oooh what a great idea those are pretty.

I've heard of folks putting their wrapped molds in a warm oven that has been preheated to like 200 and then shut off. Maybe a heating pad? Oh another creative one I've heard of is to put them in the back window of a car, but it may still be a bit to cold for that to work. And yes non gelled...

Hi Everyone I was wondering if it's possible to put an image and a link in my signature line? I'm walking in the March for babies and I'd love to make my sig line my donation/sponsorship link. thanks it looks like this:

yes the temp is probably my problem with CP I rarely monitor it, probably because I am so used to HP thanks for the advice. Also I'd love to know about the pringles can, thanks. And I know what Trace looks like... it's just that I either get false trace or it goes from trace to the next...

has anyone tried contacting either the folks selling the wicks or the folks selling the candles? I figure the Wick suppliers would have to know what they are treated with... though if it's a trade secret you may have trouble getting it out of them. I would be very interested to know more...

Lots of questions.... I'm really interested in making a salt bar. I am really afraid of anything with sugar in it, as I like baths and fear the yeastie beastie will have a blast with a sugar soap. But the salt bar recipes that I've seen still have sugar, as well as bath bombs. Anyone know of...

Just thought I'd say Hi. I live about 40 miles west of Atlanta and I've been soaping for about the same amount of time :)

oh thanks for the help bunny I will try some of that advice :)

Natural Crinkle Smooth-ish I can't figure out which I like best, What do you think?

oh I wonder if this would work with Epsom or sea salt. I am weary of using sugar in the tub, but a salt bar sounds wonderful!!!

well I almost exclusively HP because I can never seem to do CP right. HP is really easy and hard to mess um. My guess is with the first batch you probably got HP soap. Does it bubble when you put some under water? HP is soap right away I've even taken some right out of the pot and into the...

Hi All, This isn't my first batch of soap but it's my first post here. Just an in the mold shot for now, I'm so impatient to unmold these I hope it's hard by tomorrow afternoon. I am afraid I might have over swirled 'cause the spoon I was using was a bit on the flimsy side, but oh well we...

Beautiful. What sort of charcoal do you use.

thanks Jburner: What kinda stuff are you interested in that we have in common? Starduster: Thanks. I used to write a lot more than I do now, but it's nice to know my blogs a decent read *grin*

thanks for the reply. I just thought maybe it was the sodium that might have the drying effect. I suppose I'll just have to experiment. Someone else said i should go purchase a new bottle of oil and compare the smells... I suppose that is what I will do. I know it's hard to explain smells...
