    Lightweight boxes for First Class Mail

    Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for lightweight boxes? I need to ship my products First Class Mail. Unfortunately, the USPS priority mail free boxes are lighter than the ones I purchased from U-line. Does anyone have a resource for lightweight boxes (4oz or less)? :???:

    Looking for recommendations for large bath bomb batches and drying advice

    Thank you Viore! Yeah the foam wasn't great, left dimples and took out large chunks. I'll try resizing it to see if it helps. The pourous nature of the foam seems to get stuck easily to my bombs. I've been tinkering with the recipe. It's been relatively successful but sometimes one or two that...

    Essential oil ratio in bath bombs

    Gotcha. That makes sense! I used the calculator and the 2% is actually more than I thought volume-wise. Safety first!

    Essential oil ratio in bath bombs

Because you're putting a bomb in an entire tub of water, so doesn't that dilute the EO enough that it would have very little risk? I mean 5 drops of EO in a tub of water is less than 2%... Or is it really that it needs to...

    Looking for recommendations for large bath bomb batches and drying advice

    Yeah, I've tried large batches (as in just tripling/ quadrupling my recipe). But yeah they end up only yielding 1/2 because the rest crumble. I wonder if it's just drying out too fast? Or maybe the water/ witch hazel evaporates and leaves not enough of a bond? Super frustrating... I'm thinking...

    Looking for recommendations for large bath bomb batches and drying advice

    Hi! For those of you that make bath bombs, do you use a kitchen aid for large batches or simply a large bucket to mix in? My recipe is solid, but I'm also looking for a solution for drying. Does bubble wrap or egg crate foam work best to dry on? I've found that bubble wrap can still cause...

    Hi from LA!

    Hi! I live and work in Los Angeles. I'm gearing up to launch an Etsy shop pretty soon here. This site has been a great resource over the years and I thought I'd finally commit to joining! So, :bunny: hello!
