I frequent a metaphysical shop, and promised the ladies there that when I had some that were 'ready' they could have some for free if they gave me honest feedback.

    Hrm, Maybe I will try this 7 oil recipe ..

    I tinkered with soap calc, because I noticed a pattern, that I tend to get hung up on the numbers sometimes and it leaves me with the same old default oils to use unless I force myself to try somthing new, even then I tinker with it to get the 'numbers right' so while tinkering today I made one...

    Yes, And no. Yes darker, no milk. And they seemed to have evened out now that its been a few days as suggested. Tomarrow is soaping day, I will try it one way....but I could use a couple votes. Who says "Less Insulation" who says "No top" and who says "No heating pad" :)

    2 Issues

    You know I had pondered that it might be over heating due to the box and the way I insulate but at the same time there are times that I get the cracks and they dont reach full Gel (Though it leaves a cool looking, perfectly square border around the soap :D) I am pondering getting new molds, I...

    I have had these two problems ALMOST consistantly. No matter the recipe or the scent added, this makes me think its me, not my process so I figure I will walk you through the process I do (The end part, not the whole thing :D) and see if you guys got ideas: So, I have mixed the everything in my...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Cleaned the soap room, made some soap, cleaned the soap room, got mad about how frustrating colors and cracking can be in my soap and why 1/2 the batch (yellow) came out like bananna custard, and the other half (pink) came out perfect in texture. Basically: Got frustrated :D
