how about wrapping some wooden dowels in press and seal and putting them in the soap if using a slab mold maybe try gluing or screwing the dowels to a board that you can add the dowels to the soap and have a little weight on the dowel to hold them in place

that was great

thanks--I have been thinking about this. I lived for 18 years in a house with VERY hard water and never had any issues with the pipes and I used mainly handmade soaps. not saying it doesn't happen but maybe something else is going on with the pipes. so maybe if I am asked again I could address...

ok thanks--I know the lady I talked to tonight said someone told her that--not that she experienced it and she was nervous to use my soap much--she is a neighbor and we have the same water. So between store bought and handmade--handmade can cause issues?

in the last month I have had 2 people tell me they cant use handmade soap cuz it will plug up their drains. I have explained that once the lye and oil mix it creates a chemical reaction called saponification and the lye is no longer lye and the oil is no longer oil--it is soap. is there...

I made 2 also--one 1" and the other 1.25. no handles on either and yeah they work fine but yours is fancier :)

I made a double batch of Lilac and one of Fairy Gardens--I screwed up the fairy gardens though when I cut this morning it was crumbly--I thought I hadn't used enough of one of the oils but wasnt sure--now I am sure. I had planned on being done making soap for the year :( I am going to remake it...

great job--I love the handles, I never even thought of that

you could use an oil like safflower to make your soap whiter. and you can get micas at Micas and More--Nurture--or BrambleBerry--Mad Micas (these are only the ones I know of). if you want to go with natural coloring I would do an internet search on those (there is a lot of info out there on...

I really wished I could smell this one--I have never smelled palmarosa and ylang/ylang every other day I like/dislike but I like the other scents

made my first 5# batch--plus it was GM. split it into 2 different molds with different colors and scents and gelled. Cut one and about to cut the other one. I actually had to use the heating pads on them. it was nice to get 2 batches done at once

Deleted by me

it will be interesting to see how much more it discolors. it is actually very pretty now, love your design

I have been working with soap that is over a year old--it is fugly but oh my it is the best soap--so glad it didn't get rid of it. and the scent is still strong

I love when someone comes on asking where to find scents :) I always hear names of new companies :) . I like micas and get mine from either Nurture of Micas and More--I like I that I can get some of my scents while ordering micas. I use lard, coconut and safflower and I get them in the stores...

that's what I did too and it was so fun to watch the swirls come, I didn't make my batter super white though so swirling was weird to do. Very pretty soaps :) I am fond of confetti soaps and I really like yours

the only issue I have is that alot of my FOs don't allow using enough scent to put in them

will let you know!! it would be nice to make for both as it is something that is pretty easy to whip up. I wonder how they will hold up at the summer markets though. I like the fact that the dollar store containers are see through cuz nobody here knows what a lotion bar is :) . I had a tester...

I used the round ones of these and only put 1.4 ounces in them so they were about 3/4 full (?) . I just started using these but when they harden just tip over and pop on the bottom and they come out. I agree with dibbles they are a good price. I have a market on Sat so I am curious as to how...
