    RE: TD & Lye Water

    if it's a water dispersible TD, yes! you can add it to your lye water. Like all of my pigments, except for the neons which are oil dispersible, if you're wanting to color the whole batch that color, then yu can add ANY water dispersible pigment straight to your lye water.

    cutting trouble

    one of the easiest ways to prevent this........wait longer to cut. The firmer the soap, the less draggy it is. I know waiting is hard to do when you're as impatient as I am, but it really does help.

    Smelly GM

    if it's a sort of ammonia type smell, then that is completely NORMAL in gm soaps. Not everyone gets that ammonia smell, but occasionally it does pop up. It will go away when the soap is completely cured!!
