    Suppliers in Europe

    Thanks for the links, I can see price wise the one suggested in previous posts are still quite convenient for us. Italian one you can find this one: I am using Manske lately and the ratio quality-price is very good :) Hope it helps.

    Would it be possible for you to put some links to the companies you mentioned? I tried googling them and I got very interesting websites that did not bring me to suppliers of raw materials, thanks :D:D

    What magical thing is this :D?

    That day I had to stop the melting since I had to be a witness to a friend to get a new online ID. Everything got melted once, then I left it there and came back 40 minutes later and melted everything over 54 degrees Celsius. I guess this could have caused this. I will try one more time this...

    What magical thing is this :D?

    Thanks for the input people. I was not aware of what they were and enjoy the other thread. The round soap was poured into Pringles Tubes and I am not sure if this is what it caused that.

    What magical thing is this :D?

    Hello people, Long time not doing soap and being here. Hope everyone is doing well :) :) I have seen a lot of development and it will take me weeks to slowly get up to speed with the forum and everything else :eek: Two days ago I made some soap and when I cut it, today, I noticed this strange...

    Not sure how to fix this hickup

    Thanks for the nice words about how the soap look :) :) I think you are right, they are more stearic spots than air bubbles. I will cut my next batch with a knife and see how it comes :) :) This weekend we will make some more soap and will for sure bring it to a higher degree to check out if it...

    Not sure how to fix this hickup

    Hello people, I am wondering what happened exactly to the soap I made. I am trying to understand what went wrong and what to avoid for next batches. I tried googling it but not sure what exactly to look for or use as for wording :( :( I found lye pockets, but I am not 100% sure this is the...

    Suppliers in Europe

    We bought quite a lot of stuff from them: Ethically Sourced Natural Oils and Ingredients | Naissance. Absolutely reliable and good service. We ordered around 1200 euro of material. I am looking for a new EU provider since they are based in the UK and now it will become harder to import things...

    Natural fixtators for lye soap

    I like this idea, but how should I do this. Is only blending the EO with this ingredients and adding at the end would be enough? For example, I know that Bentonite is a powder, how will this affect the final product?

    Using PVC as a mold....having a few issues with it

    I think I realized that what I wrote could have been misinterpreted. I meant on the bottom not on the top :) Oh ok :) We pour the soap and wait for it to become hard. After approx a week, we put it in the freezer for around 30mins and then try to take it out. We do wait for it to become firm...

    Using PVC as a mold....having a few issues with it

    What are you using to close the pipe? The pipe I found here in Denmark comes also with a cap (this is why it has the bell/flare). We bought this one because according to our calculations it can do both 500gr and 1kg. We remembered how to calculate the volume of a cylinder and chose this one...

    Using PVC as a mold....having a few issues with it

    We are keeping our soap inside the PVC for a week. The bump is the bottom part, we push from the top towards the bump yes :) I cannot find freezer paper where I live (Italy+Denmark), I know a lot of people are using it and it looks amazing. As plastic, what do you mean exactly? Thanks again...
