    Caterpillar soap cutting station

    Yes I love my caterpillar too! I've had mine for almost a year now. The only comment I have to add is that yes, it does have anti-slip pads.

    Caterpillar soap cutting station

    I bought mine almost a year ago and it *is* impressive still!! I really love it. The *only* bad thing I have to say about it, is that when cutting a slab into bars, it can be hard to get them perfectly equal because you can't set it on *any* increment - it has to be in 1/8th inches, which...

    Basic Soap

    Me too. I use Bob's Old Red Mill Oat Flour. I prefer the smooth creaminess to the abrasive action of regular oats and the expense of colloidal oats in soap. ;) Huh I hadn't thought of that. I've ground my own in the past, but lately I've just used WSP's colloidal oatmeal. I wonder which would...

    Beeswax Flop in CP Soap

    Just FYI when I use the heat transfer method, I always melt my soy wax first before adding. It's too high of a melt point to melt with everything else - I found out the hard way. So next time you can try melting the beeswax first. I *love* the heat transfer method! Even with having to do the...

    Best Watermelon FO for cp soap?

    I'm planning to do my first watermelon soap for my summer line. Can anyone tell me from experience what companies make the best one? I'd rather not have to deal with any vanilla, although I don't mind using vanilla stabilizer if it's worth it for an amazing scent. I'm not sure if I prefer a...
