Hi...I just bought some premium lotion base and a few rap plastic lotion containers from NDA. The question is How do you get the lotion in? The hole is so little. Is there a special tool that does this? You can probably tell I do not have much experience. I have only made cp soap up to this...

My son and dog discovered a wasps or whatever it is nest in the back lane. My son was throwing the ball for the dog and guess where it landed. Anyway our girl is pretty swollen up around her eyes and I am sure elsewhere, she is black so it is hard to tell. Do I just leave her alone or is...

I made these soaps this past week. The first two pictures are made with the fragrance Almost Heaven Type from NDA. I really really like it. A little too sweet, but that's okay. I forgot half my liquids which was the goats milk. It seems like I do something wrong in every batch. I am not...

I just used this FO recently. I got it from New Directions Aromatics. I made one pound of my regular recipe adding .9 oz of this FO. My soap was extremely oily and you can tell by the top of the soap that it must have been really cooking in the mold. I don't have alot of...

This is probably a dumb question, but I'm not going to let that stop me. Do you mix up your 50/50 lye/liquid solution in one container and then transfer it to your HDPE safe container once it has cooled down? Or do you mix it up right in the HDPE safe container? Paul, I guess your the...

I live in Canada. In a week and a half I am flying to Los Angeles airport. From there we are driving down to Yuma, Arizona. At the end of our time we are driving back up to the Los Angeles airport along the west coast kind of bypassing San Diego. Can anyone tell me if there are any soap...

I have 2 questions about RTCP-Room Temperature Cold Process. #1 If you have a wood mold with a lid like the TOG, do you put the lid on after you pour the soap batter in to let it set. #2 Can you handmill or rebatch RTCP soap. That is it. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me about which co I have. I buy it in a big pail from a company that supplies the movie theatres. So I do not know if it is 72 degree or 92 degree and it does not say on the bucket. Thanks for any help.

Can someone tell me if Peach Kernel oil is the same as Palm Kernel oil. I just ordered it thinking it was but now I'm not sure.

I was asking about black currant concentrate awhile ago. I gave it a try. When I had it at trace and ready for the mold it was a pukey green brown color. It reminded me of when you make blueberry muffins and you get that greeny tinge around the blueberries. Chemical reaction, I guess...

I have never made anything but CP soap, and a very basic recipe at that. My daughter and I tried bath bombs on Sunday and they came out wonderful. They fizzed bigtime and there was an average bubble bath. I used bubble flakes in the recipe. This is the recipe I used...

If I were to use black currant concentrate, would I do ounce for ounce of the water. I would add it later at trace, maybe swirling or something. Has anyone ever used this and do they know what color it comes out as. In the jar it is a deep purple/red. I know the ph of the soap can change...

Hi...my name is Laurie. I am from Canada. I have been cp soaping for about 3 years. Have used the same basic recipe from Soapmaker's Companion until this past summer when I got a new recipe. Now I've been making that one ever since. Ready to start experimenting with eo's and fo's and other...

I'm a little discouraged by the high shipping costs that Etsy wants to charge for my $130.00 TOG mold order. I'm reluctant to place the order because I feel that the shipping is way too high ($41.00). And I'm likely to pay GST and duty on top of that. Has anyone else from Canada experienced...

I've been researching for some months now to find just the right soap mold(s). I finally decided to invest in the TOG as found on the Etsy site. I went through all of the "hoops" only to find out at the end that they can't ship to Canada?? Does anyone know if there is any other way or...
