Hey there, check out my first video about cutting natural soap!!
I made a 7KG block of Ginger Spice Soap yesterday afternoon. The soap batter was still liquid and warm when I poured into the wooden mold. In the first 2 hours, the soap will go through 'gel-phase', where the soap temperature can go as high as 90 Celsius Degree. In the following 20 hours, the soap will gradually cool down and solidify. So after one day will be the perfect time for cutting, when the soap has completely solidified but not too firm yet.
Soap Cutting Equipment:
- Soap Slab Wire Cutter - to cut the big soap block into smaller block.
- Multi-bar Soap Cutter - to cut the smaller soap block into 100g individual bar.
- Weighing Scale - to determine if the individual soap bar is within the designated weight.
- Kitchen Knife - to cut sample soap.
- Curing Tray - to cure the soap after cutting.
