight And Dimensions Of Your Soap Bar
Not all soap recipes are same and therefore will weigh differently. As a policy, we do not ask about the details of your formula as it is your propriety information. But sometimes we need to look at the ingredients used in your formula. The ounce volume of the oils will weigh more than water volume. The water in the formula will evaporate when bringing the soap to the trace temperature. Also, other ingredients added to the formula such as an abrasive (seeds, flower petals, bark, or an embedded toy for kids, all add weight to the soap bar.
To arrive at the correct weight of your soap bar, we have design choices such as rounded edges, rounded corners, or engraving into the surface of the soap bar to lessen the volume or weight of the soap bar. In some cases, we may have to add volume or weight to the soap bar such as extra artwork, size of company name/logo on the surface and with raised thick or thin border.
