I used this site all the time for ideas on different scent blends. I see they've taken this part of their site down and I'm not finding anything that even begins to compare. What are you all using as a blending calculator now?

I have had that same problem when using plastic wrap and I read to use a piece of cardboard and towel to insulate instead. Either my cardboard was too flimsy or my towel made it sag or a combination of both. It's big chunks. I scraped it of the cardboard the best I could and pressed it back in...

When I covered the mold, little did I know, the cover was touching the soap. I just went to peek at it and when I lifted up the cover, it pulled up chunks of soap with it. I'm taking this as a sign that I need to order up some roving wool and go ahead and felt up some of my soaps. :oops:
