I got an unexpected present in the mail today. It's a shiny, silver and blue spinning ring. It's beautiful. This is the kind of surprise I enjoy. :smalltree:

This, too.

I prefer CP over HP mainly due to aesthetics. You have a lot more creative freedom with doing designs in CP than you do with HP. I'm also not a huge fan of the 'rustic' look that seems to go along with HP soap. If you only want to make single color or uncolored soaps, then it doesn't matter really.

I know alcohol is one of the solvents used to dissolve soap for homemade MP, and at the concentrations cologne is mixed at you'd have to use a significant amount, which might be enough alcohol to make your soap behave weirdly. I don't think there's a good way to remove the alcohol without also...

The answer to all of your questions is yes. There are various kinds of plastic filament you can get for home model 3d printers. PLA is the preferred plastic for hobbyists, it's (eventually) biodegradable and is made from plants. It's available in a wide range of colors, so you can print in the...

That's a feeling I know so, so well. Your printer use 1.75mm filament or 2.85? I've had a heck of a time, mine uses 2.85mm, and lots of those really awesome colors I can't FIND in the right diameter. Especially on Amazon. I'll probably be buying quite a lot of my filament in the future from...

Do you mean the printer? It's footprint is about 10" deep by 18" wide by right at 24" tall with the spool holder raised and locked into position. If you mean the Deadpool box, it's a lot smaller. 3" deep by 4" wide by 1.75" tall. The next big thing on my wishlist is a filament recycler...

What filament are you using? Those look gorgeous!

I haven't actually even touched Fusion360 yet. I've been getting my printer settings dialed in and printing lots of stuff! I made a ton of Christmas ornaments for family, and 30 fidget cube toys for the pre-K class at the elementary my younger niece and nephew go to. Right now I'm making...

Honestly, I don't care if my molds are pretty, so long as they do what they're designed to do. :mrgreen:

Ah, that makes sense. Nope, coconut oil goes solid at room temp here in the winter.

Thanks for the replies! Great link, Obsidian. This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Would regular coconut oil work just as well in your recipe, BattleGnome? I have plain coconut, but not fractionated. Or hazelnut, for that matter. DH doesn't have any problem with acne, or seem...

Did a forum search and didn't come up with anything hugely useful. Swiftcraftymonkey also came up blank. I'm looking to make a beard oil for DH. Anyone have a recipe they like for such a product? It's probably going to be left unscented, since he tends to either not like scents, or not be able...

Here are mine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XF1C46C/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I started with a set similar to yours, cmzaha. They weren't stable enough for my liking, because the bottom is so small compared to the overall bowl size.

The 'ounces per pound of oils' measurements are usually indicating a weight measure, not volume. Though, when you're only dealing with an ounce or two of fragrance oil, weight and volume are not too different in terms of total amount.

Amyris is much lighter smelling than sandalwood (I have both). It also has a sweet note that sandalwood doesn't have, and doesn't hit the woody notes nearly as much. I like amyris in its own right, but don't really think it makes a really good sub for sandalwood (in spite of what vendors and...

The biggest question is, how do each of the oils feel on your skin? I've gone through all of my oils and rubbed just a bit in on a forearm, just so I could get some idea of how greasy feeling it is, how it leaves my skin feeling, and just in general whether or not I like it as a leave on. If you...
