I abandoned my recently made corrugated plastic DIY dividers and made cardboard ones again. The plastic probably works well in a silicone liner/wood mold, but it moves around too much in a freezer paper lined wood mold. The cardboard ones stay put and are much easier to make. Lesson learned. Now...

I am just noticing and reading this thread and now I'm second guessing my decision to order TD from Nurture instead of mica (I've never used either one before). Question: I keep reading that some of you pre-dissolve your TD in water and store it in a squeeze bottle. Wouldn't this need a...

I don't make the Castile version. I use 85 olive, 10 coconut, 5 castor. Mine bubbles fine and is the only recipe I've found (so far) that even my super sensitive face can tolerate after a 2 month cure. I don't use pomace, so maybe that makes a difference.

What brand of charcoal is that and how much did you use? That's way blacker than I can ever get. Looks great!

I did inventory to make sure I have everything I need prepped and ready to soap when my FOs and TD arrive this week. I've got to check my supply of lye and go buy a sheet of corrugated plastic to make reusable dividers because unless I can figure out a way to modify my cheese cutter or DIY a...

Yes, I strained the sediment with a coffee filter on the next batch and it looks like it's the baking soda so I just added it back to the lye solution and used it. I also forgot to use the icebath I normally use for my lye solution, so that could be why my soap isn't as light white as normal...

Thank you @A-Polly! I ordered it and am praying the shipping speed is faster than last time I ordered from BB!

This one looks promising. What usage rate do you prefer for this one? I don't want it nauseatingly strong but I also don't want it disappearing.

Can someone who's used both compare these for me? I've had Seventh Heaven and love the scent, but it doesn't stick in CP so I'm wondering how All Souls Day compares. TIA

FYI: Bitter Creek requires a $25 minimum order and there's no way to reach customer service on the phone and no online chat option that I can find despite the phone recording referring me to one.

Yes, but my understanding is that the discoloration caused by FOs can migrate into the unscented neighboring colors.

The question will be, how fast is shipping? I'll have to call and ask. I need to make it this weekend at the latest.

Thanks for the reminder! I'm scrambling to get all the sudden orders made so they'll be cured in time!

Do you have a favorite FO that this definitely works well with? I need tried and true, no surprises. I'm looking at Warm Vanilla Sugar and Vanilla Bean Noel. Not sure which is best and which supplier to choose but I think either scent would work. I'm also looking at one a little outside the...

Doesn't have to be straight vanilla scent but something along the lines of vanilla or a blend that includes notes of vanilla. I'm not confident in working with something that discolors and DIY dividers that I'll have to make for this design are a bear, so I need to get it right the first time.

I need a vanilla scent that doesn't discolor for an order I need to get made ASAP. Any favorites?

I wondered because I already have a liner from them in my Amazon cart and wondered about the quality. Thank you

Beautiful! Can I ask where you ordered your liners?

I used Fruit of the Earth brand from Walmart to make ZNSB last night. I disolved my sea salt and baking soda in water, then added aloe. All was transparent and beautiful. Then I added the lye. Cloudy wasn't a surprise, but the silt-like sediment at the bottom of the cup after the lye solution...

I cut my latest batch of ZNSB. Good news is the new stickblender worked well and even though there are a few tiny bubbles, there are vastly less than before and could just be user error. Unfortunately, I managed to mess this batch up, too. I'm guessing the sort of swirly chopstick thing I did is...
