    Bath bomb disaster

    The first link you gave, "uses for citric acid" mentions bath bombs on the last bullet point. Previously, I got it on line, from Amazon, it just said "Citric Acid" and it was granular. I could not have used less witch hazel than I did. As soon as it held together I put it in the moulds. I am...

    Bath bomb disaster

    I have never heard of it either, but I am a newbie and there is LOTS I have never heard of :? From the website, note that I did not read the last paragraph! Fine powdered Anhydrous Citric Acid, a very fine grade to give an ultra-smooth finish when making bath bombs where it reacts with the...

    Bath bomb disaster

    hmlove1218 Good point. I just tried half a mini ball in the basin. It fizzed but it was pathetic :) So the heart shaped one will go in with another good one when I next have a bath. At least it tells me that double processing it would be a waste of time. Just not sure what to do with the...

    Melt and Pour won't melt!

    Still at the bottom of the learning curve! I bought the same mould from two different sellers. The first one was good so I tried to use scraps from the first mould to test the second mould. The first mould took around 16g, so I heated this much. It started to melt but by the time I had taken...

    Tidy up the soap

    Ok, I had better photos on my phone but for some reason they won't upload to my email. First photo shows the top of the soaps made with 50/50 white/clear. I fragranced the white and added baby blue mica and a tincy wincy pinch of blue glitter. I added them together when they were quite hot and...
