Maple Street Candle company Review: I also agree with buyer beware. I emailed several times about majority of my order missing and the FO I received had leaked. I was unable to ever get it resolved and never received majority of my order. I added them on FB and messaged someone there and I...

Nobody gave me a rough percentage of shea to add to my recipe? Do you think 10% would be good? I don't know how much % I added last time because I didn't measure!

I think I waited too long as well. But I thought the cold from the fridge will slow down everything. And wanted to make sure it wasn't from the being whipped and air bubbles as a factor. 2 hours? wow! Some people keep their mold in 7 days lol I water discount so I usually cut in 24 hours...

About 3 weeks ago I "discovered" something that I am sure the whole world knows already. lol but I will share anyways. So I had some old ugly HP bars that was lovely soap but hideous to look at ... like if I troll had a baby :eek: So what I had done before since I am lazy, is that I roughly...

About 2 weeks ago I was all riled up about making my first whipped CP soap. I believe I used 80 hard oils and 20% soft. I made the soap around 2 or 3pm-- only a trial 500 gram batch. Then stuck it in the fridge overnight so that the heat created won't melt down the peaks. Then the next...

Also, any special pros abut using chicken fat?

I ordered something from Etsy 2 weeks ago and it’s still in the pre-shipping phase. Contacted the seller and didn’t hear back. Good prices but takes forever to ship ... as in weeks lol

And I’m thinking of buying new molds.... it’s a total addiction.... don’t catch my fever !

Because maybe my issue isn’t the tool used to cut by the time? Often times the Blade of my knife gets a layer of residue with each cut is that a sign that my soap is a tad sticky and I should wait longer or this is natural?

So I’m hearing that it can help with drag marks but not really...? Generally when is the ideal time to cut soap? Sooner rather than later once you get it out the mold (and it isn’t sticky) or if you delay so it gets harder then this will help the apearance of the face of the soap?

Actually $500 ..... 😅

Well enjoy your new endeavors! I spent $400 the last 2 weeks on my soap “hobby” so I hope you Have more self control than I have!

I always forget to attach things. Especially when I’m supposed to be sending something important to my boss lol

I don’t see the pics!! Is it just me or you forgot to attach? lol

Is most of the fat like above the kidney and within the abdomen? How much does a skunk weigh? I imagine them to be like the size of a cat lol the recipes I have today are definitely not the same I had before. There are always tweaks and modifications you come up with and you won’t even know...
