    DOS on dark soap

    Does anyone have some examples of DOS on a dark colored soap they could share? I haven't been able to find any online regarding what it would look like on say a black or dark brown soap. I saw a couple spots of DOS on soaps I made in December, but all of those soaps are light enough to see the...

    Is this a fragrance issue?

    I had this happen with rustic essentials white peach sangria...almost immediately induced and fully separated and no amount of beating it into submission with the stick blender or hot process hero helped. It was such a lost cause and to make it worse it was the first time my mom was seeing me...

    Sept 2018 SMF Challenge - Carved Soap Designs Entry Thread

    Here's my September entry: Enso Enlightenment. I poured the top layer first with a tree ring pour (unsure of proper pour name) to create the blue/purple Enso design in the black then poured the base with The same pour in a graduation of yellow/orange/pink. The lotus on top finishes the zen...

    Soap cutter reviews?

    That's the way im leaning, I like the 1 1/4 size bar but some molds I like to go thinner on the size. I really like cutting single bars (something very calming about it), but I also like them to be consistent in size :)

    Soap cutter reviews?

    hello! I was hoping to get thoughts on what multi bar cutter and single bar cutter everyone likes. My mom has amazingly offered to get me one of each for my b-day and there are a lot of options out there! I'm leaning towards the powder coated metal ones, but am open to see what everyone thinks...

    Aug 2018 SMF Challenge - Dancing Funnel Entry Thread

    Here's my entry, scented with cherry mist. The fragrance did very well and smells like childhood! The technique is fun, but the planing took some engineering ingenuity by using bar clamps, paint stir sticks and magazines. Enjoy!

    What soapy mistake have you made today?

    Oh no! That's terrible! I completely understand, it's an "imagine my surprise...." Moment for sure. Hopefully no damage to the worktop! Nope, that would be my move last night! Full container of AC over the table and floor...I have hippy feet now per my bf lol I thought glitter was bad to clean up!

    What soapy mistake have you made today?

    Lol, Marijuana is the favorite of some here...I personally prefer my asiatic lillies, but to each their own . It's just strange it doesn't smell like purple cow after the cure. I think this spurred my fragrance test experiment lol.

    What soapy mistake have you made today?

    It most definitely was a mess! but it gave me more insight that I need to slow down and do a thorough assessment before I start. Good to know about the oil cloth and ceramic! Funny story, I keep my spatulas separate from the cooking ones and one morning my bf wondered why his eggs tasted like...

    What soapy mistake have you made today?

    Well today I thought I would test some fragrances....in soap....ended up testing them on the table instead.... After BF graciously helped me number a bunch of plastic cups (first mistake) and line them up on a sheet tray (lucky save), I proceeded to add the fragrances to their designated...

    Aug 2018 SMF Challenge - Dancing Funnel Pour

    Sunriseart, My thought on mine that crumbled was because it wasn't fully emulsified when I started because mine wasn't crumbly throughout, non crumbly area doesn't zap but the rest does. Measurements were accurate so I must not have had full emulsification. The second attempt was good, I took...
