I've recently been playing around with soy, using CB advanced wax. I'm using 6 oz travel-type tins and used a HTP 62 wick, as recommended by WSP for those containers. I poured at different temps, just to see how it worked out. Some at 130, some at 120 and some when the mixture turned a...

Anyone used it in CP? I ordered some yesterday b/c I was already placing an order. It does say that it's not a true as some other vanillas, but I'm wondering how it will blend. I want to do lavender vanilla, but don't want brown soap or to have to load up on TD to get it to be white. TD is...

Hi everyone! I'm glad to have found this forum. I've only been making soap for a couple of months but read about the science behind it and read forums for a long, long time before that. My main interests are CP soapmaking and body butters, lip balms, and fizzies. I'm hoping to build up a...
