    MICE! Grrr

    Set the traps along the walls perpendicular to the wall with the bait end nearest the wall. We use peanut butter as they have to lick it rather than steal it. If you are using cheese, the gooey cheese is best. Little buggers will steal it otherwise. Happy trapping.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    1 lb mold

    Bb 10" I've been using a BB 10" mold. It's designed to be a log mold but I've been making 1 pound test batches and just pouring a layer in the bottom. Then I cut 3-4 bars out like a slab type mold. It's been working great for me and I already had it.

    Tea & Toast

    It's HP, the "top" is away from you. I plan to use crafter's choice 1701 mold for my final product. This is a test batch that I made in my BB 10" log mold. I cut three big, squarish bars. In my final product I plan to stamp the "bottom" and wrap with a band so my label covers the stamp...

    What size is your bar?

    no problem with cutting I have a miter and have no issues with cutting. My bars are just a bit bigger than the sleeves from BB. I found some sleeves at WSP that fit nicely and the bands from MMS would also fit. I was not aware of MMS.
