    Cure time

    Cure time doesn't change. It will be four to six weeks. If you wait to cut it into bars, it will be too hard to cut if it's cold process. We tend to use log and loaf interchangeably. You may like to make hotel sized bars, or you can create thin slices yourself. If you leave the people to do...

    Hurricane Milton

    I don't know why anyone would hunker down for this Hurricane. It's going to hit like a freight train. I live near New Orleans but don't have family or friends in Florida. We evacuate at cat 3 no matter what. Only people that live in these areas would understand having to prepare every year for a...

    40x aloe powder. Horrible with math can’t figure out how to use it.

    I just went with makesy because this is what they do so it would seem odd for it to be wrong.

    Shea butter smells weird?

    It might have gone rancid. Shea butter smells terrible honestly, but if it doesn't smell like it should, it may have gone bad.

    Best mixer for whipped body butter

    I have a kitchenaid mixer. They're expensive though. My husband got it for me a couple years ago for my birthday. I never thought I'd be excited for a mixer lol.

    Best oil for bath bombs?

    The issue I have with it is that it doesn't have poly 80 but does have alot of butter. I highly suggest poly 80 added.

    Had something weird happen with my wax melts, take a look?

    I don't sell them just white. It just doesn't sell. I decided to just go with the color. I've attached the label so you can see. A bit of black, purple, blue, and an orange. So it hits the Halloween theme. I had to cancel market this weekend because I sold out of so much last weekend and I've...

    Best oil for bath bombs?

    Currently I'm using safflower oil but the bombs seem kind of soft to me and I'm wondering if the oil is to blame. Perhaps cocoa or mango since they're hard butters? What are your suggestions? What do you use?

    Soap curls... best tool?

    Oooo pretty colors. Not yet, I'm out of one of my oils and it's supposed to get here tomorrow. Had to cancel this weekends market because I sold out of a bunch of stuff last weekend and didn't have supplies on hand to make them all. Totally unexpected. I made $300 last weekend and $250 the...

    Had something weird happen with my wax melts, take a look?

    So I bought Makesy orange colorant for melts and candles from Hobby Lobby. Big mistake. It was orange in the pot but not anywhere else. So I added a peach colorant I had. It had the effect of the attached picture. The scent is Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. So this didn't turn out as planned lol. Now...

    Soap curls... best tool?

    So I've decided on the Christmas design I want to do for my soap but I do not have a log cutter or a slab mold so this should be interesting. And easy and inexpensive thing to get would be something to make the soap curls with. I don't have a planer but it would be easy to just go out and grab...
