    Failure after failure

    You're dealing with additives that can be tricky for even an experienced soapmaker. Experiment with your basic recipe until you find one you love and then move on to additives. I wonder, too, what temperature you're soaping at? Sometimes too hot and it can cause crumbly soap.

    looking for rebatch directions

    Here's a method that works well for me. Don't have a link unfortunately, but this comes from another soap forum. Shread your soap to rebatch. I use a 2/3 to 1/3 ratio - 2/3 new soap oils to 1/3 soap shreads. So make a new batch of soap, use lye amount for the 2/3 amount. For instance, you...

    My Soap is bleeding... Break out the bandages...

    I don't have a disclaimer on any of my products; however, I have labeled them correctly. I think that people with allergies do read labels and are educated consumers. It annoys me when soapers make claims about what their soap will do...cure this rash, etc. By law, we can't say it will do...

    My Soap is bleeding... Break out the bandages...

    Mish, I don't think anyone is being critical. You've been given some good advice. You stated in a post in February that you had only been making CP soap for two months. Take your time and perfect your craft, especially before selling to the public at large. There is so much more to the...

    Novice quandry

    Off topic, but hopefully you've got all the legal "things" in place too. I made sure I had liability insurance before I started selling to the public at large. Even if your market doesn't require proof of such, it's foolish not to have it in place.
