    Flakes in lye solution

    I get flakes sometimes, and other times not at all. Same lye, same distilled water, same container. Cannot figure out a pattern or reason why but it is OK to use. Some like to strain the flakes out with a strainer.

    Issues with in-mold lumpiness

    hi there I have been having issues for the past 2 or so months with my CP batter becoming lumpy / sort of like ricing after an initial smooth trace. No matter what FO/EO I use (and even if I don't use fragrance). Basically my batter is smooth and nice but after a couple of minutes, or...

    WSP aggravation

    WSP is always extremely slow to process my orders. Like every time. But I love their products and I love their free shipping even more!

    Feedback on new website welcome!

    It looks very nice. Nice and clean. Are you going to get a logo? A good logo would make it look very nice.

    Stick blender making lots of bubbles

    My Hamilton Beach blender used to do that too. I upgraded to a Cuisinart and I cannot believe how much better it is. Like tons better.

The free shipping really saves a...

    Black colour coming out

    I don't think you went wrong anywhere, it is hard (?impossible?) to get a truly black soap without the color running out. Use of activated charcoal may help a little but you are still likely to get some color run, even if the bubbles are white. My dark brown soaps (which are that color only...

    Soap keeps getting stuck in silicone molds

    This exactly. If I don't use mineral oil, mine always sticks. Badly. Get it from Wal Mart or the drug store. Sodium lactate definitely helps a bunch too.
