    my soap is thicker than pumpkin puree

    Also, how long are you SB'ing? 1-2 mins isn't an extremely quick trace..but you should be doing more stirring than SB'ing...

    Floating stuff in water when testing

    Need to know your process a bit more so we can narrow it down. How old is the batch?

    Gunky hair blues

    Guess Im going to be one to not suggest a shampoo. I had terrible build up on my hair from years of using commercial shampoos..finally I took one of my homemade bars {not formulated as a shampoo bar..just my regular body shower bars} and used it on my hair..my hair was incredibly clean...

    What happens if....?

    Guess I completely missed the point..I thought the OP didn't want the swirl to go all the way thru the soap...guh

    Shipping charges on EO/FO's can be ridiculous! Is this unique to my suppliers?

    I was also going to post about Mike's flat rate shipping..he's fast too {ships same day usually if you get your order in before he leaves the shop..he actually grabbed one of my orders and ran by the PO to ship it} I also wont deal with companies who make money off of shipping..I know what it...

    What happens if....?

    That technique will cause some overlapping into the other color naturally but not by much, and by working shallow you wont bother the layers below.

    Shelf life for FO's?

    Some FO's will have a color change but still be ok to use...the only rule I use is if it doesn't smell the same way it used to when I first purchased it, I may not be so quick to use it..I have a few that are beginning to smell a bit different than they did so I may end up just doing a small...

    Confetti drop swirl

    Awesome effect! I have yet to try a confetti soap, but its on my to do list..I have several baggies of soap I shredded many many months back just for that but haven't done it yet. Those are really really nice :)

    My First Batch: 80% Lard Cold Process Soap

    I got slime!

    Im thinking the high OO with the addition to whatever is in the Crisco, which has made a difference in the cure from the 100% OO soap you did as well. I'd give it another test at maybe 3 months or longer

    Is this a typo?

    Wow..I would've thought of a diff name for that too..the cauldron name would be cool.. Lots of scents that have some names I dont care for...some just stupid and some just downright nasty..and the darndest thing is they dont smell anything like the name describes...I mean come onnnn...Monkey...

    Ylang Ylang - can anyone explain the smell?

    Add me to the hate category for cilantro {I cant stand being in the room with it, and if I smell it in the produce isle at the store I run away}...but I LOVE Indian and Mexican food....weird no?
