    Canadian spelling

    Showing my true American ignorance here. Is it expected (or preferred, or should I just do it) spell color as colour, flavor as flavour, etc? Specifically on my site, labels, etc? Spell check dislikes those spellings LOL Working on SEO and if MOST people in Canada search for (rough...

    New bastilles... pink+green are holiday colors too right?

    I just put in the mold and let it set on my counter top, house about 72 degrees. The only thing different between the green and pink is the colorant used (green chrome oxide and merlot sparkle mica both from BB). I can't describe why I don't like it - it's got an "off" smell to me but the...

    New bastilles... pink+green are holiday colors too right?

    Isn't the gel on that piece weird?? I just cut the rest of both loaves and the gel on the pink/green spread most of the way out so it doesn't look quite as strange, the green one's spread about half way and looks kinda cool. I'll pretend it was intentional 8)

    New bastilles... pink+green are holiday colors too right?

    I have the best luck some times. Neither batch turned out like I wanted (funky partial gel, red is pink/rose/mauve, greens aren't dark enough, and forgot the scent on the Cedar so I lost the swirl). Anyway, same recipe with 60% OO plus CO, castor and cocoa butter. Left is Peak...

    Erame dried sea weed salt bar

    I've never used Lush - hearing all the issues with their soap going bad, I won't bother trying it either - but I'm guessing that they pulverize (make powder) out of the seaweed and that keeps it suspended and fresh-ish. Maybe the parts on the outside dry enough that being exposed to air doesn't...

    Medical claims from another soaper

    ^all that. Something along the lines of "the federal government doesn't let soap makers make medical or curative claims without expensive testing" and add in some legal to say perk to your soap "but our soap is all natural/organic/etc and gentle enough for all/most skin types".

    Where to find Tallow in Aussie

    I did around 3 lbs at a time I think, low heat in the oven. Look a long time, but I think that might have been what made it smell yummy instead of nasty lol. Lyn, here's how it works: melt (add water and a bit of salt to it) - strain - cool cut off hard fat that is on top (there will be...

    Random "stuff" for running a soap making business.

    To add to that, containers to put loose materials (like stearic acid, cocoa butter, etc) that come in bags.

    Newbie and scared!

    If you've ever used drain cleaner, it's not much worse than that. Respect the lye and it doesn't bite.
