    Yay for broken ankles

    Wow, really sorry to hear this news. Ouch! Did you break both ankles?

    My fragrance reviews

    Thanks for sharing your testing notes! I’m disappointed to hear that the OT Watermelon Patch didn’t stick because I like the way it smells in the test soap I made last week.

    Mobjack Bay 2024

    Found this on the CCT website for their acrylic molds: Upper working temperature 239–266 F (115–130 C) I use a combination of a bucket, heating pad and towels to keep my round column batches warm. I haven’t had any issues with acrylic, white PVC or the black Wild Plantanica tubes using that...

    Newton’s Third Law

    When batter goes sideways that quickly, it usually has something to do with the fragrance, with heater additives like honey a close second. Are you certain that the lavender EO was pure, unadulterated essential oil that was not old and rancid? Past that, for the best troubleshooting, you...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    It's always a first cut on behavior in test soaps because what happens in 80 g of batter is only a hint of what could happen in 1500 g or more. You hit on a couple of my reliably slow stickers. I can add these: Majestic Mountain Sage Osmanthus BeScented's Black Raspberry Vanilla (not a big...

    Not too thick, not too thin! @TashaBird, who I haven't seen around lately, really perfected this technique and shared many tips and photos of her process. She stresses the importance of placing the batter for each new layer on the previous layer with little or no break through. @Tammyfarms...

    @not_ally The acrylic tubes are these (76 mm/3” inner diameter). The fit is snug, but it works for most of the disks. The Amazon vendor also offers 81 mm (3 3/16th id). Which soap/what square mold are you asking about? The rectangular soaps were made in this mold.

    Thank you all! ❤️❤️❤️ For anyone who hasn’t made a dandelion infusion before, it’s easy and you should give it a try! The most important step is to thoroughly dry the flowers. I use my food dehydrator. The flowers may begin to expand as they dry, but that’s okay. I fill quart size mason...

    Thank you ❤️. Yes on the yellow being 100% from the dandelions. It was oil from a jar that was packed full with dried dandelions. The split cup has a lot of potential and yes, you should get one! I’m looking forward to trying different color combos and different ways of pouring from the cup...

    I so want to make about 10 more batches using the cup, but first I have to finish testing FOs 🤣

    Mobjack Bay 2024

    To kick off 2024, I had fun making kaleidoscope and ebru soaps. From top to bottom, scented with Oregon Trails Green Tweed, OT German Chamomile and Nurture's Seventh Heaven blended with some Litsea: ETA: sneaking this next batch in. I had it stashed away in the dark because the colorants...

    Peanut oil and Baking Soda. Will it work?

    Apparently it can be done, as explained in this post by @DeeAnna https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/soap-making-with-nahco3.48671/post-467515

    HOTH - added extras

    Absolutely gorgeous embroidery! My mom collected Blue Willow and I always loved it. I have a wonderful collection of my own that I was gifted over the years by my mom and son.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    If anyone is interested, I posted a labelled version of my latest round of FO tests in a media album, here. I included the test recipe in the caption. Consider the info on acceleration to be a first cut, not definitive. Only OT's White Patchouli threatened to become soap on a stick using this...
