I'm sorry you see me that way and this certainly feels like an attack. It is not how I view the world. I do however feel it would help other customers make better decisions on their purchases.

Wanted to add be careful if you order form amazon, a search for freezer paper also will pull up and include butcher paper, which is not the same thing at all, it's basically just paper.

I can understand your pov but as a customer I detest buying fault products and then having to take extra steps to correct them. Also this seller doesn't seem to put the care into their product as a business person should. I don't think it's any unexpected mishap that they are curing on metal...

Freezer paper is thicker and better but parchment works, just not wax paper. I can't find any freezer paper locally so when I want to spend $40-$60 I am going to order form amazon. My mom also wanted goat milk soap and I did make her some but I found I like coconut milk way better.

I bought 4oz of this from VA Candle Supply early on when I started soaping back in Nov. It was reasonably cheap just to have the one thing sent. My daughter loves this scent. It sticks well, it keeps the batter super fluid even to where I think it reverses trace. However I think it also has...

Just make sure to bang the mold down good next time you have a batter that thick.

Yep they are curing them on metal racks. I don't know what kind of place you bought it from but if able to leave a written review on a site, I would.

It can take a week or so for the soap to fully discolor. when I make soaps which discolor to brown I like watching the shades darkening daily.

kind of looks like it was cured on a metal rack.

I think some fragrances stick after using and some don't. I know lavender in my liquid soap sticks and I can smell it long after I've used it. Orange patchouli from NS sticks well too. Other than that soap is a rinse off product and you might be better off making a scented body oil, or body...

I've never left a soap in the freezer long enough to freeze it. Only long enough for a quick cool because I thought it was on its way to overheat. It was probably 30 mins, then I put in the fridge. I would let it sit for several hours before trying to cut it to ensure its completely thawed in...

My neighbor gets omaha steaks delivered, he gave me the styrofoam insulation cooler they come in. Heavy duty compared to what the sell in grocery stores in summer. I found it creates a humid environment and while soap does keep heat and gel, it also lends to a wetter soap. I prefer keeping it in...

Could just pour it through a regular mesh strainer too. Plus side is the mesh will filter out more grit. I think I have about 5lbs of bacon grease in a container in the fridge. I just keep adding to it. I thought about making soap with it, but I wouldn't want the bacon smell. I have boiled it...

I cut the second one this morning since it was cooled down. Feels a bit wet, not zapping. I do have more translucent but color is not there. I used 30% lye concentration, the first was 36% iirc, the recipe is in my soaping area and I am upstairs in my room. Also seems the cocoa butter left...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some help in achieving a somewhat translucent, reddish brown soap, sans mica. Similar in color to what soaping 101 got with honey when she did the 3 different sugars. I added honey but I did not get that color. I have more of a light beige/tan. I used half a...
