    First time using FO's......

    OK, I made another MF batch (MF from Natures Wonder) and I didn't stick blend, I just stirred it for a while. It did thicken up very quickly but not so much that I couldn't use it properly.

    First time using FO's......

    First time using FO's You know what? I made four more batches today and had no problems. I think what I did wrong was dumped the whole lot of FO in at once and then whipped it. It hardened really quickly. The rest of the batches I added the FO a little at a time and stirred with the stick...

    First time using FO's......

    Hi There, I am a soap 'newbie' and have been making all of my batches with EO's (and a very small amount at that). I only did those batches because I had to wait two weeks for my FO's. They are all delightful and I LOVE them apart from the no smell thing. Well, my FO's came yesterday and I...
