soap a slab or tray mold is a mold that makes multiple bars of soap. soapmaker man has beautiful and very functional molds. he has pctures of his molds on his website. but a milk carton should do just fine. i've used the quart size for many batches. may you have many successes! and a...

meltaway i think you have something with the em wax. as long as i have kept them around in the house, none ever morphed, even after 5-6 months, but the extreme heat gave it kind of an airy whipped-souffle kind of texture. since we're only using 4 oz lotion base, what do you think? maybe...

meltaway i accidentally left my jar of meltaway in my car for a couple of days in the heat. it didn't separate, but it changed the texture a bit. i dont think this recipe can take extreme heat very well. i know my car had to be at least 100 degrees. monet
