Does anyone have any experience in usage % of persimmon oil for scent? I can't find any safe usage references.

The mushrooms are 3-4 years old. I believe I bought them on Ebay from Nichole(?) Molds.

Interesting. I will try with a few of these & CP

Pink 'Kiss & Pour' peonies

I was so intrigued by the "Kiss" challenge... I have been gathering these peony molds for about a year &1/2 as I find them. The only one I have used for CP is the largest (which would be the last in the peony progression). I used FO Stormy Nights cuz it won't behave in CP but I love this scent...

Use that medium Dalai rate box-don't care if it's 12-14 lbs. Let me know total costs.... Thanks for doing this.

Definitely interested. Can't guess how much is spoken for but if you have 3 to 6 lbs still, please chalk me up for them & let me know how much and where to send PayPal. Also, thanks so much.

I am interested in 2#

I'm sorry that I have forgotten which thread I read recently about using soy wax -which, what kind & different percentages BUT if scent retention was addressed, I missed it. 5 days ago I tried a recipe I pulled from that thread using 20% soy wax 415 gw. I made it using the same % of scent that...

Andrew, I don't how much you have remaining, but I will buy whatever you have.

Thanks so much for that link. Very helpful.

Update: I had 4 of the silicone peony molds (@ $12.00 each + shipping) and quite disappointed that I wouldn't be using them. Today I bought a hand held garment steamer (to take up to the cottage). When I got home, the thought occurred to me to try steaming those soaps. VERY happy to report they...

Okay. This is the 2nd batch. Only difference between the batches was the addition of some mica in this one (to make it easier to see the difference between the 2). There is still some slight a shingles on the flower molded soaps but 90% better this time. I read the previous conversations and...

Shaved/chunked and tempered 5 pounds of unrefined cocoa butter. Not my favorite task but makes things going forward sooooo much easier.

Isg-thanks for that link but this batch was poured into individual molds. Some plastic, ALL those ashed were in silicone molds. They came OUT of the molds ashed. I'm baffled. I remade this recipe this afternoon but sprayed the silicone molds with 91% alcohol just before pouring. Will see what...

All these soaps are the same batch, same fo. The lighter ones were poured in silicone molds. Recipe was high CO/Cocoa Butter w/goatsmilk. Any ideas why the silicone molds a shed & plastic didn't ? All were unmolding at the same time.

Friday and Saturday, I received 4 boxes from different suppliers. Can I mention how impressed I am that all 4 used materials that are easily recycled or composted? I started to whinge at the last box with what looked like Styrofoam peanuts but which melt in water! May be corn starch. Nothing...

I am going thru "The Soapmakers Companion " (a Christmas gift from a friend ) and see grapefruit seed extract.....spent roughly 2 hours online this afternoon trying to look at this. Any comments from anyone that does regularly use this?

I am getting lots of emails from suppliers, some with Dec. Sale items. But I have a "wish list" as well as a shortage of soaping staples. Any thoughts on whether to go ahead and place my orders now or should I wait for "inventory" sales?
