Wow! Your's is WAY lighter than mine! Looks nice! The smell is getting better, I"m starting to have hope and am glad I didn't throw it away!

It's CP and it's hard, it just looks like strange brownies and still doesn't smell great. I did put some vanilla sugar FO in it, so I'm just letting it cure and we'll see how it goes. Here's a new pic so you can see what it really looks like! http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/4847/dscn0622o.jpg

Well the whole thing looks like the top now, as it dried it all turned dark brown. My friend today did think they were brownies till I smelled it and made a bad face! It still doesn't smell great!

Ok, I googled it, this is an Aussie thing? Not a US thing??

Ok, I"m big dumb, what's NICNAS? maybe I should just google it. You guys just seem to have the best explainations!

Thanks! I used ice cube trays! I'm excited to get trays in all different shapes! I think they will be fun christmas presents in all differents shapes and smells! Don't you think??!?? I even found a "Homer Simpson" ice cube tray for my brother's christmas soaps, I think it will be too funny!

haha, yeah, I've made two batches since that one, I just can't stop. Don't really know what i'm going to do with it. Give it away for opinions I guess!! Thanks for encourgment!

So I just poped out a batch I made on the 5th and some of the cornors still looked "gel" is this what you mean? My first batch did this too, but now they are fine and solid. Am I understanding correctly, is this "gel"?? http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4469/dscn0613s.jpg

Ok, so here is my first batch EVER. I used the base recipe from the "everything soap making book" and put some "sweet Vanilla Sugar" FO in it. I used ice cube trays as my mold. It was a one pound batch and I think it looks good. I made it on August 1st so it should be just about ready to use...

Ok, so here is my "Coffee Soap" it still smells funky and the top looks kinda burned. I don't know, this was my first "experiment" I just switched out my water with strong coffee and added some coffee grounds, it was like the lye burned the coffee, it smelled bad as soon as they mixed. What do...

Once I wrap it up I don't peak for fear of messing it up! I guess next time I'm peaking!!

I hear that, the lye and oils for sure! I hate living in the middle of no where, oh what I would give to be in civilization........

When you say "gell" do you just mean when the soap hardens in the mold? Or do you mean the kind of soap that has a jelly middle? I saw pics of soap with a jelly middle but I thought that was an accident......No?

Thanks for the site, I checked it out but their shipping is more, so it ends up being almost two dollars more. I know I'm crying over two bucks, I'm not really, I just like to find the best deal! I WISH I had somewhere I could just go get the stuff. I live in a VARY rural area, Wal-Mart is an...

So, I'm price checking for Palm Kernal Flakes and it seems to me that Brambleberry is the best buy. They want close to $4 for 2lbs when everywhere else I've looked wants $4 for one lb. Am I crazy?? That's a big difference!! Where are all of you shopping??

Wow, I can't believe that color! I hope you don't turn pink! Can you tell me the name of the brand of color you used? I'm courious about using color and have read that it's hard to do and make last but you seemed to have no trouble!

Let's hope so!

I made it yesterday. We'll see how it goes, as of now, it's still now great. It's still in the mold doing it's "thing"

Ok, So I've made a few batches now, and I decided to get creative. I thought I'de try to make "Coffee Soap". I was using the Basic Olive Oil recipe from the Everything soap book I just used strong brewed coffee in place of the water with my lye, and Olive Oil, simple right? Well when the Lye...

I think it looks really good! Don't mean to sound dumb but what does "TD" stand for?? I'm new to this!!!!
