Thanks newbie, I wasn't sure because I have seen them melt things..

I want to send a sample of eucalyptus spearmint fragrance oil from bb to a friend, if I put some on a paper and put it in a zip lock bag will it melt a hole in the bag?

Thanks everybody! when the neighbor walked in with the bag of weeds I thought "is this really happening" didn't know rather to laugh or cry this all happened in a matter of 10 minutes. I've got a couple more special soaps to make then after that its just going to be simple soap like I like lol...

LOL@ eye twitch...

Okay here we go... I made a blue cylinder of soap to make a star shaped loaf to embed into a special soap for a special boy that likes red white and blue. I took my time and had looked forward to making this masterpiece and that was no easy task because I’m a bounce off the walls type of...

I paid 5.95 total for a scraper with a blade in it and 5 extra blades. so 6 blades delivered to my door.

Today I got all the boards cut for a planer and the blade is in its proper place. I was interrupted so tomorrow I will put it together permanently. I bought a 4" window razor/scraper on ebay and it came with 5 extra blades it was cheaper to buy the tool set than it was to buy replacement blades...

the calculations are spot on...today I tested it and used 12 inches of my 36 inch mold and it was perfect...

Thanks Lee and IrishLass I appreciate your input, after making my mold it does look a little shallow and I don't want my bars of soap to look wimpy. when I made my mold I started with 3" sides then thought I better make them 2" so the soap would be level with the top - Watching soap videos it...

Has anyone made a mold using Length of mold x Width of mold x Height of mold x .40 =oil weight and if so how accurate was it? Also how would you calculate size of mold according to a soap recipe? I did make a hinged mold today it is 36 length x 3.5 width x 2 high but have no clue if there is a...

I put 2 tablespoons of paprika in a teabag and put it in 5 ounces of olive oil, I'm not sure how much to add to a pound of soap, the whole 5 oz. or a few tablespoons? can you suggest a starting point, I am looking for a pastel orange... or maybe you can tell me if it gets darker or lighter after...

Well I unmolded my soap (its been 24 hrs.) and the ends were perfect just like Dixie described but the middle of the cylinder was sticky and small chunks stuck to the liner I used, anyway I patched it best I could and dusted it with cocoa and centered it in a larger cylinder mold, poured my...

Thank-you Dixiedragon that helps a lot...

Thank you Susie it is about half olive oil, I would be more than glad to share the recipe if it were mine but I got it from a friend and I'm not sure if she would approve or not, we discussed everything but I failed to ask about the hardness, beings I am pouring another color over it I thought...

I am not sure how hard or soft my soap should be to remove it from the mold, I have put it in a large Christmas paper tube approx.2" and want to unmold it asap so I can put it in a larger cylinder mold and pour soap over it to make a color ring around it, also how hard should it be to cut it...

I haven't made soap yet (have had fun shopping though). Just last night I printed a chart of oil-shelf life-SAP-usage-oil properties-and attributes and I must say it felt good to read your post and recognize your canola post LOL (don't take much to thrill me) and good idea to reserve a bar and...

Thank you Susie, I thought about that (making 2 half batches) after I commented.

How would you add paprika oil to just a portion of you soap batter? I would like to split the soap in half and only color half. I have the infused oil just not sure how to add it to half the soap batter.
