I use my planer and skim the air bubbles off the surface. Wire cutters are great, but do leave air bubbles.

@AliOop I haven't posted pics of this soap yet. I ended up making a different soap for the contest. @AliOop this is my awful 😞 soap. The darker tan was dark green like the trees when I poured the batter in the loaf and the orange was a light cream color.

@AliOop I cut them yesterday and they still look horrible. Only the outside edges are green ( light green even though I used a dark green mica).

I had two days off so I made 4 batches of soap. I had ordered several Fall, Christmas, and assorted fos and wanted to try them out. I am thrilled with three of them, but the one I made using NG Christmas Cabin was a total dud. It was originally going to be my entry for the shapes contest, but...

Make them a normal size so they aren't awkward to hold.

The NG site said no discoloration for this fo. The reviews had mixed results. When I used the fo I assumed it would discolor, but I had a small bit of hope. I used green mica in half the batter and TD in the other half for a swirl in hopes that it would either hold the colors or become brown and...

I used my loaf mold to make a small swirled soap that I cut into strips. It was leftover soap from making various embeds like the pumpkins and leaves on top of this soap. I layered them in the soap. I used NG Pumpkin Crunch Cake fo. I put sweet potato puree (baby food) and goats milk. I piped...

What you get with 3" PVC pipe and a well-behaved FO. I used NG Clean Type fo, TD, Blue Iris mica, and Azure mica for colorants. The lighter blue was from mixing TD with Azure mica

I use my glass stuff for baking and plastic/stainless for soaping. That way I don't mix them up.

Bay Rum Soap. NG Bay Rum fo. Accelerated and discolored as the NG site said it would. Used copper and black graphite mica. Smells good. Had cracks in the top that I smooshed back together. Used coconut milk and used mango butter in my recipe.

I have my embed molds made. Not the soap, just the molds. Just trying to figure out what fo to use. I only have two days a week to play with soap. And I have too many ideas.

I have a peppermint fo that I think smells like chalky toothpaste. I just don't like it, but everyone I know thinks it smells awesome.

I shop online most of the time. Perhaps more ppl are just staying home and doing that.

My advice is to get the stick blender.

@Fireside Walmart sells that same product and has a full description on their website

Just finished cutting Juniper breeze. Haven't steamed, bevelled or polished yet. This is my favorite so far. I love the smell of the fo and liked how the layered type swirl came out.(tilted mold on side and poured thin soap strips, lowering the tilt until I had to put the mold flat) I used dark...

Issues and observations of my soapy cupcakes. The chocolate fudge fo is supposed to discolor to a dark brown. That is great, but I added cocoa powder anyway. After I poured the base it is a light beige color. So I hope it darkens to match the fragrance. I couldn't understand why the raspberry...

I made cupcakes today. I used NG chocolate fudge for the base, colored with cocoa powder. I used NG raspberry for the pink mica colored section. I used NG lavender luxury for the lavender colored section. I also made a soap loaf scented with NG juniper breeze that I will cut and post pictures...

I started back in 2012 soaped a few years and then stopped. Now I have started back up again. I didn't realize how much I missed making soap. I absolutely love doing it. Creating recipes, coming up with designs, some things work, some don't. Some fragrances are great, some are a challenge...

That was so long ago, I don't even remember how I found this site.
