I ended up ordering a couple. They are supposed to be here soon, and I am so excited! I will try to remember to post and let people know how they did for me. :)

I am so grateful to find your post referencing fragrance oils from DOOP. I was looking at some of them, but like you said, no testing notes for soap, and no reviews that mention soap. I am going to order some and see how they work out 😁

Yes, I have found that to be way faster when shrinking. I hardly touch the tops of the bars at all, to avoid holes, but I just wish the seams were prettier. Sometimes I heat the bottom of a product first to pull the seams downward, but nothing seems to save my stamp on the side of my soap. It...

I just received the kit to repair my wand. As soon as I can get it fixed, I will try it with some PVC shrink that I have. I hope the seams are prettier with that one. 😁

I came to this thread to see if there would be anything that could help me with some issues I am having with the NS system. Until a few months ago, I was using (and still do for some things) an Impulse sealer and shrink wrap bags. I purchased the NS system so I could wrap soap faster. I...

Thank you. I will check that out. I haven't heard of that before. I have come to the same conclusion about the goat milk lye solution. It is thicker from the beginning, and I need to choose designs that work better with a thicker batter. I believe most of the culprit has been my nose, which...

It has probably been the FOs. I am the worst for loving accelerating FOs and using them anyway. LOL Sometimes they smell so good, I am determined to make it work.

I have been using goat milk in almost all of my soap recently. I have used the goat milk lye solution method so that I can substitute all of the water for milk. I have definitely found that it makes a creamy lux bar that I am nuts about. I know that a lot of soap makers use water to dissolve the...

I use goat milk in all of my soaps as well. I love the way it feels on my skin. I have wondered about some people not liking it, and I may try the Coconut milk as well, but I am kind of like you. It is hard to please everyone, and I just feel like it would definitely take something away from my...

I have been making soap for a while, but lip balms....I have gotten very frustrated trying to make them, so I usually just do something else, and come back to them later. At this point, I am very frustrated. Maybe someone here can help? The main problem is that when I use the recommended amount...

I love your random dots, and I think they look great!!! I have more soap than I know what to do with as well, so I know exactly what you mean! LOL

Thank you :) And I think you have sent me a little boy disc for a certain project....it was so cool to see the advice coming from you . Made me smile.

Thank you so much for this advice! That is what I am dealing with in my dough, and I have dug and dug for an answer online about it. All of my soaps usually go through gel unless I stop it, so I will definitely make a new batch. These little spots are a nightmare to deal with.

Thank you for the responses. I didn’t think it was a very common issue. I haven’t found anything online about it. I have emailed the supplier. We will see what they say. I do hope it goes back, but with it being glitter, I don’t have high hopes of that. I am going to wait until I know it has...

Hi Arctic! I am a newbie as well. I don't have a big fancy space to make soap either. I just do it in my kitchen, and like a previous post said, the oven vent is just fine. I tuck my nose in my shirt for a minute and it is gone. It is really not that bad at all. Good luck with your soap!! I find...
