Wow! All great suggestions. I'm glad to hear about how hot my oven was. There is nothing special about my soaps. Nothing but oils, butter, FO, and lye water. What I've been doing since being banned from the oven has been putting my soap outside on the front porch since the temps are...

Happy New Year Soapers! Since reading about CPOP here, I have become a HUGE fan. I love this method. BUT.... My husband says that it stinks up HIS oven. He does all the cooking, so I guess it's his oven. I told him I couldn't smell anything, even though there was a slight odor. Is...

How much oatmeal do you add per PPO?

Does the rate matter since the shower steamer doesn't come in contact with the skin? I am planning on using the correct amount, but am just curious. I'm headed over to WSP to find those recipes! Thank YOU! I bought all of the bath bomb colors during their cyber Monday sale and am...

Whew! A bullet dodged! I went crazy at WSP last month and bought over $100 of FOs. I didn't even want to try to slide by with buying more supplies just yet. "Use what you have!" is my husband's mantra.

Every internet recipe for shower steamers uses an essential oil. My question is: Can you substitute the essential oil for a fragrance oil? I have so many fragrance oils I just love. Besides, essential oils are so much more expensive. I already have enough issues explaining this cost or that cost...

Ahhhh....Mediterranean....Thank you.

Hello Soapers! Ok, what is the difference between Olive Oil and Olive Pumace besides not being able to find Olive Pumace in any store and it's only available online? At least that's the case for me. In recipes that are offered by the soap supplies vendors, they almost always include...

This was so timely. I just love you guys! I've got 79 bars sitting in the car (making a delivery this evening) and it's like 20 degrees out. I'm sure each of those bars are frozen solid. I was hoping it would be ok. :)

goes to show you how old I am.... I didn't know that you couldn't get Mr. Bubble in powder. When did that happen???

Good Morning :) (or afternoon, evening - depending on where you are!) Since deciding to venture into making bath bombs, I have been doing my research, watching countless videos, reading everything, and joining bath bombs Facebook groups. I am so saturated with bath bomb information, I dream...

Thank everyone so much for your input. It looks like I'm going with the KD8000! Whew! Cheri

Hello Fellow Soapies I'm going back and forth on purchasing a new scale. The one I have now is a cheapy from Walmart and I really don't think it's that accurate. My husband (who thinks I've spent enough money on soap supplies) tested the scale and he says it's accurate. If I buy a new...

OMG! Fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing!

Hello! I'm full of questions today. I've watched You Tube videos (trying to learn) and love the big fancy tops with embeds. I'm not technically there yet, but want to get there one day. I've always wondered do they insulate these soaps for the 24 hours after making? I figure if they do...

Hello! I have a question regarding colorants. Is there a general rule of thumb of how much to use? When I've watched You Tube videos, it seems that people are using as much as it takes to get the color they desire. is this true for all - micas, lab liquids, and dioxides? I've also seen that...

I've had one cucumber soap batch partially gel and one other that didn't have any additional additives. I thought by CPOP, I could avoid the partial gel. Even though the big circle in my cucumber soap looks kind of cool.

That makes total sense! Thank you.

Hello Everyone! I am intrigued by CPOP. Can I use this method for all types of soap, including soaps with sugars, milks or food items such as avocado/cucumber? Thank you so much in advance!

I'm not planning on doing any demonstrations, I just want to emphasize the dangers of getting the order wrong. I am planning on presenting with a power point presentation, but I will not be mixing any lye. Thank you so much for all of your answers.
