Hello I am looking for any advice on making gel candles. Am thinking these would be easy to make - and resell in votive glass containers... or mold them and sell without a container... to be used on a plate. Does anyone have a good supplier? Thanx,

I order from CS and have had nothing but GREAT customer service and speedy shipping. I have been happy! I love the FO's they have too!

Yes, its the inner dimensions... I got 80 ounces... I discount at 6% with 33%. I am going to try and remake... maybe I measured wrong. Its possible!

I saw that but for some reason its not coming out correct for me. I must be doing something wrong... I NEED SOME HELP!! Argh. I did a recipe last night with 80 oz total oils in my silvermoon log mold which is 20 x 3.5 x 2.75 and it was not even half full... any ideas?

Maybe Paul can chime in -- what is the formula to figure out the liquid volume for a mold? I had it somewhere and now can't find it. Thanks! Rachelle

Personally, I would NEVER eat something out of the same pot I had made cp soap (with lye) in. Regardless of how clean you think it is, lye is a dangerous and toxic chemical and not something to mess around with. I would just go to Wally World and buy a cheap Enamel pot (less than $20) to...

Well, I would like it to be softer than a massage bar - about the consistancy of butter - in other words I will package it into jars. :)

Thanks anyhow -- I will figure this out on my own.

:) Great, let me know how it works for you. Its one of my best sellers!

DH got me some frm wally world. Yes, they are very soft. LOVE THEM. Not sure how they are "infused" with Aloe... maybe a sales ploy?

;) I just started UL photos and think its pretty easy. The pain is that - yes - you have to use a host, but I suppose you could use the img path all the same from other hosts. I dont use the "get your own uploader" on this forum - is that image shack? Have not givin that a whirl...

HA HA that is a good one! Um, no complaints here -- a free forum, I think its great. Posting a photo is VERY easy here once you get the hang of it. I have a flickr account... here is how to do it. From your chosen photo (in Flickr) right click your chosen image and choose "properties"...

nope - the lye takes care of that.

Gosh! What a nice looking first batch! You should be really proud... :) Good Job!

Hm - it comes in a case??!?? :P WOW gotta go get that now! He has only been bringing home 6 packs... LOL. Prob thinking "wife's gonna kill more beer tonight... what a waste..." hehehehe. I even asked tonight if it was sacrilidge - boiling down good beer - I dont drink beer -- he is ok...

Hey Paul -- How long is the lye mix able to be stored? Does it loose potency over time? :) Cheers

Its not that kind of place... they are all really nice and super helpful here. Sort of refreshing. Cheers!

hehehe... thanks DFP! My hubby stole --- uh saved a few from the pack when I was not looking! He about had a coronary when I began to boil it! I cut the log this morning and I think it really should have gone into the freezer -- it barely started to gel and I have end cuts that have...

I agree about the honey -- its prob not helping much!

Re: Question about GM Soap Hi Dana Yupo, orange color is from the GM getting to hot in the lye mix. You can use ice baths but I have fiddled around with GM and what works great for me is to mix my lye and aloe juice - and add the remaining GM liquid right before trace. I have not had to...
