    Neat Way to Pour?

    My thoughts exactly. If I ever make soap again I am going to try it. I have poured over a thick dowel and it makes a similar design but this looks like fun.

    Neat Way to Pour?

    While this is not a soap video, it could be a fun way to pour in a square mold or even a loaf mold by moving the bottle.

    Transporting soap

    I stored and transported my soaps in these totes. I would get around 55-60 bars in the totes. Granted they were heavy and I usually took 4 totes with me but my hubby did go with me. FYI, I could carry them myself. I will note all my soaps were shrink-wrapped and labeled. I also used these totes...

    Oakmoss Blues

    I used to mix my Oakmoss with Lemongrass, or May Chang. Since Jojoba is essentially a wax I never thought Zany's method would work. I may have depended on her brand of Oakmoss, my Oakmoss was very resinous, although one time I purchased one brand that was more liquid. I never thought the...

    what are these spots?

    You mention you embrace the discoloration but I am curious why you would mix the vanilla fo with the lavender portion of your soap. Vanilla usually goes very dark unless you purchase a non-discoloring vanilla. What I always did with my discoloring fo's such as my Dragon's Blood I separated my...

    Bathroom tile/tub replacement issues

    We have this done in three bathrooms, but we have a person who does a wonderful job and I have been happy with it. In the house I am in, I had the tile all around the tub sprayed and the full shower done in the other bathroom. I like it better than the original tile and the grout is sealed. I...

    Hard oil help!

    In the first batch, I only added in BHT otherwise I made the batch per Cee's instructions. That is the batch that went dossy around the 8-month or so point. On the second try, I added in my EDTA/SG combination along with BHT and Sorbitol it did not acquire DOS but I still did not like the soap...

    Questions re Zany's No Slime Castille soap

    I agree there is no "perfect" soap. If you recall I hate that Recipe, it was still slimy and went dossy for me before I hit my 1 yr cure time I always used for 100% OO soap. That was using 0 superfat and even added BHT. So nope that recipe was Not for me. I definitely would not go over 1%...

    Where do I find these ingredients

    I see under the soap the header lists Key Ingredients. That tells me there are missing ingredients.

    I am trying to find out, but I think this is different she had the PRP treatment a couple of times when her platelets crashed. Before all the hospital stays I was going to talk to you about acquiring the machine and seeing if her PA could administer the treatments, who administered the...

    Hard oil help!

    I very seldom use soap on my face but when I do I use my 100% Almond Oil Soap of which I only have a few bars left. hint hint someone... :D :D The downside to 100% Almond Oil soap is the long cure time required before it is a decent bar of soap, 6-8 month cure time. You can try it at 4-5 months...

    I need to vent... disclaimer attached

    You deserve to rant Misschief. After so many years co-workers become family with all the hours spent together working and something like that is pure devastation. I cannot fathom what his family is going through and what you are going through. Talking about it certainly can help. Sadly we just...
