Hi, I started with freezer paper. Like many others. Found these at $tore. Ones I tried previously were to thick. These are thin enough to work. Trimmed to about 1 inch overlap. I use a flat ^test cap^. With a piece of freezer paper to seal bottom. The pvc is 12 inches long.

Hi, @MelissaG. I use HO sunflower as a supplement. To my recipe. 20% Do you use any hard oils?

Hi, the added sugar, in the powdered goats milk. Caused a bit more heat. Which needs to be addressed. My gm recipe, will go into gell. With limited covering. You technically have a new recipe. With its own temperament.

Hi, there should be a max usage rate on the bottle. ex, 2% of batch weight. Or that info should be on their web site. I purchase a lot from Natures Garden. In every FO/EO description. There is a section on usage. good luck.

I almost got sick to my stomach. While cutting my batch. But now it is a tolerable stench. I should have used any FO.

Hi, posting some pics. Will help us help you, also. You would not be the first. To have trouble with Amazon colors and fragrances. How large are your batches. Thinking volume equals heat. I do not cpop. My goats milk recipe will gell. With just towels on top. I use a reptile cage heating pad...

Hi, I use full water, then add powder required to my oils. Can not say either method. Is any better. They all work well. I just migrated from one to the other. Out of convenience. Powdered donkeys milk?

Hi, preference. I use powdered goats milk. For even more convenience.

Hi, 1. Solid, That's how they come from my suppliers. 2. What ever you are comfortable with. I use ounces, but am using grams on a rd project. 3. Good book to start with, but there are some updated things these days. 4.a CPOP, with the oven on? 4.b cracked? What's in your recipe? Any added...

Hi, beautiful colors, swirls. How soon did you unmold/ cut?

The children's rhyme, "99 bottles of beer on the wall". Came to mind when I read this. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow! Oh my gawd! Boing! Just checked out OO. At my local wally world. 3 liter bottle. Up $10.00! Usually grab a bottle. But haven't last couple of visits. Let me see ....25% canola, 25% vegetable, 25% walmart vegetable/palm, 25% walmart tallow/lard......... where's that 1 pound test mold?

I just call it out as lard. Any questions about it. I just educate them. To the fact it's not lard after saponification. Besides it's only 4 characters on a label.

To be honest. I have been looking at the Hercules. To replace my home made single bar. It has so many other uses also. The Hercules isn't much more than a single bar bud's cutter. It would save you from buying. A log splitter down the road.

Mmm, both are well built. Materials, wood vs metal. How often will you be using it? I used a homemade, single bar quite often. Until purchasing a multi bar cutter.
