I was just wondering if anyone has used candlesandsupplies.net for FO. Their prices are pretty good, and I like their selection. I make soap and am hoping this fragrance oil would suffice for CP soap. At the very least, I do plan to use their FO for candles. I'm just wondering if it's worth it...

Okay...so I made a little oopsie. I went ahead and bought some gorgeous pigment I couldn't resist, only to find out it isn't soluble into water or oil. Does anyone have any idea what I could dissolve it into? Would it be insoluble still, if I added it straight into my CP soap base?

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good place online to buy bulk containers. More specifically, I am looking for plastic jars, preferably white and 8oz. The cheapest place I could find was on bottlesetc.com, at about $1 per 8oz jar, which included shipping and tax. I haven't used this site...

So I made 4lbs of salt bars almost 20 hours ago and they haven't set up. They're the texture of pudding still! Any suggestions? I don't want to lose 4lbs of soap.

I got back from vacation a couple weeks ago from Disney World. While there I bought a Mickey head mold. I used melt and pour for these, since they're so small and I just didn't feel like playing around. I made "Soarin' Citrus" and the white is vanilla. My second batch was my usual cold...

After seeing everyone else's, I just had to give it a try. Didn't quite turn out, but I'm still satisfied with the turn out. I ruined the stripes with my impatience by putting my mold back at 0 degrees before letting my soap set a little. Wish I had some cotton candy fo.

Oh boy, here we go.. So I got some blue liquid dye and decided I was going to try my first hanger swirl with different shades of blue, and white. But as I poured in my blue dye and blended my mixture, the soap turned a pretty pinkish-red. I had assumed it would stay pink, and improvised my...

I checked brambleberry, and unfortunately, their shipping expenses drive up the price far higher than I'm willing to pay. I'm looking for micas or dioxides. What sites do you use?

Carrot & (not so spiced) Spice Soap Unfortunately, the spice scent is not noticeable. But at least the carrot idea worked out in my favor. I used 2lbs carrot soap made with carrot juice instead of water, and the other 2lbs spice, however, not spicy. At least my swirl turned out!

I was just wondering how much soap I could expect to sell at a craft fair in one day. There's an event coming up near me in April, and I was just wondering if I even have enough soap to sell. I know I dont have a lot, but i need to find a way to make some of my money back so i can continue my...

I have some bars from a batch-gone-wrong from when I first started soaping, and I noticed one of the embeds in the soap is pink. I was just wondering what natural, around-the-house ingredient might have colored my soap pink, because I can't remember what I used! :(

I recently bought a 2lb block of Aloe Vera MP base. This is my first time doing MP, and I was just wondering how much liquid dye I should use for a 2lb batch. It came with about an ounce of Blue Liquid Soap dye, from the Virginia Candle Supply. I'm going for more of a lavender color. Would this...

I was just wondering if I can put lye water in a container to use at a later time..? I am considering doing a How to: Soap Making presentation for my classmates as part of an informational presentation and I was just wondering if premixed lye water can be stored in a container for a few hours...

I used a peeler to peel spirals from a tan soap and added them to my yellow lemon soap for a neat swirl. It also contains cranberry chunks, which isn't too noticeable in my final photo. Now that I know how this technique turned out, I can't wait to try with other colors! :)

Sad, but proud :) Lots of trial and error. And money. WORTH IT! Cranberry Chunk made with recycled soap from an unfortunate batch Cinnamon Oatmeal Oatmeal
