Gem Soaps project by Mayku

Prepare the template for soap making by cutting a shape from wood or using a potato. Take a Mayku Cast Sheet from the pack and remove the protective film from the top. The film can be recycled in household recycling. Place the sheet into the FormBox and start heating the plastic. Position the template at the center of the vacuum plate. As the plastic heats up, watch for ripples at the edges of the sheet and a droop in the middle. Now form the template with the Mayku Cast Sheet. Allow the mold to cool before carefully popping out the template. Melt small amounts of white or clear glycerol soap in the microwave inside a heatproof container. Add a few drops of soap dye and scents for various colors and fragrances, then stir well. Let the mixture cool slightly until a skin forms on the soap, so it doesn't melt your mold. Pour the melted soap into the mold to just below the brim, tapping gently to remove any air bubbles. Experiment with layering and mixing different colors and transparencies to create beautiful gem-like soaps. Allow the soap to set for 3-4 hours at room temperature. Pop the soap out of the mold by applying firm pressure to the top of the form. Wipe down the soap with a wet sponge for a high gloss finish. Your beautiful soaps are now ready to be given as gifts or enjoyed personally!
