Carebear: There isn't a problem I prefer 128oz to 96oz. Yes, that might not make sense to you or others but that is just my personal preference. I don't think it's my place to encourage or discourage someone from doing something...unless it's harmful. I'm of the mindset that we make our...

:? Let me reiterate. I simply put out the information about the pre-blended oil combos. It's up to the individual whether or not they choose to buy it or not. "I can't speak for everyone else but I like getting my money's worth and the point I was trying to make is why pay the price of 8lb...

Carebear I simply put out the information about the pre-blended oil combos. It's up to the individual whether or not they choose to buy it or not. I not saying that the various companies claim that the 7lb is a gallon. I said that a lot of companies sell 7lb containers of oil instead...

Hi everyone: I'm new to the forum and soap making and at the present time I'm trying my hand at MP. Although I'm into MP at the present time, I eventually want to get into CP...later. Getting to the point...There is a company called Oils By Nature (see link below) that has five...

Hi: Remember my thread "Melt and Pour Dilemma...HELP!"??? Well, it seems that the reason my MP isn't melting like everyone elses MP soap is....wait for it...it's NOT MP soap. :oops: I thought the stuff I ordered was MP but I had actually ordered rebatched soap. :shock: The good news...

Pops1: Thank you for your response. The batch I'm referring to is my second batch/effort and I had a feeling that it wasn't as thin as it should be:?... on the other hand I just so happy to at least to have done it half right after ruining my first batch by adding water to it. :oops...

Hi: I have a question. When you melt your melt & pour soap should it be like a liquid or should it be thick? I ask because I was watching a video on youtube.com and the woman's melted MP soap was really thin like milk. However, when I melted my MP base it was still kind of thick and I...

Hi Everyone: I don't know if anyone else knows this but there is a website called Cosmetic Database that you can go to if you are unsure about a certain ingredients in your shampoo etc. to find out if they are harmful or not. I actually found it by accident. At the time I was searching...

Hi Carebear: I actually manage to evaporate some of the water in the microwave BUT I guess not all since the soap hasn't firmed up as well as the good batch I made. Still I have no intentions of throwing it away and I'm in the process of using that "not-as-firm" soap until my good batch...

Hello Fansis100: Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Thank you all for your advice and suggestions. :) I did redo the soap that I added the water to, it was just a little batch...thank God that I had sense not to muck up a bigger amount otherwise I would have even more to cry...

Hi everyone: I'm new here and I've been reading the various posts trying to figure out which mold to use for soaps. Some people prefer the wood while others prefer the silcon molds. I looked at the sites that some of you mentioned for the silicon molds and found them to be a bit...

Hi fasanis100: Thanks for answering I was about to give up as I hadn't gotten any replies the last time I looked. I can't afford don't want to throw away the soap! :cry: You said that I added too much water and I agree with that but can't I try to do it over by re-melting the soap and...

Hi: I just made some MP soap this past Sunday and I think I messed up. :( According to the directions I recieved, I was supposed to turn the oven to 180 degrees and unfortunately, my oven dial is kind of weird and I think I only had the oven at 150 degrees and that is why the MP soap...
