For CP, (haven't done this HP) you can also hide ash with mica. All you do it mix mica with a little oil- and I mean a little and kind of squirt it on to the top of your soap and then texture your tops or swirl it around a bit and that will do a pretty good job of hiding ash. The mica also won't...

Which is what I should have done and advocate people do now. LOL Do as I say not as I do. :D I used a Honeysuckle FO- why??? No idea...other than my aunt loves honeysuckle so I was thinking about giving her a bar at the time. Noone got a bar except the garbage. The recipe was probably fine...

Was it clear after you stirred it last night?

Oh yeah, I remember mine 12 years later. LOL....I'm sure yours turned out better than mine. :) I'm here to ask for pics too...love them. :)

I bet that would work with a crinkled bag on top- then maybe to get more texture move it around so you have the peaks? Looks like it could work. :D Nice looking soap.

I've soaped them both and there was no difference. I just adjusted in soap calc. Soap was still fine. :) Hope this helps.

I do the same thing. :) Like Judy between the kitchen and various bathrooms- I have 10-12 around. :mrgreen:

LOL! Those cakes look amazing. I suck with a piping bag so I couldn't do them. I have tried and have had so many epic fails I just surrendered. :) In a pinch, if you have a Sam's club membership- their Grade A Olive Oil works well and around me pretty cheap.

Candle Cocoon never heard of them but I'll check them out. I always forget about Indiana Candle Supply and they are close to me. Thanks for the reminder.

Absolutely!! Safe being the key word. Unfortunately- the buying public (mostly) doesn't know that it could start a fire. It freaks me out. I'm mostly a soaper but I do my candles here and there for family mostly though every time I gift them- people think I should sell. As we know- gifting and...

Paraffin or a para soy blend I came up with. I hate straight soy... :oops:

Bitter Creek South and Peak.

CB 135 is a horrible wax...sorry it just is. I could barely get a throw in it after 5 years. It burns nice though with CD wicks. You definitely want to use 1oz PP of wax if not 1.5 depending. I would let it cool also to about 90-100. It should make it smoother. Though after the first burn...

I recently saw a person on Ebay selling triple scented soy candles. Now normally I don't like soy but was intrigued at the triple scenting... Umm this person in copy actually put that they use 3oz of FO in 1 pound of soy wax. I wonder if she knows that pretty much this FO will ignite at 3oz...

Ya know- your right. Every time I see people who love cp soap in their hair, it's thicker coarser curly even. I have fine thin hair so it just doesn't agree with me. I did give it a valiant effort though. LOL

Yep you should be fine for a rebatch after you see the inside. You can pretty much save any soap rebatching- it's so much easier when the soap is fresh as well. I would see what it does in the next few days.

Gelled soap can be cut earlier since the heat helps it to saponify faster so it's harder quicker. Gelled soap deepens colors like Mica- the soap is more translucent looking I guess. It's hard to describe. Gelled soap can burn off fragrance more so than non gelled soap though so use your stronger...

Ballyhoo is my favorite (Luci is amazing and so smart- good thing we live close)...don't use high ph soap on your hair. I learned that lesson the hard way. Ballyhoo solid condish is great- love it. I haven't tried Get Lathered though to be fair. The shampoo is nice but I can't cheat on Luci and...

This might be going against the grain but here goes: CP soap is not good for your hair. It just isn't . I wanted to love it in my hair and I used it for years and would always have breakage. I stopped silicones, protein, sls, etc...my hair broke so bad that someone asked me who took scissors...

You can get an Escali scale on amazon for less than 20 bucks I think. It measures up to 11 pounds if you are starting with small batches. I love both of mine. ;)
