Then shrink wrap it will be. Thank you Shuntt!

Thank you CT. I will plan on your advice as I would hate to have them ruined and waste soap.

I am planning on selling it along with my CP soap. I do have A/C. My concern is having it outdoors at craft fairs. if it is in the cellophane then will it be okay?

Hi everyone, I have never made MP, just CP. I would like to start making MP but would like to hear from others who live in a humid warm climate. I live in FL until June each year and wonder about sweating issues with MP as our temperatures begin to rise soon. I am told to use Saran wrap to...

African Black Soap I am sort of a newbie myself (a few months into it) having only a few hundred bars under my belt now. A friend of mine asked for something for her black daughter's dry skin and after Googling I found African Black Soap. Looking into it I determined that I will not attempt...

Thanks, I hope it works out. It would be a shame to have to toss it.

So this happened a little while ago. I made up my lye and stirred it well. Well I guess I really didn’t because when I made the soap batter it took forever to come to trace. I have made a bunch of soap with a very light trace now and they came out good. I figured that maybe my oil was too warm...

I ended up ordering from Nurture and the stuff was shipped to me within a few days. I love their selection and will definitely order from them again. Thank you again for the suggestion.

Thanks for the names Dibbles and Rusti. I will explore these vendors as well. Man, I wish I knew that BB was so slow. Has anyone bought off Amazon for colors? I have Prime and can have them in 2 days but not sure of the quality.

Hi Saranac, Wow thanks for the link on Symphony Scents! They are only 3 hours away from me. I near Lake Ontario. I just looked at BB cancellation policy and they charge a 15% restocking fee for any order that has been pulled from their warehouse. Of course my order says that it is ready to...

I am in NY

I emailed them and expressed my displeasure especially since I am a new customer. I told them if they could not fulfill the order in a timely fashion then I will have to use a different vendor. The problem is, I cannot find a place to purchase the colors for CP other than at BB. Bulk...

I placed an order with them 2 days ago and as of today it has not even shipped. I saw somewhere on their site that there is a delay due to heavy holiday volume. I am not happy about this.

Second Batch of Soap Hi all, First thank you all for your input here in this thread. I made my second batch of soap with a few changes. First I increased the water to lye ratio by a few ounces, I added a fragrance because I couldn't wait to use one! LOL I whipped it until a pudding-like...

What is CPOP?

Thank you for all of this info. I will try the plastic wrap next batch and sticking to odorless/colorless until I get it right. :)

Oh dear I don’t think I am ready for colorants. It looks like I have a disaster here. First there is soda ash all over the top. I sprayed it with 91% alcohol so think maybe I need 99%, The next issue is the transparent Center. The lady who taught me had mentioned last night that this would...

Hi everyone! I made my first batch of cold processed soap yesterday and cannot wait to take it out of the mold to see how it turned out. Being the cautious person that I am I stuck to the basics and made a batch of colorless and odorless soap in order to test my recipe. So if all turns...

I am glad that the accidents were not too serious. I am curious to know about the lye that was spilled. Did you scoop it up somehow and use it or did you dispose of it? And if you disposed of it how did you?

I totally agree with you on why take a chance prefer to err on the side of overkill. hopefully with all this protection I will not have any mishaps but if I do then I am as ready as I can be.
