thanks Jacki, I purchased my soap mold from ebay. I have two of them and love them! It is called the NO LINER Soap Mold for 18 bars. I still line my bottom with parchment paper but no the sides.

One of the best things I have learned here on the forum is to prepare in advance for my soap making. For the past 2 weekends, I have been pre-mixing my oils per recipes and storing them in buckets so that when I am actually ready to make the soap, I only have to line my molds and make my lye...

Nice, your colors are beautiful. I tried my first swirl today as well and I am happy with the preliminary results, can't wait to unmold! http://img641.imageshack.us/i/teetreefacialsoap003.jpg/

Well, I finally go the nerve up to try some swirls today. I made a Tea Tree facial bar with CO, OO and Lard and I can't wait to unmold it to see how it actually looks on the inside! Here is a link to the pic...hope with works...

Dennis...good luck with your soap! I normally soap on Sunday mornings..it seems so peaceful in my house during that time.

Soapmaker is very effective for costing your products. I it tells you exactly the cost of creating your batch once you have input all of your information. I just reinstalled it on my computer (first computer crashed last year) and I am in love with it all over again!

I am a not a newbie but compared to others on this forum, I am relatively new to soap making (one been at this addictive habit for almost 2 years) and as a newbie, I do try to research the internet as much as possible for answers to my questions but please remember, google is your friend but...

I am trying to find a good recipe for hair oil that you can put into a 4oz bottle with a spray mister....any suggestions on where to start?

I didn't see Aloe...but I am going to check the next time I go back!

Was in a jam today and decided to check for some supplies at WalMart...boy was I surprised! I found Aloe Vera Juice which I use as a substitute for my water, Tea Tree Essential Oil, Vitamin E Oil and Glycerin. I have been ordering alot of this online but only needed a little bit and the prices...

Beautiful!! I wish I was able to do something like this.

After seeing some of the responses on the forum last night, I went through my files and found my original purchase of Soap Maker 3 and the registration code and was able to download it!!!!! Oh man, I have been working all darn night to input my recipes and supplies...I am in love all over...

I have wanted to make a facial bar soap and didn't realize I could use CO at 100%, I thought it would be way to drying......

I have about 80 bars of soap ready and about 30 that are curing and should be ready in about 2 weeks! I am in the process of changing up on recipes and have not made any new soap until I get my supplies. This is truly a obsession but I could think of worse things to be obsessed with!

Thanks, I was just wondering if I should change it to less lye.

I am using the lye calculator and I am using the 2:1 for Lye/Water concentration which equals 33.333% Lye concentration for 5.75lb of soap, is this correct?

I bought soapmaker 3 a while ago and my computer that it was on has since crashed! I am so disappointed because I was really getting into using it. Not sure I can afford to purchase it again right now...so many other things needed!

I normally freeze my soap in the mold for about 2-3 hours prior to removing. It helps to get the soap out without tearing it. I have never tried to put my mold into the freezing after molding...I don't worry about gelling.

Beautiful...I wish I could do this.

What are the benefits of adding wax to your soap and how and when do you incorporate it?
