Thanks for the info. That was a pretty thorough test, from 1 - 95% without liking any of it. Darn!

Thanks for that info. I don't know why but I couldn't find the part of the video that talked about how much sugar was used so this is very helpful.

Looks like a fun project. How much (what percentage) of sugar did you use in your recipe?

Thanks. I was a bit nervous but I think it worked out ok.

Thanks. I did that too because I remember you said it would work, so I crossed my fingers and just did it! Now I have the volume figured out so next time I use this new mold it will be better.

I added a layer and it still needed something so I made the top layer kind of a confetti layer. The bottom was an attempt at a drop swirl, but I think I dropped it too much. Next time I'll do better. It's ok, but not what I envisioned.

Good to know. Thanks.

I actually know how to find the volume of a vessel, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that I saw the stated capacity, which was incorrect. From now on I'm not going to multiply by anything. I'll find the volume and then if there's extra batter, I'll simply put that in some smaller...

Thanks. I didn't double check the math when the description read "Capacity: up to 6 lbs." I didn't question it, and should have done the math myself to double check, so now I know!

Thanks so much. I'm going to do all of the above and hope for the best.

Thanks. I feel more like it is a possibility now! I'll do it today.

Thanks. Now I know and will calculate myself from now on!

Sigh. I bought the BB 18 bar soap mold liner, which said it held 96 ounces of soap. So, dummy me, I didn't question that. I made my batch recipe that totaled just under 96 ounces, and - guess what - it only filled the mold about 2/3 full! I thought I did something wrong, but then finally did...

My dad's family was from the Flandreau area. When I was 16 I visited my grandfather's farm and had fun chasing the sheep! Good memories.

Thanks. I'm trying it today. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks KiwiMoose. So a lower melt temp would be probably better than a higher one do you think? I bought some to make candles with, but then I've been reading about everyone who likes to use it in bar soap, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so we'll see how this goes: I have been reading a lot on the forum about what soy wax to use in skin care products and most folks go with 415 and pointed out several points in its favor, so I googled soy waxes and find that 415 is pure with no additives. So...

Thanks for showing me what they look like. I think I will get some!

Where did you get the spout pouring caps? It's so annoying to have all those drips when pouring oils.

I recently went to a candle supply place and asked several questions. I'm making a container candle, so they said to use 80% coconut wax (not oil), 19% soy wax and only 1% beeswax. Does anyone have any thoughts about these ratios? I have not used this ratio before and seemed surprised by the...
