I have soaped with Brambleberry's Sensuous Sandalwood and it is too powdery to be a true sandalwood

The best line of defense would be a cat or 2 and or bait with some peanut butter or cheese? Cats work very well as a deterrent. I lived in New York for a couple of years and the building had a lot of mice. When I adopted 2 cats, the mice would not come inside my apartment. They can smell...

When I visited Idaho a few years ago I bought some potato Lotion and it was pretty good.

I did a lime EO/Myrrh/patchouli/Rosewood soap and it has been 3 months and the scent is still coming through a lot.

They are lovely soaps!!:p

Wow, Now that looks easy and your pics make it even easier!! love it!!

Bath and Body Works are not skin safe and most of all they contain Pthalates which can cause long term liver damage and other health problems. The heated oils are meant for tart warmers and oil burners.

Babassu can be a sub for CO or Palm Kernel Flakes. For a Harder bar, the PKF would do.

Yep those are bakers racks and you can find them sometimes on craigslists. I bought mine from a person selling baking equipment for 55.00 with the metal pans. A steal considering the price new is over 150.00 (not including pans)

I have found bakers racks to be very good and useful. Sorry for no pics, I just moved and things are hectic right now.

I would go with a column or a peacock swirl with a slow tracing recipe and incorporate 5 or 6 colors from the 60's, like purples, pink, brown, turquoise, orange and green etc. :razz:

Not in CA but would be interested in EOs butters and FO's and colorant

I would get the legal aspect out the way to secure your name and make a name for yourself ( U know what I mean) the last thing you want is someone after making a great name for yourself and building a great business, someone comes along and steals it right from under you. The business license...

Did you add the silk to the lye when it was at its highest heat? The silk will dissolve at high heat in the lye.

Oh no :cry:, I hope everything is OK!!! That happened to me and in an extreme panic I rinsed my eye with vinegar, And it stung like nobody's business but it did stop after awhile and I was ok. The eye can repair itself in most situations. Please take it easy Jeenelk

LOVE the top swirls!!!:razz:

I did a 40% PO with just a little cream @ 3oz. I also added SL. I did use a 36% Water as % of Oil weight on soapcalc. I placed it in the fridge. I usually discount water but with the high PO I didnt want to risk acceleration. I hope it turns out :(

I got distracted by my daughter and was in the middle of weighing. A higher SF is ok. I am afraid that it would affect the lather, or would it?

Hello, I was making A 4LB test batch today calling for 8.41 oz of lye and when I first weighed my lye it was at 8.4oz. Then I did a second weigh and it was 8.10 oz. I was afraid to add more lye and decided to soap anyway. I also added some Heavy whipping Cream at trace. Do you think my batch...
