What is the thickness of your craft foam and does it matter if the foam is colored? I'm sick to death of fighting with the darn paper and plastic! Thanks! Kelly

Congrats Peaches!! You have just taken your first step down the slippery slope of soap making. It's all down hill from here... :P Kelly Dawn

Congrats!!! Those are some cool looking soaps. I really like the shape the mud tray gave them. Neat to see something other than just square. You know, maybe that can be your "signature" shape. :lol: Kelly Dawn

Oh wow!!! Those look great! I didn't think black soap would look so good. I love that STUD stamp. How cute! I wish I had some mica because I like the idea of a silver vein in black soap now that I've seen how pretty it is. :( Bummer Thanks for your help guys!! Kelly Dawn

Hi all, I've been looking through the archives but haven't found any information about this so I'm hoping someone here can help me with this problem. When I made soap years ago I was able to cure my soaps in a closet with louvered doors but we've moved to a different house and my DH has...
