Bummer... Thanks. Did you personally try it? For how long does it keep the soap from turning brown? Thanks in advance.

Since BCN hasn’t answered my email, I tried to call them this morning but it was an answering machine. I left a message but they didn’t call me back yet. I understand BCN’s VS is the best, but I really can pay this much for shipping... Which would you say is second and third best, so I can...

Yes, “a bit”. 😅 I wrote an email to them. I hope they can you a cheaper USPS option. I really hate UPS shipping to Canada, Not only am I SURE to be charged customs on top of these ridiculous fares (UPS makes sure they get their brokerage fees), if I happen not to be home at the moment of...

I wanted to buy the vanilla stabiliser from Bitter creek everybody recommends on this forum but... I’m in Quebec, Canada. Here are the only 2 shipping options to Canada for 2 x 16 oz bottles for vanilla stabiliser: UPS Expedited 93$ US UPS Express 1 day 102$ US I was ready for « expensive »...

Thank you for the reviews, it’s very helpful.

FOs take up much less space! Did you S.A.B.L.E. too?

After reading suggestions here I went on RE’s website and found this FO that’s would be a great success here in this house: https://rusticescentuals.com/Lemon-Pound-Cake.html The problem is I see that the FO is compatible with melt and pour soap, but I don’t see information about CP/HP soap...

Well, my first batch is done! Can’t wait to see how it’ll be compared to my CP soaps but it’s definitely soap! I was never this happy to see soap suds while doing dishes! It’s a breeze to clean up afterwards, compared to CP.

Thank you guys! Which me luck!

Did I read correctly “force the volcano”? 😳 Why?

Yes thanks! I find most people zap here test, isn’t it dangerous if there’s still lye left?

I’m not usually this impatient, but I was hoping for a reply/replies this morning because I was planning to cook today... If someone other than Dawni knows the answer to even just some of these questions, I would really appreciate it. 🙏

Questions: 1) if I’m adding my preheated superfatting oil at the end of the cook, do I add it first (before yogurt and/or water)? 2) when you add yogurt, is Greek yogurt OK? How much do you add? I found 1 TBSP ppo in some posts here. 3) do you warm the yogurt before you add it (and if so...

Thanks! I also learned something today... After reading online I was sure HP soap needed only 1 week to cure, but here I read it takes as long as CP! 🙀

I don’t have freezer paper, can I line a cardboard box with something else to use it as a mold? I have parchemin paper, Glad cling wrap (Saran wrap)... Thanks!

Oh... 😕 Thank you for letting me know. After reading a few pages on her website I felt she seemed to know what she was talking about. Darn, I regret buying the book then. Is it any good?

Thank you, I was aware for the pomace and she mentions the OO from Costco works fine. Have you taken a look at the link I sent?

Hi! I’m reading “Pure soapmaking” by Anne-Marie Faiola. I wondering what she means by “light” olive oil in the following sentence? Caution: the exception is “light” [italic in original text] olive oil, which often doesn’t work in soap at all. On her Soap Queen website, she wrote an article...

My dad is Iranian so I have lots is high quality saffron at home. I’ll make a powder from the pistils using the back of a spoon to crush the pistils into a powder. You could use a pestle and mortar but unless you wash up the mortar you might lose more saffron powder this way. Not sure if...

I’m in Canada and wanted to order from Brambleberry ... until I got to checkout. They use UPS (I HATE them, with them 1. you can be SURE you’ll get charged taxes and 2. they charge ridiculous brokerage fees on top of that) and it’s pretty expensive. If you want to use USPS, they have ONE...
