Darcy's soap Oh but know I have seen pictures of your soap. You seem to have a natural talent. If this is your beginning your future looks bright.

The thought of a blow torch scares me, I don't even do creme brule at home. ;-) I would suggest, if you use a heat gun be sure it has variable temperature settings and start at the low end of the temperature setting. A friend of mine sets her jars on a cookie sheet, the jars are wicked...

Wet spot on conatiner candles Hi~ All soy wax is not created equal. Some brands of container wax adhere better than others. I agree always heart your jars and cool them slowing. I use Enchanted Lites wax. I let the wax cool to 105 degrees before I pour. One approach would be to...

Flake or Crystaline look to wax There are two things that come to my mind. 1. The wax was too hot for too long in the melter or 2. If the scent you were using, if you we using scent, did not bond well with the wax, ie scent not stirred long enough into wax before pouring, this can...
