    White lace look on back of soaps

    I've made some log mold soaps and other individual mold soaps but haven't noticed this happening before. What I've done. Melted 3 pounds of M&P in Presto pot. While melting I've sprayed alcohol a few times inside the pot to get rid of the bubbles on top. On my latest project I am ladling...

    91% Alcohol?

    All along I've been using regular alcohol for layers on M&P. Today I switched to 91% and my layered log has fallen apart when I sliced it. Is it the 91% alcohol that caused it?

    Arrow Root - love/hate relationship

    I've read that arrow root will help make M&P less tacky after it dries. I've tried it and like the feel it gives to the cut bar. However, I'm not happy how it makes the clear bars less shiny. I'm using a soft fluffy makeup brush and going over the bars very lightly. Anyone else have thoughts...

    Anyone know some good blogs?

    In another life (before I recently found soap making) I was in to rubber stamping and found 100's of blogs where I learned so much from. Are there some blogs out there for soap making that I can visit? I really enjoy blogging but haven't seemed to come across many that want to share...

    Hand Milling Soap ??

    I received as a gift a very nice book, Natural Soapmaking, by Marie Browning. Most of the information in the book is for hand milling. The way I understand the book is that the soap base is, "soap be white, unscented, and not a detergent. Unscented, hypo-allergenic soaps, such as baby soaps...

    Looking for a Mold

    I was on a soap makers site and saw a beautiful mold. Of course I didn't bookmark it and now I'm going nuts trying to find a source for the mold. It was a pink mold with maybe 6 bars. The bars are beveled. I remember the soap maker had made soaps with a thin layer of blue in between white...
