Thank you! I really like the Prusa. If you’re comfortable with really rolling up your sleeves and figuring things out a lot of people like the Creality Ender. I bought the Prusa after someone here (she no longer participates) recommended it and I’m so glad I went with it. And thanks for all your...

It is definitely not a problem if the rock is flat on one side. Two part silicone is not really that expensive and it doesn’t take much to make a rock mold. I see it on Amazon (in the US) for $15, or I know you can get it at hobby stores for around that too. Maybe a little more. Or, you can also...

So kind of you to say! Thanks. 🥰

That’s great! I’ve switched to HO sunflower. Olive oil is too expensive. My soapy thing today and yesterday was mixing about 110 kg of soap master batch oils. Yeah - it’s a lot. Happy to be done.

You’re so kind! I got them from Mad Micas. I got the set but hadn’t used them other than trying them out. More like - Me: “blah blah blah blah soap blah blah” Husband: “Good honey”

Thanks! I mixed in some neons with other colors. The soap was meant to look like northern lights. I’m not usually a neon soap lover but it suited the design. I was recognized for “best technique” for this soap. 🥰 (Me to husband: “I won a thing!” Husband: “Good, honey.”)

Me too 😃

Welcome to the March 2024 Challenge - Stone Soaps Hi all! This month’s challenge is to make soap that resembles a stone. As an extra design challenge the stone can represent where you live - for example, I live in the “Granite State” so I might try to replicate granite. Or if you’re from the...

I made some cardboard dividers for plastic containers - I used to use 4x4x12 cardboard boxes that closed inside these same plastic containers but if I needed to get more soap out it was time consuming and fiddly. The dividers are not perfect but I have the soap facing up and they are either 4 or...

Those are good prices - but I’m wary of the shipping since I’m on the east coast. A while ago, I guess 2022, Essential Wholesale was having a Black Friday sale. Their castor oil was crazily reduced and I ordered a large quantity but it was the same issue, I couldn’t see what the shipping would...

My coffee fragrances arrived, yippee! I did not read the directions and made many different designs. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Had a lot of fun and thought of @KiwiMoose who taught me the expression “faffing about” in this forum (we don’t use that expression where I live) because I did a LOT of that. Also because...

Oh boy, I did not read the directions carefully as I made lots of different designs. 😄 Anywho here’s one. I watched lots of latte creation vids and then quickly realized those techniques were not going to work with my soap batter. I made this soap with coffee infused sunflower oil and used...

I just bought some powdered goats milk at Walmart, I did a double take when I saw the price - it is $14 for a package that makes three quarts! Fresh GM is $5.44/quart. So powdered is only slightly less expensive.

It sounds like she has turned a corner - hoping for peace and recovery.

Oh help I’m waiting on some fragrance oils. Hopefully I’ll get them in time.

I will try it - that’s a clever idea.

@curlycoat2 also recommends this device for making infusions. Hmmm do I need another device for my soap business? My brain says no 🙄 but my heart says yes 😍

I got my scooper at a dollar store or something it’s nothing special. It’s good if it sort of has a narrow opening. I guess that’s obvious. The full face respirator sounds much better than my setup.
