I use an old curling iorn to seal the one edge.

What does your supplier recomend? They usually tell you what percent is safe to use.

I agree. EO will give you the smell, extracts don't give you smell but do add some properities depending on the extract, and powder also give some properities but not as much smell. FO are cheaper but some customers only want EO's in their soap. I sure this just muddied the water even more. Use...

First of all you do not have to put ingredients on your soap label. But I do put the ingredients on my labels. I list the ingredients from the MSDS infor my supplier gives me. And if I add fragrance and color I also list them.

The soap from Kathrine Miller's site is clear glycerine soap, like Neutrogena. It's not M&P. It doesn't melt well. I made it and it never melts down all the way. I know there are people out there who make their own but I have yet to find a formula that works as well as the bases that are already...

There are also tattoo paper that you can actually place on top of the soap. You print the picture from your printer, soak the paper in water and slide it on to the top of the soap. It's pretty cool.

Is the color in glycerine? That is usually what makes it sweat.

If you don't want to the through the process for liquid soap you can make a Syndet wash and it is not as labor intensive. As stated above check out Swift's blog. Also check out www.theherbarie.com and www.lotioncrafter.com. They both have formulas and supplies for those formulas. Most suppliers...

I too am always looking at thing with the thought of 'could it be a soap mold?' in addition to the above things I use individual icecream cups. They are fluted like a flower and have a round indention in the middle perfect to place a round sticker on the wrapping. My main mold(I do molded soaps...

I have never had it release gel but my high olive oil soap gets slimey feeling after use. I don't know if this is what you are talking about but with oilve oil it is the nature of the beast. A lot of people don not use any olive oil for that very reason. Some people have described it as snot. Do...

Nope. I have tried every way. I have very prolific rose bushes and always has turned brown. Usually the lye eats up alot of the petals. But even on top it won't work. You might want to post this in the CP section next time or post there too.

Would you drink it? There's your answer.

On the lard topic. It makes the best gravy you have ever tasted. I know I'm going to die of cornary artery disease but i will have been satified! :twisted:

You could also cut it up in pieces and out it in other bars. Then you wouldn't have to grate it.

Nope. If anything I would reduce the oil amount not the water. I just figure it adds to the superfat.

It may not be that the Mica is not safe it is just that they haven't tested it and do not want the liability. Mica is not just used for soap.

The Herbarie has a formula specifically for foaming bottles. I made it and it worked great. It was very thin.

I haven't deciderd if alcohol helps or not. I have used it and not used it and have not seen anything different. I think it is the temp of the soap personally. If it is a hotter soap things stick together better, Nothing scientific just observation.

Lots of pyrex measuring cups and lots of paper cups(not styrafoam) ask me how I know! :oops:

I use a rice cooker. I have 2 sizes. One is a 6 cup that I got for 13 dollars at Walmart and I think the big one was 20 dollars. It has the cook mode and then the warm mode to keep the soap liquid while I add different colors, scents, and pour into different molds. You can also find the rice...
