Hi, everyone. You are very welcome. I was glad to do it. It’s true I haven’t been around much in about fourteen years, and I wasn’t particularly active before that, but I believe in niche communities like this one. The Internet kind of sucks now, in case you haven’t noticed, and I wanted to do...

Did you buy the lye in the 16oz container, or were you assuming that if you filled a 16oz container, you'd get 16oz of lye? It's important for people to realize that most of the places that sell lye in "1lb" or "2lb" increments are really just filling 16oz or 32oz containers with lye and calling...

I needed some racks for drying my soaps. I didn't want to wait and I didn't want to spend any money, so I improvised with stuff I had floating around my house. Most crafty types will have everything I used, or reasonable substitutes. I thought i'd share a quick photo tutorial in case someone...

Thanks, and thanks to everyone else for the compliments.

Thanks for the replies :) The Man Bar, yeah, I love the swirls in that one, too. I'd say those are actually the best swirls I have ever gotten in my cold-process swirl soaps. The funny thing is, I was disappointed when I poured it; watching it go into the mold, and seeing the top of the soap...

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. That's Piña Colada-scented, it smells great! Top-to-bottom, the scents are: Piña Colada Body by Victoria smell-alike Tea-Tree, scented with tea-tree essential oil. Eucalyptus essential oil and lemon essential oil, it smells fantastic Coffee Bean Frozen...

I don't have anything resembling a proper photo setup, since I recently made a long-distance move, so please forgive the second-rate photographs. Same bar, different color schemes.

How do you like the new reinforced silicone molds? I have some of the old-style ones, and they just bow out like crazy. Now, every time I go to the Wholesale Supplies Plus warehouse to pick up an order, I see the new reinforced molds hanging on the walls, but I am wary of trying them.

I'm curious, what other problems do you have with Wholesale Supplies Plus? I've been using them for what must be close to ten years and I've never had any problems. I'm a little disappointed in this, because I used to be able to save twice - once on the shipping costs, and once again on the...
