    Question for Sellers/Long Time Hobbiests

    I been tweeking a couple of them and I found in the shower I really like a Lard one I made (SO MUCH LATHER!) but I have had some feedback from others, the metaphysical shop is 100% anti-lard so none for them. At any any rate, this has been a awsome thread and I hope there are others that can...

    Damn near soap on a stick....More like Yogurt.

    Colorant from WSP, and I added the ..*think* I had mixxed the color with some oils, then added some of the incorperated lye/oils to the colored oils + FO. So cup 1 was: Color + Oil + FO. That got added to Oils + Lye

    As promised, the latest batch soap pics...

    As you can see, on the left the lilac simply did not go well at all. The brown blue middle there /was/ a nice purple until I added the FO, and WHAM pudding and ugly color. Makes me sad in my heart place :( But the lemon grass came out really nifty, unintentionally even, I had forgotten to mix...

    Damn near soap on a stick....More like Yogurt.

    So you remember that cheap yogurt you could get at walmart growing up that came in a big white container with fruit painted on the side? Thats what half my lavender soap I just made came out the consistancy of, the other half was perfectly fine! I added purple mica to the oils, and the FO to...

    Ash or Mold, Quick Responce Apprecated.

    It seems MOSTLY on the top but it is also on the 'cut side' on a couple peices. I tugged at it with tweezers and it came right off, and brushed off there was no 'tug' to it like it felt like it was sitting on top, not coming from within (if that makes sense) cleans right off with a little water...

    Ash or Mold, Quick Responce Apprecated.

    Top and sides, I found another topic on this with similar that said it was ash, but at the same time I am concerned, none of the soaps are over 1.5 months old, and those are mostly just CO,OO, and Palm, as well as lard in one of them. I live in Colorado so I dont concider it...

    WSP has basically 3 costs of their FO's. its like 4.95 5.95 or 7.95 or somthing like that depending on what one, there are some odditys like orange wich is like really cheap (for obvious reasons) so its safeish to assume that you can work out the 3 basic prices the same way and move on with...

    Nature's Garden vs WSP?

    WSP does indeed have slightly higher prices to help compensate for their shipping. /but/ in most cases I have found that after you calculate shipping on orders of any decent size, WSP is generally less expensive (Except in the Lye department....ED For lye on my end) Lets do some quick math: FO...

    Tiger Stripe

    So do you bring it to trace before you start your striping, the videos i have seen do not show very good if it gets that far. Is it just well incorperated or is it light trace at that point?
