    I thought possibly stearic spots as well.

    Fragrance Oil Lockup

    Some fragrance oils will do that to you, unfortunately!

    Need Advice Regarding Embeds

    My experience with embeds is pretty limited, but I have had fine luck with melt and put embeds. I neither encourage nor prevent gel phase, but my soap does usually gel. It may depend some on your melt and pour base as well.

    What preservatives do I add to keep oils from turning?

    Wait, why would it go rancid after only a few weeks?

    Dandruff Shampoo bar?

    I have heard that tea tree oil is supposed to be good for dandruff.

    Can cupcakes be cpoped?

    I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine the pretty, fluffy frosting making it through CPOP without flattening out.

    If I sell only one olive oil soap, what scent should it be, if any?

    I wouldn't do citronella either. I think of it as something that people tolerate in those stinky candles that are supposed to keep Mosquitos away. I don't remember ever hearing anyone expressing a fondness for the scent.

    Small batch - what's too small?

    If I am doing a small batch, I use a pound of oils. I wouldn't go much under that and I have seen others say the same, but 300 g will probably be ok if you're really set on it. If you do a typical salt bar with a 15 or 20% super fat, there's not much danger that it will end up lye heavy.

    Hot processing cold process recipes?

    No, you don't. The recipes will be the same; just the process is different. I wouldn't discount the water for hot processing though.

    pleasing pumpkin NG frag

    It smells good, but it turned out to be a lot more of a cinnamon scent than I had expected/hoped.

    Moldy soap.

    I am sorry it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, but I am glad it isn't actually moldy!

    Kaolin Clay Question

    That's correct, they don't allow you to sign up with a free e-mail address. That's why I can't join, too.

    BB's lemon verbena.

    Maybe it will improve. I had lavender soap that I really did not care for while it was fresh, but it got much better after a month or so.

    SoapMakingForum Decal Contest!

    I am from the US and I'm not certain about what it is either. I am thinking that maybe it is a window decal though, a sticker for a car window.

    I can't seem to make purple work! I need help!!

    I used that same pigment the other day and got a nice lavender. It was my first time using it, so maybe I got lucky? I mixed just a dusting of the lavender and a dusting of water soluble TD with several drops of water. Then I mixed it well with around 1/3 of the soap batter and used it for...
