    Eliminating ash

    Wow! Loads of great suggestions. I use wooden molds too - so I think I will start with the aluminum foil first. Then if that doesn't work, I'll move on the beeswax. Many many thanks everyone!!!

    Eliminating ash

    When you cover your soap with plastic wrap, do you let it touch the surface of the soap? When I do that, it leaves imprints on the surface of the soap that I don't like. But that might just be something I have to live with - WAY better than ash!! :)

    Eliminating ash

    Hi all - I've only been making soap since December and LOVE it!!! However, on about 50% of my batches, I am still getting soda ash on the top. I liberally spray each batch with alcohol after pouring, and it doesn't happen every single time - only about 1/2 the time. What are some of your...

    Emu oil recipes

    Hi everyone - I have just returned from the states from Australia and brought back from Tea Tree EO and some Emu oil to try in my soap. I just made a batch of TTO and will see how it turns out. But does anyone have a good recipe for emu oil inclusion? Thanks! Heather

    Which soap cutter do you like best?

    Wow - that Tank does sure look nice :) But probably not good for a newbie like myself. I need my training wheels first. A question though......when you pull the wires through and make the cut, it seems like it would be best to remove the soap from the platform before pulling the wire arm...

    Which soap cutter do you like best?

    Thanks for all of the responses so far. The picture I saw was from a post a while back and I can't find it now. But I looked up the FCS ones and like how they appear. Do you all find that wires break often?

    Which soap cutter do you like best?

    Hi all - I only make CP and HP soap in a log molds. I am pretty new to this, and bought a wooden soap cutter, which is ok. But I am wondering what soap cutters you like best. I've been looking for one that I saw a picture of a while back, to cut logs......it had 8-9 wires on a handle that you...

    Packaging CP soap for storage

    Hi all - I was wondering if I could package my CP soap for temporary storage in the nice little Kraft boxes with a small window. It has been curing for 2-3 weeks already (depending on which soap it is). I am not yet ready to give it to friends, but I have my boxes already. Will it be ok in...
