The photos of your soap are so inspiring to a newbie like me :) They are BEAUTIFUL

Ugh, yeah I'm starting to think that these molds aren't up to the task! The soap just doesn't want to come out no matter what I do!

Hehe, oh thank you! You're going to make me blush :D

Yeah I think I might go back to some simpler recipes. With these last few sets, especially the second one that I did, I felt like i was just wasting all my ingredients!

Thanks! I was using two tablespoons PPO for the honey, so I probably did use too much. I like the idea of no sticking! I've seen silicone molds at Superstore, for making cupcakes and stuff, so maybe I'll try one of those next time I'm there, if my wood mold doesn't get here first :)

Wow, lots of replies! So quickly too! Thank you all so much for your kind words and encouragement! I think I will try simplifying the next few recipes that I do. Although using multiple oils is fun, I think I might try to go back to basics, or I might not lol. I like to jump ahead to advanced...

Thank you! I'm not lining my molds. The molds I'm using are like... plastic molds I got from Michaels. I'm waiting for a wood mold to get shipped to me, which I already have the freezer paper to line it with, but how would I line plastic molds? They are like trays with three or four cavities...

I have made a total of three batches so far. My first batch was 65% palm, 25%coconut and 10% shea butter. Superfat about 8% It was ridiculous to get out of the molds and formed a very fine layer of what I believe is the ash everybody talks about, but overall I'd say it's the best soap I...

I'm new to soaping. Good idea! I absolutely hate cleaning up afterwards. Everything is SO GREASY! It's like... I clean it, and it looks clean... but it's still all greasy. I haven't cleaned up from yesterdays soap making yet, so maybe I'll just try leaving it for a while :)

Me too! Here I was thinking I'd have to spend another few hours looking for somewhere to order, and then BAM... problem solved :)

I definitely will! I'll probably post a review on here after I've used it a couple time :)

I know right? He's sending it to me even though he won't be making a profit from it. In my eyes it's a smart business decision. Even though he isn't making a profit off of my order, if the mold is good quality and everything, I'll be way more likely to recommend them to others on forums and...

You guys! The original 3 pound mold that I had ordered is being shipped to me after all! The owner felt bad that his site didn't really specify anything about shipping, so he is shipping it to me for the original cost! I'm so excited! Woohoo!

I couldn't find any reviews on the wolf creek ones anywhere! They do, however, ship to Canada, which is a plus! lol. I'm waiting to hear back from them about how much it would cost to ship them.

Thanks you guys! Tonight I'm making the following soap recipe: Lard 35% Coconut Oil 25% Sunflower Oil 15% Shea Butter 10% Olive Oil 10% Grapeseed Oil 5% At trace I'm adding just honey. I hope it's good!

I have wondered if it would be possible to make a Pepsi soap, so I'm interested to see if anybody has any experience with this as well!

I bought Grapeseed oil at the grocery store the other day, because I read that it's good for acne prone skin in soap. I can't find anywhere what a good amount to use is. What percentage of grapeseed oil would you use in a soap? i'm probably going to make my third batch tonight! woo!

I agree 100% I'm new to this forum, but I am so happy that everyone here is so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. You don't get that on many forums these days.

Ooh I hadn't thought about Googling the mold reviews. I'll do that in a bit, I'm just finishing up my work.

Hey! I was wondering if anybody has ever used these molds: http://www.wolfcreekwoodcrafts.com/woodensoapmolds.html And if you would recommend them? They look pretty good to me and i love how you can customize them and get multiple cells in one mold. Just wanted to know if anybody knew what...
