Teach Soap

Is that cutting it too close for curing? I have an opportunity to attend/sell at a Women in Business show...all types of folks from artists, jewelers, etc...I don't think there's any soap makers! If I made soap this coming weekend, it would be just about 4 weeks. I do have some inventory, but I'd like to have a kapow type inventory with spring scents...

Is there enough time??? Ya think? Is there?

Absolutely!!! You have 5 weeks! But you have to make them all this week so you'll have time to package up!! Get busy, have a good time--- and don't forget my #1 selling scent, Black Raspberry Vanilla!

If you can make CPOP and discount your water that would help. Hopefully you don't have any FO's that accelerate trace. Good luck!

Yes, there is time!

Step 1 - this week, work like a crazed monkey to make all the soap and get it sliced and curing.
Step 2 - take a couple of weeks to decide on other products, packaging, sip tea, and imagine wild sales success.
Step 3 - during the fourth week, work like a crazed monkey wrapping all the soap and making and wrapping all the other products
Step 4 - Fifth week, showtime! Have a small anxiety attack, recover, then SELL like a crazed monkey.

You can do it!

LOL Magic_hands I want you on my team when it's my turn

I also use 25% water and I also cpop. I have nice hard bars within 2-3 weeks. That gives me plenty of time to wrap and label everything. I am also getting ready for a show the first weekend in May so I understand your pain!

^^^I thought of you today while I was shrink wrapping 60-ish bars. Crazed monkey. Heh.

OK...I admit to being a crazed monkey, too. But, I love getting ready for craft shows!

YAY Shell!

I was just in the "soap closet" counting what I have in inventory...I could get away with not soaping like a crazed monkey, but I think I will do some honey almond oatmeal, then 2 more 5# batches...and see where that takes us. Maybe 3 more...I'm low on the green tea as well...who knew folks would be gaga over green tea?:D
