    Chocolate & Mint w/pict's

    when i first started swirling, one of my biggest problems was not adding too much of the swirling color. now i kind of have it down (sometimes) ... for a 4.5 pound log I use a generous ladle full of batter for swirling ... sometimes i had just a little more if i want more of a marbled effect ...

    Newbie could use some help, bar soap consistency

    uuuuuh .. i don't think so .. at most you'll get separation of the soap batter because of inadequate mixing or using a bad FO .. false trace can cause it sometimes as well ... i've never had soap that even slighly displayed the problems that you are having ... sorry :(

    Melt and Pour Questions

    LoL at not my children. They ask me every single time I make soap if they can help .. they're the girliest girls ... i don't know where they get it from. I love the idea of the fragrance oils with droppers because yes ... we're in an independent phase (i hope it's just a phase). I think...

    When unmolding...what do you do?

    I agree with Rita and Digit ... it depends on the recipe .. if it's soft .. no biggie .. wait 2 or 3 days .. but i have a recipe that gets hard in as a rock in about 16 hours .. too hard to use the wire cutter so I unmold after 12 hours let it get a little air .. then cut it ... it truly depends...

    Help! Coconut Milk Failure!

    i freeze my CM/GM/Yogurt mixture and make a slurry (making sure to leave quite a few bigger chunks about the size of quarters because it takes them longer to melt and it cools your solution off as you continue mixing) and add my lye mixture. This is my question: how long did the lye solution...

    Newbe with lots of questions

    The Soap Dish, Wholesale Supplies Plus, and Soapers Choice have all the oils that you'll ever need. I think you can get powdered goats milk from From Nature with Love. I wouldn't really worry too much about fragrance oils in your first couple of batches, just get to know the process first...

    My new foster

    most likely ... this woman was crazy to give him up .. i heard that doxies are tough to housebreak, but he's doing quite well so far (knock on wood) he's just stubborn and thinks that if it's raining or cold he's entitled to potty in the house. ... lol .... i can see why you love them .. they...

    First Show

    i don't think there is a secret .. i think you just have to talk to people .. i noticed that the crafters that didn't sell anything didn't even acknowledge the customers looking at their wares. and as far as the setup .. that was an easy one .. i simply love the beach .. i made my husband...
