I agree with Judymoody. It does depend on the particular EO or FO. I think to FOs tend to be more affected by heat than EOs (the ones I use anyway). I like to check the Scent Review Board before I try a new FO. For something really complex, I make small batches and prevent jell so the...

I think it would be pretty hard to cut a fully cured loaf of soap.

I haven't used them, but it looks like you would need a wooden frame for that first mold you like to. I've tried the inexpensive molds and finally bought a Woodfields mold. The only inexpensive molds I like are from WSP.

I think your lather will improve. :) I use 1 oz of EO per pound of oils, mints and patch much less. I only do CP.

Your recipe looks good to me. You have plenty of "lather oils" in there. I would not increase them at all. Fragrance would depend on if you did HP or CP, so I can't answer that one for you now. You probably just need more cure for the soap to be really nice. I find my bars are very...

With all due respect to your "Soap Makers Workshop" and to those who like to rebatch and can do it well, I have not often seen a rebatch be superior to a well made batch of CP soap. (I have no experience with HP and have never used it so will not comment on it.) Personally, I hate...

I would think the tight, enclosed space of the pringles can could also contribute to over heating. There is just nowhere for the heat to escape to. Do you have a log or slab mold you could try with that FO? *edited for spelling

I would use full water instead of discounting for hot or quick moving fragrances. That along with the cooler temps might help. I've had a few that have made me want to hang up my stick blender, too. LOL

I make a lot of beer soap. Your beer is ready. Soap away! :) Personally, I don't boil my beer before using it to make soap. I just pour out what I need, give it a stir till if foams up and then let it sit on the counter for a few hours. I give it a stir every once in a while. I put it...

Glad I could help. I hope you can find a box in the size you need. They will send you a free sample if you ask them. :) Marcia

Hi Krissy, This is M. Snyder Specialty Soaps. I didn't realize you were asking about the clear boxes in your email. I use several different packages, with my newest being the ones with the ribbon and seal. This is the one I thought you were asking about based on the search analytics on my...
