well I got it cut into bars .... it does smell really good ... it didn't accelerate and no discoloration.. at least not so far ... granted I was experimenting with the ultramarines for the blue/plum color :) I did two log molds so also decided to play around with design ... one is an...

well I finally got a chance to soap the mandarin plum FO ... I like it but it doesn't smell quite like I thought it would... the fruity sweet aroma of ripe plums definitely comes through but not detecting much if any of a citrus scent... maybe my sniffer is off? It is cold and flu season after...

I think they turned out great.... you may have been going for a lighter color but the tan ones are very pretty.

those were done with frozen raw milk and hand mixed... no stick blender... at very cool temps and left uninsulated... I have noticed a difference in color when using raw instead of pasteurized .. also hand mixing (which takes forever) seems to make a difference too.... will have to play...

I'll be soaping it this weekend. I'm real curious to see what this one soaps like. I also got apple blossom, black canyon, blackberry sage, cappuccino hazelnut, coconut lime verbena, ginger peach, lavender( by request), love spell (by request) and wild mountain honey Lavender and love...

I really like the odd shapes it came out...just say..Why YES!!! its supposed to look like that... call it one of a kind artistic design... no two soaps look alike :) actually I use the pringles cans for RTCP goat milk soap... they actually do work nicely BUT... don't insulate it... don't cap...

what methods are used to avoid ash? someone said they use 90% alcohol but will regular rubbing alcohol work and if so...when should you use it? as soon as it is in the mold... after is has set.. when you cut it into bars? and how... ie spray, rub etc?

hehe... I ended up ordering it in a sample pack... so I'll get to find out first hand. Would still like to hear what others think of it though.

Has anyone tried the Mandarin Plum FO from Peak? Anybody have reviews of this one?

What lovely soaps!! what did you use to get the wonderful color in your lavender castile? and also for the blackberry sage?

Goats are awesome but addicting so fair warning... they are like potato chips ... you can't have just one. We started off with one "just for a pet" well then he needed a buddy... buddy didn't work out so got him a different one... then got an older one and trained him for packing and...

I covered the top with a piece of plastic wrap... smoothed it down onto the soap then lifted it and re-covered it so it was lightly touching ... gives it a smooth yet textured look
