    What soapy thing have you done today?

    After not making soap for nearly 5 months I decided today was the day. To my great surprise it was relaxing and enjoyable. Over the past year I have usually been stressed and worried as I made soap as a beginner. Sure, things didn't work out exactly like I wanted them to in the design and...

    My quest for coconut:

    more coconut FO I just got back from Hawaii (Maui) myself a week ago - and ordered some coconut scents to work with soap and lotion from Fragrance Buddy - so glad I found this thread - amazing the results! I am pretty sure I will make small batches to test these I just received. For the...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    Cookie Cookie said: Cookie - I am definitely looking forward to seeing what happens in the next week - which will be 4 weeks since I made the soap. I did plane off the edges - but kept them all so I could see - but I really don't think those bubbles are going anywhere - the soap is looking...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    studying and learning Just wanted all of you to know on this thread that I am still studying and learning so so much! I'm lucky to have a husband who is a chemist and he has been "pretty" helpful when I ask him a halfway intelligent question that he can answer about ingredients that we use in...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    Thank you so much and now I'm trying to figure out why I need and what in the world is a water or lye discount - I have seen several formulas here and also have downloaded the soapcalc pro app on my phone. Now, if I need to keep practicing. I've successfully made 2 recipes that I...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    That is weird to me - but I'm having weird problems of my own - and not bubbles. Another thread is needed and I am searching right now for answers. I have not CPOP ed again but did make other batches in the mold that bubbled - they turned out totally bubble less - perfect - so I'm sure it is...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    I'm making soap today in the same mold - but not CPOP-ing. I haven' called ED but plan to this afternoon (east coast here). As for my bubble experience digression - ha - I bet my oven went down to 149 or less very quickly because I opened it to cover the top with foil one time. It was...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    I am such a Newbie! I have studied and read and read and watched so many youtube (great!!) and have heard soap makers say they save every piece for drop in pieces, guest and rebatching but totally forgot it when it came to "my soap" Thanks for the reminders you guys!! (IrishLass too!) denise

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    Well - I really am appreciative of the attention this mold is getting. As a first time soaper I am truly baffled and haven't made another loaf since - after all, it's the only real mold I have! I do have the cardboard box it came in, which I converted into a mold and plan on lining with my...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    very interesting~ Mine is obviously a brand new silicone liner - I wonder if the lye is breaking in the silicone? This is a bad case of bubbles - all over the whole brick. But....the first batch of soap I made (from the starter kit from ED) was perfect - not one bubble. I just...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    Thank you so much!! Just Beachy, Obsidian and Shunt2011, Thank you so much for replying so quickly! I will not CPOP again with that liner or maybe ever - until I get more used to this soap making! I see a shiny section in the middle top but I am still going to cut it later today. If the...

    outside bubbles on my CPOP?

    Hi Soap Gurus, I'm new - this is my second loaf of CP and I followed a recipe on Brambleberry to CPOP it. It has been two days and I unmolded it from a silicone liner (from Essential Depot) I am still not sure at all about the way things are supposed to look but I think this was too tight...
