@Zing that’s super pretty and delicate swirl! It’s got a lace kind of feel.

I buy mine at a wine maker/home brewer supply store.

Bumping this up as I’m searching for a melt and pour that does not sweat. @cmzaha do you know of one as mentioned above?

Before I try this again, I have a question about MP soap sweating. If these sweat inside my bath bomb that would be a disaster. Any tips? Do they stop sweating after awhile?

Oh goodness that site was WAY too fun to shop! I just loved all the beautiful art used for each fragrance!!! Now I have another account and a cart full. 😆

Had a hard time with the manatee tails and the flare on the hair dryer. They kept wanting to break at the narrow part. But my mix was fairly workable. With a real soft touch I was able to push them back together. I keep working on them as they hardened and separated again. Now they seem fused...

😊🐻🍯 I love the one un dissolved bit of honey on the one paw! (Will that honey chunk get weird?)

Finally got around to using my T-Rex embed I’d had wrapped up for a couple weeks. It may be floating in the soap. It may be on the “ground”. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I tried to do an ITPS so I may have hit it. I chopped up some of the extra pieces. I’m letting them dry and harden as much as I can. Then I’m going...

Made the bear soap, it’s resting. I realized that I have used shea butter, but had not used cocoa butter before. It took SO much heat to melt it, whoowee! Had to wait a long time for it to cool. Soaped with oils at 124F, and lye at 100F. Separated out a little green and brown, because I couldn’t...

Made the bear soap, will post details in my bear soap post. Mixed lye and trying to get off my butt to go make it.

Today I finish cleaning up my salt soaptastrophe. I’ve got a bear tallow soap prepped that I’m making for a friend. Then I have a cute Trex embed that’s been sitting wrapped up for a couple weeks and that soap is mostly prepped. All of this was supposed to happen yesterday. But I got distracted...

Thank you. I wiped them out pretty well. I rarely use my dishwasher, I forget I have it. Would horrible things happen if I put a touch of dawn? Also, I’ve used the search function, can’t find. What is the name of the book of labeling laws?

It’s been an eat what I’ve got kind of week. Yesterday I ate wild turkey leg. It had to cook for 8 hours in the crock pot the day before, but it was delicious! Weird thing, the tendons are almost like bones. They remind me of popsicle sticks. I had a taco bowl with venison for dinner. Today...

I just started thinking about Halloween!

I’m using my dishwashing machine to wash soap dishes for the first time. It’s like a shower steamer for my house! It smells so good!

Every bar is a disaster in its own special way. 🤣 I guess I’m coming to terms with it a little. Maybe I can grate them at some point. But for now I’ve put them away. On a positive note, I used the dishwasher for the first time. (With soap molds and dishes) it worked great! Helped take the sting...

I’m glad you mentioned that! I use borax to grow crystals on art projects. That would NOT be good in soap! Also, following, I love this idea of borax in soap!

That seems like the most likely option. The EO is just sitting on top! It’s really crazy looking!! If it was just CO it would be solid by now. The salt part of them is already hardened. I think I”ll throw them on a tray and forget about them for now, maybe. I bought some more CO yesterday, so...

I’ve only used 3 EO/FO blends from them, but I love them! I wait until they have this sale every time now, and then I stock up. I scoured for the blends with a high amount of EO and good reviews. I love these in bath bombs as they really don’t have a synthetic smell much. (Totally subjective, I...

I don’t think I’d be able to physically stir it enough to reach emulsion with %100 salt PPO for that much soap. I can try with a small amount. But I’m not sure I have the stamina for it. It’s really thick. I keep playing over and over again in my mind. I had one of those weird time warp...
