Thanks I'll give them a call and see how I go :)

Please let me know what you think of them. I'll want to place an order for EO after the new year

Thanks I don't think I'll need an excuse anymore hahah I'm going to start to order a few more things in the new year. Some EO and natural colour. That looks nice. I added a litle oil to the tumeric and gave it a quick mix with a little milk frother then added it straight to the batter...

Do you mind sharing the supplier? Is it sea salt they are supplying?

Did you end up trying the EO escentialsofaustralia?

Yeah it's been really hot here to 34+ and very hunmid. I'm prepared for a long cure. I think I will make these in autum next time cooler and then they're ready for xmas. Yeah I found the recipe in one of the threads here I think it was TEG recipe. I think they faded ok I was hoping for just...

Sure Coconut Oil 80% Avacado Oil 15% Castor Oil 5% :)

I just checked on them and they seem ok. They actually don't feel as hot as the cp soap i made the other day. They're not that hard yet either. I'm going to leave them in them ovenight before unmolding

I've never made salt bar before these are my first so I just covered and hope for gel. I don't know if thats what they do on there own. i made some cp the other day that didn't gel to the edges so thats why I covered thois time

Ok put the parchment paper down also did a zap test today on both batches. No zap awesome! Time for salt bars ***rubs hands together****

Aww thanks jewles :) So I unmolded today and in hindsight maybe should have left it another day in the mold. You can see in one of the pics there are spots where the soap gathered while cutting. I'm using a two tier shoe rack for curing here are some pics. So now the long wait I...

Thanks for the vote of confidence I really appreciate it. It's encouranging when seasoned soapers chime in with posotive remarks :) They feel cooled down now so I'm wondering if I just let these batch's go as is without covering and make the next batches coverd and wraped in towles

So I made my first ever soap toady and I decided to do a cp soap. I made 2 batches left the soap unscented and stuck with a fairly basic recipe. I wanted to see one how they turn out and two how they perform before I start using EO/FO. I left both of them uncovered and sprayed some IP alcohol...
