Extra batter is a very good ideal. Thank you

I have been giving full size bars to the stores, and I will continue. I need to make packets like you suggested. Thanks so much!

My soap business is really growing, and I'm in several stores now. At the Famers Market on Saturdays, we give out free samples. I think this is why I'm selling so much soap. We also give our stores a sample bar where customers can pick up and smell. We give each potential store a bag of four...

Very nice!

Beautiful soap! I have never used rosemary & cedarwood together. I know what I will be making this weekend.

What do you say when people ask for free samples? This happens at least five times a week with friends and people from my work. I don't mean this ugly, but spend five dollars on a bar of soap and try it! Please tell me what I need to say. This is taking from my profit. Also give me...

Can you tell me what causes the partial gel? This has happened twice to my soap now.

This is my new Patchouli soap. Please let me know if you think it looks ok. I need some honest comments.

Is the raw silk better in soaps or liquid silk? Will the soap have a silly look?

Silicon Molds I had so much trouble getting soap out of molds when I first started. I ordered Brambleberry's 5 pound wooden mold that the bottom sides out. I also purchased the silicon liner. OMG solved all my soap problems. My soap comes out perfect every time. I also purchased extra...

Where does everyone buy their tussah silk? Can you really tell a difference in the soap? I wanted to try some, but I don't know how much to use.
