Yea.. you rock! Was planning my first order today at lunch.. I will wait until I get home and maybe save a little, or be able to buy more .... yea.. that's the ticket! Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks, I needed that this morning.. LOL.:grin:

Thus far inspiration is gained from some post on this forum. Then I will spend the next week investing way to many hours bouncing between this forum, SoapCalc and my note book, finally printing off a recipe Friday evening. Saturday evening will be spent dragging out out the box of supplies and...

Thank you so much! I appreciate you clearing that up. I am about to place an order and wanted to be prepared to soap when they arrive, yea.. can't wait.:) Now off to narrow down the shopping cart to a "reasonable" number of oils. Thanks again and have a great day!

Old thread I know but going to give this a shot anyway. Can one of you fine folks help me understand how to calculate how much of a FO purchased from WSP to use in a batch of soap? I see listed max usage rates listed for each oil but they very wildly, some as low as 3% some up to 50% . Thus far...

I have to say of the many things I have learned here this one comes up often..I understand that they didn't come out as you expected .. but to be honest .. they still look really good. It seems a common theme of folks posting bars that "didn't come out as expected" that are still awesome...

Have to go with the consensus here, they all look awesome but I am drawn to the Coconut Lime. Maybe it's because I have been searching the pencil line thing over the last couple of days. What did you use to create your line? I have been toying with trying it with coco powder as I have it handy.

I SO need to find a Costco.. I paid that much for 8 oz at my local grocery store.. :problem:

I made it through all 157 pages of the Soap pictures thread, came to the realization that me and my first spoon swirl have a LONG way to go. Completed my beveling tool, but have to admit I feel a bit of loss cutting away some of the soapy goodness I am trying to create, is that just a bit...

What is your take on the Ginger Patchouli FO? Sounds interesting :)

First attempt at a spoon swirl . Not exactly spring colors but it's what I had to work with. Hemp soap with spearmint, eucalyptus and patcholi. Pretty happy with it though.

Snicker, just wait soon you will be spending your lunch hour on SoapCalc :)

Did my first spoon swirl this morning and am going crazy waiting the 24 hours to un-mold and cut. Began construction on a corner planer to remove those sharp edges.

Welcome to the forum and as you have discovered the addiction. I too am new to this adventure and want to tell you don't feel like the Lone Ranger on your observations. I found most of the pots pans and such to get started at yard sales and slipped into the illusion that this would be an...

I think they look great! Perfect for the upcoming spring season :)

Ah yea! Out in 5 hours and no ash... yet. We will have to see how it cures out. This one reached its highest temp at hour 2 where the first batch, made two weeks ago didn't peak out until hour 5. I tried to do a bit of swirled action on the top with some of the unscented batter. I colored the...

In the mold and curing! If this batch plays out like the last I will be able to cut it in about 7 hours or so. I will say it was fun watching the process last time. I checked the loaf and temp every hour. Watched it heat up and gel then begin to cool and harden up. I had never witnessed the...

Thanks to all for the input! I believe I will delve into a bit of it all. Two weeks ago I made my first salt bars with a little hemp in them. Today I had planned on making the same recipe only replacing the hemp with avocado. (I have both of those oils left over from the new soaper rush that...

With further consideration and a cocktail I think I agree with you CaraBou. I guess with the extreamly high percentage of CO and remembering that it is supposed to be the only oil the will lather "in salt water" it would kinda be a mute point. I made a batch 2 weeks ago, going to make another...

Is there any value in adding sugar to the lye water in a salt bar recipe? And if so at what porpotion? From what I can see in other threads the usage rate seems to vary by personal preference between 1 Tsp and 1 Tbsp PPO. But can't find specific mention of its use in salt bars.
