What Soapy said. I'd love to see you guys do an experiment and soap together at each other's houses and see what happens. That would have been my first thought if it happened to me. Have you guys ever soaped together? Or you just do it at your own place and compare results

Actually that price isn't that bad. Thank you! How much you do generally use? And do I need to use anything to anchor it? I know I've seen people say some EO's fade if used alone

Can verify about the wax paper sticking. I didn't have any freezer paper or cling wrap to put across the top of my unlidded mold before I wrapped it in towels and the towel pressed the wax paper onto the top of the soap. Stuck like hell and pulled some of the soap off the loaf when I tried to...

Oh it exists! You just have to have really good hearing :dance:

To be honest I've been puttering around my house in silence a lot more recently, though when I soap it tends to be later in the evening with my daughter possibly asleep so that it often a contributing factor. But if I'm off and cleaning it's either music from Spotify or an Audiobook. Spotify...

Have y0u used it? A lot of the reviews say that it's a good scent but doesn't really smell like Earl Grey tea

I love the smell of Earl Grey tea and I was really looking forward to making a soap that smelled of it. I bought Nurture's Bergamot and Honey FO and was very disappointed when the bottle arrived because all that I can smell from it is the sweet, almost cloying honey smell with absolutely no...

#But Suds Persisted I totally get this. My job is the same. I've had the past two days off from work and it feels like all I've gotten done in that time is sleep and try to recover from my work weekend. Then tonight it's back to the same again. At least I have the weekend off. Today turned...

I didn't try it today (today was hibernation day for me) but I did cut mine. I know that I'm not eligible to submit to it yet but in theory, it sounds like a fairly easy technique, so I decided I wanted to give it a shot anyway just for myself on Friday morning. Mine was not as much as an...

:eek: You just want to make me do math, don't you?

If I did it was not intentional, but admittedly it might be a possibility. I have noticed that my scale occasionally will blip after it's been zeroed reducing things by -.04, but most of the time I can catch it by re-weighing to make sure the two numbers match. I can't remember if I did this...

You're welcome! I'm of the firm belief that it's better to laugh at my mistakes and learn from them then get myself too upset over them. And, well, it was true. So long bright candy colors. I hardly knew ye. As for the less even layers I had thought about that, but since I had split all of my...

I'm arguing with myself today. I want to make another batch of soap, was even thinking about making two 2lbs loaves but part of me wants to wait and save my supplies. My other three batches still have at least another 3 weeks of curing to do before I can really see how well they came out. But...

I'm only three batches made and three months of studying into this hobby myself, so feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt, but I'm curious why you're adding everything before getting to trace instead of after? Unless I'm reading that wrong then forgive me. I'm always afraid I'm...

I just got glittered bombed by Mad Micas. I put in my first order from there for some bathbomb colors and one jar of glitter and I was so excited when it got here. And then I opened the box and I could see it and I was just like "... on noes" It is EVERYWHERE. In the box, on my hands. The...

Ha ha! Thanks. Since there were no notes on what the FO might do I split the ingredients 3 ways and soaped each layer individually so that #1 I could abort and save some of my oils if things started accelerating too much too fast and #2 to give the bottom layer time to set up before the next one...

That is some good quality advise. Thank you! I'll order some of that before I try again

Hmmm... I don't think I've read anywhere about a vanilla stabilizer. Got any articles or recommendations for what to use?

My third batch of soap has turned into my first bit of a disappointment. Not because of any real problems but more from color not behaving. Got myself really excited for this one because I found a Candy Corn FO that is 100% spot on and since a lot of places are doing Halloween themed soaps I...

I cut my honeysuckle soap. It was more of a color test that I decided I wanted to smell pretty at the same time. Pleased how it came out, though I'm a little sad the gold didn't come out more, well... gold. I think the cream works though.
