    Has anyone created soap that really smells like coffee?

    Do you mean used grounds or fresh coffee from the can. How much do you use for how large a soap batch?

    I love squirrels....

    A 22 and good aim, taters and dumplins with peas carrots etc.. stew next day! LOL You could bait a few live traps and sit up there near whtever opening you have to get access. Once they go in and trap snaps shut they will be there ready to remove. Use some good bait for them so they want to go...

    Has anyone created soap that really smells like coffee?

    I just had it in lined cardboard boxes, closed, then put in an unused oven. I think I had a towel wrapped around the boxes also, but not sure now. I got busy with other things and let the soap sit awhile. I also had sound rounds in food storage bowls I never took out. I looked now and the...

    Can I make CP lard/lye to melt and pour?

    Thanks. I have that book marked now so I hope not to lose it. I've been doing a ton of reading up, and that looks like the easiest way to make MP maybe. I've got a few things I can try, now if I just had the ingredients to try. LOL I've read some things about some MP's sweating, I'll have to...

    Can I make CP lard/lye to melt and pour?

    I'll look into the Melt N Pour more and see what I can find about making my own instead of buying it. I was wanting to do basically a Lard if it worked because that is how I plan to make most my soaps, for now at least. Been looking at allot of Mica recently and I like the looks a bit better...

    Can I make CP lard/lye to melt and pour?

    Part of what I was thinking about is also soaps to give away at various group gatherings I go to. Often I do not really know if I will be going or not till 1 or 2 weeks before. If I was making soaps to give away at the events each soap would be special made for that event and themed to it...

    A picture of ricing, volcanos, separating, overheating

    Well, this is interesting, some things I've never seen before, YET. LOL That overflowing or exploding Volcano got my attention as I been putting my soap into an oven I'm not using right now. I think after seeing that one I'll be putting a LARGE pan under my soaps. Not a mess I'd want to be...

    Has anyone created soap that really smells like coffee?

    Well I just checked my coffee! Not happy with the smaller ones! I used a double strength or better coffee instead of water for the lye solution, also added about 1cup I think it was of coffee grounds. 40oz lard batch. Small soaps don't seem to have any smell! Also I used a silicone caulking...

    Pricing Strategy

    I would agree to keep the same sizes/weights and different prices. Look at most any retail store and products. Especially food! All normal sized cans of Tuna USED to be 6.5oz, though the price varied by brand, now they ALL went to 5oz cans, and the price still varies by brand. They all use the...

    Can I make CP lard/lye to melt and pour?

    Mostly I am thinking now while I have time to make the base soap and let it cure ready to use, plain no color no scent bars. Later perhaps melt it down to color, scent, mold fancy etc... when I want to play but short on time. If cured and ready to use as a melt and pour maybe use it for gifts...

    BrambleBerry policies

    Thanks. I may order something later from Starville? I gave them a call and not too sure if I want the molds now or not that I was interested in. They are plastic molds, supposed to be good heavy plastic, but I don't really want plastic. Looking more I found some good molds in heavy plastic I...
