Review of the Soap Making Fun Video Package

Review of the Soap Making Fun Video Package

If you have thought of making napkin ringsyour own soap but have no idea of how to go about it, you will

need instructions and a recipe.

There are many printed instructions available for making soap but they all rely on your

ability to read the directions and then visualize the various actions required.

What might be a better solution for most people is a product called Soap Making Fun which

consists of a lengthy "how to" video. yellow croaker

The Pros

This video shows step- by-step instructions for making soap using what is called the cold

method. The person making the decorationsdemonstration is soap making master Alex Whitehouse. The

directions that Alex gives are clear and easy to understand. The video is paced in such a

way that you have time to absorb each set of directions before Alex moves on to the next

step. Another advantage is that the video can be paused at any time and, if necessary,

backed up so that a previous step can be reviewed.

Since the video is downloaded to your computer, it is always there for future reference. It

has good production values and both the picture and sound quality are quite good.

The Cons

The video is quite large -- about 125 MB -- and does require some time to download. However,

it also comes in five segments to accommodate dial-up connections but the task of

downloading all these segments could be very time-consuming. It would also be helpful if the

product included some kind of printed supplement that could be referred to in the future

eliminating the need to go back and review the video.

The Details

The first part of the Soap Making Fun video consists of an explanation of the soap recipe

which in this case includes coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil and avocado oil, as well as

sweet almond oil.

Next, is a demonstration and explanation of the equipment required to make soap. This

section also includes safety information regarding the use of lye, which is one of soap's

most important ingredients but that is extremely caustic and must be handled carefully.

Alex then shows how to create the fats solution and then how to bring the lye solution and

the fats solution to the same temperature as this is critical in making soap. He also

demonstrates how to drizzle the lye solution into the oil solution and then safely mix the

two.

As Alex demonstrates soap making, he also gives many good tips, including:

" How to clean up after the soap making in a fraction of the normal time
" Where to purchase high-quality supplies, including the various oils, scents and colorants

used in soap making
" How to shorten the soap making process without sacrificing quality
" How to make various kinds of soaps, including liquid soap, herbal soap, organic soap and

goat soap

The next part of this video teaches you how to know when the mixture reaches "trace," how to

pour the mixture into molds and what to do with the soap making equipment when you've

finished.

My Bottom Line

I found this video to be very educational and easy to understand. The pacing of the video is

quite good and the instructions are easy to follow. The demonstrator, Alex Whitehouse,

clearly knows his subject and provides many helpful tips in addition to his step-by-step

instructions.

I believe that if you watch this video you will be able to make soap successfully which

opens a whole new world of opportunities for making your own creamy, luxurious, scented

soaps or for use in gift giving. The Soap Making Fun package comes with a no-risk, money-

back guarantee that lets you keep it for up to eight weeks and then return it for a complete

refund. Plus, it comes with some very nice bonuses.
