Quoted for 'also curious how to do that'.

Cut pictures!

We've had a break from the summer weather so I wanted to do something a little fall-ish and fell back to 'Halloween'. I had a 2oz sampler of WSP's Witches Brew and some neons I got a couple of months ago that I hadn't used yet, so I went nuts. Inside is a drop swirl and I kind of can't wait to...

I agree with Earlene - it's probably not your soap, it's the grease you're pouring down the drain. Dispose of your grease into the garbage can instead of pouring it into the drain. Any of the methods Earlene has mentioned will work fine.

Has anyone had experience with this retailer?: https://www.customkraftbox.com/ Looking around for ideas for soap packaging and came across them. They have a giant selection!

Agreed. I'm not sure what the solution is at this point though. A google form, maybe, that dumps into a spreadsheet, accessible to *view* with a link, but I'm not sure if you can make the form differentiate between sheets in a workbook like the document is set up right now. Research is needed.

Looks like in the edits someone anonymous deleted it around the 7th of this month. I found it, copied it and pasted it back. I do not know how complete it is. (ETA: Saved a copy of the workbook into my own Google drive as of today.)

Yes, it was a Mad Oils mica sample I had leftover. It's called Indigo Girls, but I doubt it's got any indigo in it. I've got a blue from Nurture I'll use instead next time. https://www.madmicas.com/products/indigo-girls-mica

The color sort of survived, just a tinge greenish. Also, my first partial gel. Probably stopped about the point I took it to the freezer. I would've been fine to let it finish but it was already cracking and bulging ominously. I'm content with it as a first try! Pictures!

It's just solid blue on the inside. I only put swirls on the top.

I used Cool Citrus Basil once, at .75oz PPO and it stuck fine. The soap still had scent months later when I gave it away.

Just finished cleaning up after getting it in the mold. Made it with some manager's special goat's milk in the carton from Kroger. We'll see how it goes. It's a blue milk soap (har! Star Wars fans will get it, at least) and I used WSP's amber and incense (or amber incense, I'd have to get up...

With the other people in this house and no dedicated space of my own really for soap stuff (besides a rolling shelf in the basement) I make my lye solution each time I soap. But I fill a second container with ice water and after the NaOH has dissolved I just set the cup it's in down into the ice...

I also didn't start out with much in the way of 'ideals', I just wanted to make soap and wasn't feeling particularly hung up on 'natural' or 'organic' or anything. It tickled the mad scientist fancy and I didn't have to have a chem major to pull it off. I didn't have the notion to sell at first...

The image and the webpage title that shows up in the browser tab both say 'tetrasodium' but the heading on the page itself says 'disodium', so there's some screw up here, somehow.

I bought a few during their 1 oz-$1 sale here recently (pick 20 FOs, get an ounce bottle of each for $20) and I've used most of them in just body butters, and they were fine there, but I used Fresh Peach in a batch of cold process soap about 5 or 6 weeks ago and when I went to unmold and cut...

B-but, I'm a redneck magpie, I LIKE sparkles! Though I'll be honest, most of my glitter is very fine stuff that shimmers more than sparkles, but I like using mica to make shimmery patterns on soap tops too. I've learned to make sure that I'm home through the afternoon to keep an eye on the...

Yes, I expect they're about to see a mass exodus, if they haven't already.

Nope, not your imagination, it was there, got a bit of dissenting feedback and disappeared.

Agreed. I didn't follow much because I'm not necessarily a regular customer of Mad Oils', but from what I saw there briefly they got awfully tetchy on Facebook with people over what seemed like just confusion or a request for clarification (i.e. the 'tone' was unwarranted). I wasn't terribly...
