Thanks guys. Kchaystack,that is extremely helpful, as where i am it looks easier to get a plastic paint mix bucket than a pitcher. I will also add painters clothes to my long growing list of things i find i 'need' before saponifying that coconut oil!

Well done darkbanshee87! They are looking good, soon you will learn more and more tips and tricks on how to make them work best for you. They look very good.

Wow,mthanks formthe info, I think it is the new ones as i only recently bought it. I am also having trouble finding a simple rubbermaid measuring cup for some reason. In youtube videos a lot of people using what looks like ice cream plastic containers to mix their lye and oils.....is that what...

Thanks commoncenz....haha i decided whatever i do bath fizzy wise i am taking a video. I a, not so patient, and some of them i try only an hour or so after making, then a few days later they fizz much better, but all for experiments sake :) My favorite experiment so far is this one...i speeded...

Ah a trip down the market is due then...i was planning on using my pyrex as thought heatproof so should work. Now i really want to do this fast as curious about adding the salt to later on! For sure i will post the results to when i make them. Thanks everyone for the help again!

My only guess is too much oil, and the epsom salts may have caused the mix to 'swell' in the mold. It takes time to learn what works best with the type of atmosphere we are in. Best thing to do is just break them out of the molds and use them as powder for now. Then next time do not leave the...

ok : ) I just have what the end results look like with the ones that didn't get shaped perfectly. but just to have a 'visual documentary' of what the different ingredients and methods do. I wrote most things down in the description box to, as feel too funny talking and putting that online...

Two things i do. I usually lightly tap my molds with the back of a spoon, or even my whisk so that they come out whole, otherwise they will break, if you try doing it without releasing some tensions like the that first. Secondly could be the cornflour makes them soft. In all cases I like to...

Thank you for the quick reply snappyllama!!! Ok i am happy to know as i have a tub of coconut oil,i really want to do many things with from a while, and soap fits the bill...so using it for tjat. I have some silicone molds i do not know what to do with so will use it to shape the soap, i hope...

Sooo, i was told to avoid 100% coconut oil soap as it will be too drying. I also keep reading not too superfast at more than 5% But i came across a few places that say you could do 100% coconut oil soap and superfat it at around 20% and end up woth a non drying coconut oil soap. Should...

Hi Commoncenz, i do mine without spritzing any witch hazel at all. I first mix everything except the citric acid. I mix the baking soda, color, oils together, then add the essential oils, and when all is done i mix the citric acid in. I found this best, as if i put too much the mix started...

Hi darkbanshee! Im new to this forum and soap making but not bath bomb making! You had too much liquid. I am guessing the food colouring was liquid to? Also how is the weather where you are? Also how come there is no citric acid in your formula? Are you replacing the cream of tartar with it? Try...

Hi all. I am new to this forum, but have been lurking for a while. I love using cold pressed soaps, and decided to take it up quite a while ago, but boy is it the learning experience and i hope you guys do not mind that i will be asking so many questions. I have been making toiletries from a...
