Thank you AliOop! I had a small leak as my glass rod must have snagged some of the freezer paper, box handled it well. The only I may do is change my direction by 90 degrees and have the swirls go up the long way of the bar.

Finally got around to doing a marbling swirl technique using an old MacBook Pro box. Indeed the box is very sturdy along the edges. Anyhow, I was pleased with the results! WOW, those are incredible! Bravo!

Can’t wait to see it and I plan to try your method!

Thank you ResolvableOwl! Now you have sparked my curiosity Zing's method. Is it here on the forum someplace? I'll do some searching.

Thank you so much Zing!!

Didn't get my triangles just right... But I have to say, I like the design, regardless! Autumn Equinox from Nurture Soap. Does thicken in about 30 seconds after mixing, I split my batter purposely for that. However, I noted that even though my total batch weight was supposed to be about 1500...

Made my first shampoo bar! Nettle Tea w/sugar, infused olive oil w/lavender, coconut, coco butter, avocado, castor, puree'd avocado, a little EDTA, kaolin clay and Island Oasis FO from nurture soap. It smells wonderful! Can't wait to try it and see if the nettle tea helps my hair grow back :) It...

My pleasure! I'm an IT guy in my other life :) specializing in Mac.

Hi Zany, I am attaching a file that should help you convert the AppleWorks file to Pages. Hope it helps!

These look great! Do you line your PVC and if so has it affected the pull through?

Yes, that is what I did with my test loaf. I soap at 90 most times.

Hi TashaBird! I am glad I saw your post as I was going to be using autumn equinox for the first time. Indeed, it does thicken after only a few stirs with the spatula, but knowing in advance helped! I did a test batch in a 2 lb mold with 2 colors and measured out the fragrance and split it in...

Made a small order for a customer, Rose Geranium in a two colour. Looks good enough to eat!

I have not, but will the next tube of soap I make. Also, will keep it out of the oven :)

Thank you. That gives me a good idea as I have laminator. I use those sheets to seal my loaf molds and help prevent soda ash. I could seal a sheet and try using that as liner. Worth a try.

I'm suspecting I don't need to CPOP it which for my next batch, I'm going to leave it out of the oven and at room temperature. Thanks!

No, the PVC pipe is dry. I too, don't mind the aesthetic, but customers may. Thank you!

Good morning! I wondered if anyone had some idea of soaping problem I am having with PVC pipe and freezer paper. My typical soap recipe into a tube lined with freezer. It is CPOP'd overnight and upon removing it, the paper is wrinkled as is the soap. I have done this with cardboard tubes, the...

As I work in IT, we get a lot of cardboard boxes. As it turns out, the top cover box of the Apple MacBook Pros is very sturdy. Lined with freezer paper works nicely. The capacity is 38.4 x 27 x 2.3 centimeters. This yields 18 bars with some residual remaining unless I add a wedge. I'll add a...

We did our first soap batch using Zany's Castile recipe! Here is how it went and the bars!
