    Harder Bars?

    I can suggest a base that you will be really happy with :) It is from Wisteria Lane.com (an SFIC product), and is called Extra-Hard like French Milled base. ROCK hard, so you can add ton of oils and still not get it mushy. Only downside, it is horrible at layering, but for single base/color...

    What Breed of Pet do You have?

    Woah, I didn't know that was even possible :) Do you know the parents? Here is my baby: She is a 5 year old American Pit Bull Terrier, and my sunshine of a girl. She LOVES water and competes at Dock Jumping. We used to train in Flyball, but an hour drive to the training killed me...

    Getting Started

    I am with Tabitha: research. Just read everything MP related on the forum and archives, look at other people stores and their soaps. See if you can figure out how this could be done. Get your creativity flowing, figure out what makes good soap stand apart from regular soap. Tips, techniques...

    Lush and sweat question

    I don't know if it has to do with SLS or not, but maybe there is some kind of climate control going on inside of the stores? I have not had a soap sweat yet, but again, there is practically zero humidity where I live. Maybe they keep the store air dry on purpose?

    Clearly not Clear

    Totally OT :lol: If you print the embed on laser printer instead of bubblejet, it will not run. She is fully grown there, I adopted her when she was slightly over a year old. She is now 5 :) http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k181/ ... =001-1.jpg

    Clearly not Clear

    Thanks :) That's my baby. Yes, Michael's base ends up being $5 per pound... crazy. I sometimes see 10 pound containers of clear base for $40, and with coupon of half off it only ends up being $2 per pound. Not bad :) It is pretty clear, I use it with picture embeds.

    Clearly not Clear

    I have heard good things about Stephenson clear base. http://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/s ... -6_65.html Also, if you have Michaels in your area, their Life of the Party clear base is super clear. I think it is extremely overpriced, but I am always able to score 50% coupons online for...

    looking for these molds

    http://www.shop.dazzleflyz.com/images/1 ... 014150.jpg I see few places selling this soap, but I just can't find the molds for the life of me. Has anyone seen them anywhere?

    Why is it yellow help me make it clear :(

    Hi Kristie, what brand of MP is this? I use SFIC, and their clear is yellowish. I have used their Crystal Clear too, and it is much more transparent, but still has a slight yellowish cast over it. Adding a drop of ultramarine blue helped. Perhaps you can try that. It neutralizes the yellow.

    Extra Hard Base question

    Hi Naomi, Yes, this is an SFIC base :) But I bought low sweat like cold process base from bambleberry before, and this is totally different. This extra hard base is literally rock solid. It feels like those french milled soaps. The "like cold process" base is still pretty soft, this extra...
