I use the SFIC clear glycerin M&P base and I wrap it up and heat seal it as soon as it has hardened. My question is, what would you say the "shelf life" of this base is? I have bars that I made a year ago that still use and they still lather great. But what would be the optimum "used by" time...

I've always used glitter that is specifically marked as "for use in soap". But I wonder, is there truly a difference between "soap glitter" and regular old craft glitter? Or am I just being swindled out of a couple extra bucks?

I'm thinking of making a small bar with an embed in the middle. If I color the embed with a non-bleeding colorant, but I color the soap around the embed with a liquid colorant, will the liquid colorant bleed into the embed? I imagine it wouldn't matter much if the embed was dark blue and the...

I made a set of small soaps (each about one ounce) with clear M&P base, and I added liquid colorant (red, blue, yellow, pink and green) and fragrance to each one. I sent them to my customer, and about a month later, I got a message from them that the soaps had turned BLACK. They sent along a...

I bought some "felting wool" from Michaels and made my first felted soap. I was a little disappointed because it smells like... well... sheep :) and there were twigs and leaves in the wool!

Maybe a silly question... I have a straight edge, regular ol' handle and blade soap cutter and everytime I cut soap, the soap sticks to the cutter like a suction cup! It drives me nuts. Are there any tips to prevent this? I've tried wetting the blade just before cutting, but that didn't help...

I've been getting so many requests from international buyers that I've decided to start offering international shipping as a standard option. This may be a crazy question, but are there any countries where it would be illegal to ship my soap to?

I was wondering where everyone buys their soap dyes, and what types do you primarily use? I have been buying my dyes from Michaels (mainly to avoid shipping costs) but they recently changed brands. Now, instead of purple, pink and green, they sell lilac, peach and lime. But I just want purple...

Hello ~ I was wondering if anyone else uses Amazing Mold Putty (or any similar product) to make molds for M&P soap. I just started using this stuff to make soap molds, but I find that when I remove my soap, it has a powdery-type coating on it. I can wash it off, but it takes a little bit of...
