true but mine are exactly 1" and I use a wire cutter too--I would think we are talking about the same mold. I "glued" 2 end pieces together the other day and just went and measured the bar and it is 1" so without cutting ends I would get 9 1" bars sorry--I understand you were just showing John...

I use 31 ounces and get 8 full bars but wouldn't it matter what size mold you are using? I use the silicone molds from Nurture and the size they are I only get 8 full bars--but if I made a solid colored bar I could probably get close to 9 bars with no end pieces but with swirling ya just about...

I am not a fan of lavender but its ok mixed--maybe I will just do half and half--I only make 4 bars at a time. thanks Dawni!!! on second thought I will do the 3-2 parts, I need to keep reminding myself it isn't for me

is the first picture of end pieces? looks like I get when I have silicone rash

i unmolded my second "last batch" of unicorn soaps got 2 out of 6 that didn't break---not a good way to end my soaping for the year but I WILL NOT try again. thanks for this Dawni--you posted t the perfect time for me. I was planning on making lavender lotion bars this afternoon, these saw...

orange/anise and I agree grapefruit/orange/lemon is good too

I have started (finally) tossing the tiny slivers--i have a couple shoe boxes of ends and what nots--and I want to try some of them. I still have 2-8 ends at each sink

sorry for so many pics but I wanted to show it all

maybe--I usually mix to emulsion real light trace. I threw some of the single molds into the freezer and took them out this morning and unmolded (of course frozen they came out ok) but looking at them they appear to have separated part way down which would explain why they rose up a bit. I...

I have seen them I shops in central mn too--but I agree its not something I would do

gotcha. I have always wanted to try that swirl--the only thing I have done with my slab is column pours. cant wait to see pics of cuts I just finished my last market soap--hope it turns out this time!! now I am thinking of how to make baskets for sale--I have quite a few fruity soaps so am...

oh no!!!! hope its an easy fix, good luck!!!

I thought about that and then remembered how when I drill wood sometimes the wood takes of on me and all i could picture was my soap spinning around :)

very pretty but I am not quite sure what you are talking about with the soap not making it to the lines?? I would love to see the cut

I round my bars down to the nearest whole number--most of the bars I sell for 4oz are closer to 4.5 or higher. but to be honest I am the only one I have seen around here that even bothers to put a weight on the soap, that includes the handmade in the stores. it bothers me somewhat but I can...

still to dark to take outside pics but I am wondering if this could happen with a soap that isn't gelled and cut too soon? I have been doing research on here

I wave my hand around under my nose really fast and breath in deeply

I will take some tomorrow morning--they come out better if I take them outside

no its a FO I have used quite a bit and I don't think it over heated either--it is kinda chalky looking. I had thought I didn't use enough oil which to my thinking would make it look chalky and dry but I though it would be zappy. its only 2 days old and no zap

I made a soap that it cracked on the top like a cobblestone pavement and when I took it out of the molds it broke up and it also expanded in the mold (I actually used two different molds and the single mold is the one it raised out of it a bit) its the recipe I always use and I tested it for...
