    Neat Way to Pour?

    My thoughts exactly. If I ever make soap again I am going to try it. I have poured over a thick dowel and it makes a similar design but this looks like fun.

    Neat Way to Pour?

    While this is not a soap video, it could be a fun way to pour in a square mold or even a loaf mold by moving the bottle.

    Transporting soap

    I stored and transported my soaps in these totes. I would get around 55-60 bars in the totes. Granted they were heavy and I usually took 4 totes with me but my hubby did go with me. FYI, I could carry them myself. I will note all my soaps were shrink-wrapped and labeled. I also used these totes...

    Oakmoss Blues

    I used to mix my Oakmoss with Lemongrass, or May Chang. Since Jojoba is essentially a wax I never thought Zany's method would work. I may have depended on her brand of Oakmoss, my Oakmoss was very resinous, although one time I purchased one brand that was more liquid. I never thought the...

    what are these spots?

    You mention you embrace the discoloration but I am curious why you would mix the vanilla fo with the lavender portion of your soap. Vanilla usually goes very dark unless you purchase a non-discoloring vanilla. What I always did with my discoloring fo's such as my Dragon's Blood I separated my...

    Bathroom tile/tub replacement issues

    We have this done in three bathrooms, but we have a person who does a wonderful job and I have been happy with it. In the house I am in, I had the tile all around the tub sprayed and the full shower done in the other bathroom. I like it better than the original tile and the grout is sealed. I...

    Hard oil help!

    In the first batch, I only added in BHT otherwise I made the batch per Cee's instructions. That is the batch that went dossy around the 8-month or so point. On the second try, I added in my EDTA/SG combination along with BHT and Sorbitol it did not acquire DOS but I still did not like the soap...

    Questions re Zany's No Slime Castille soap

    I agree there is no "perfect" soap. If you recall I hate that Recipe, it was still slimy and went dossy for me before I hit my 1 yr cure time I always used for 100% OO soap. That was using 0 superfat and even added BHT. So nope that recipe was Not for me. I definitely would not go over 1%...

    Where do I find these ingredients

    I see under the soap the header lists Key Ingredients. That tells me there are missing ingredients.

    I am trying to find out, but I think this is different she had the PRP treatment a couple of times when her platelets crashed. Before all the hospital stays I was going to talk to you about acquiring the machine and seeing if her PA could administer the treatments, who administered the...

    Hard oil help!

    I very seldom use soap on my face but when I do I use my 100% Almond Oil Soap of which I only have a few bars left. hint hint someone... :D :D The downside to 100% Almond Oil soap is the long cure time required before it is a decent bar of soap, 6-8 month cure time. You can try it at 4-5 months...

    I need to vent... disclaimer attached

    You deserve to rant Misschief. After so many years co-workers become family with all the hours spent together working and something like that is pure devastation. I cannot fathom what his family is going through and what you are going through. Talking about it certainly can help. Sadly we just...

    How to know if you've used too much sugar?

    In my opinion and actually not just my opinion, several years there was a test done with different additives to help lather and it was found Sorbitol increased lather the best which is why I changed from using sugar. I find sorbitol so much easier to use and it upped my lather in my low CO bars...

    Temu

    Does anyone buy molds at Temu? I just found this one and if I was still making soap I admit I would have to buy it. I will assume that some of their silicone molds are thin but they have quite a few soap molds available. https://tinyurl.com/4uvvrx8u https://tinyurl.com/2s4u3ndn

    Latest Update on Cheryl

    Thank you everyone for the prayers. They are doing another procedure to try and clear her lungs. They believe the surgical site is clear of infection, but that has been thought before and the good news is today's x-ray showed her patches are looking fantastic, and her sinus area looks clear, at...
