    Something wrong with my recipe? SEIZE!!

    120 degrees? Just a shade on the warm side there, and with a floral fragrance oil too. Looks like it might be a double-whammy. Lots of the reviews on WSP's site regarding this FO says it's seizing soap.

    Really Needing the Power of Prayers Again

    When I was a kid and had bronchitis my grandad did the same for me while I was staying home from school sick with it. He was always an asthmatic and used his nebulizer regularly. "Here, breathe on this". I couldn't have been any older than 10 myself. She'll remember that help years from now...

    Fossilized Amber EO

    So I've been working on fandom scent blends and have found precisely the scent I want to use for a blend in Eden's Fossilized Amber EO 5%. Has anyone ever used it in soap? Does it stick? Does it morph or accelerate or any of that fun stuff? I mean, obviously I'm going to be doing a test batch...

    Whipped Body Butters in the Summer

    So, for the moment I'm making some whipped butters and those have been a big winter hit, but I'm thinking about summer-time and shipping. If you offer whipped anhydrous butters through the summer, do you just not ship them, ship them with an ice pack or ship them with a warning that they'll need...

    Do some threads just DISAPPEAR?

    I think there must be. I can't see it either.

    Glitter cups

    I suppose I could compare it to using lye for the first time with soap. It's kind of intimidating to start with knowing it could go wrong, but acetone will strip the clearcast epoxy off. So if you screw up and need to strip the cup, there are lots of tutorials also covering how to do that too...

    Never hurts to message a moderator and ask.

    Glitter cups

    I totally will! I should have one finished enough to photograph tomorrow. It takes three or four days to make one. One day for the glitter coat and once that's on you have to let it dry well enough that the glitter and glue won't smear when you start with the resin. Then the first coat of resin...

    Glitter cups

    I have found another crafting fun thing that's almost as addictive as soap! Glitter tumblers! I've practiced on a little cheap cup from the Dollar Tree and have moved up to my first real steel tumbler and have put in the work to source a lot of things for them. I expect I'll be making a few to...

    Wholesale Supplies Plus - need to gripe

    Thanks DeeAnna. The shipping charges at Community Candle make it basically come out in the wash. An 8oz bottle of the witches' brew stuff is the same cost as just one 4oz bottle of it at WSP, but their shipping negates that price difference. I guess I could get off my duff and contact...

    Wholesale Supplies Plus - need to gripe

    Related note: who else sells all those crafters choice fragrance oils? There are a couple that I get from them that keep me returning because they're favorites, but if I could find the Crafters Choice oils of the same variety elsewhere, there I would go.

    Any vet techs out there?

    I'm not surprised that you are looking for something, anything to blame (even if it's just subconscious). You just lost your furbaby and you weren't entirely expecting it, even if it was haunting the back of your mind. I was not there, so I can't give you any kind of educated guess as to what...

    Any vet techs out there?

    Former vet tech here. I don't know that much about exotics, but any anesthesia whatsoever always carries a certain amount of risk. The larger and healthier the critter (except for horses, who are simply made of delicate spun glass) the better they tend to take it. Tiny kittens, puppies, ratties...

    Please help me recreate this commercial soap.

    I dunno, I mean, just looking at the ingredients and the other info the rest of the folks have already given you it seems like it's really...nothing special? It's just soap as far as I can tell.

    Naming Your Soaps

    I have geeky themed things and do sell now. I skirt the edges as closely as I feel safe doing so using a combo of a phrase/trope and description that generally most geeks would probably get, but the general public not really into any specific fandom would only see as creativity. While checking...

    Perfect Loaf Mold Size?

    Agreed. A nice, adjustable length mold would be awesome (with fixed width/height, say 3.5x2.5 or so).

    How much FO do you use?

    which oils have you used that have faded? I've had lots of great scents from BB that have stuck well and forever.

    Christmas 2017

    I wonder if this perhaps has something to do with the pace of life nowadays. You don't get to slow down much anymore, always doing something.
