OK, I am going to ask a dumb question but when I make my soap recipe (basic 16 oz, coconut, 16 oz palm, 16 oz olive and 16oz of full fat coconut milk/ 7 oz lye solution) I am adding 1 oz ppo of FO which means I am adding 3 oz FO. Here is the question; should I be counting the 16 oz of...

Wow, wow, wow........I just visited the TKB Trading website and can't wait to pick from their amazing selection! Sooo happy I had troubles with the food colouring as they have so many more options than the food colourings anyway. Thanks Ruby Slippers!!! Candice

Thanks Guys, It is for CP soap....I haven't done M&P. If anyone out there can recommend a website that sells great colours for CP I would be very grateful!! I got these gel colours from sweet cakes and they were recommended for CP but as I am having troubles I would love some tried and true...

First time using FO's You know what? I made four more batches today and had no problems. I think what I did wrong was dumped the whole lot of FO in at once and then whipped it. It hardened really quickly. The rest of the batches I added the FO a little at a time and stirred with the stick...

First tine using FO's Thank you so much! I was afraid of rebatching simply because there are sooo many articles and I didn't know what to do. Zip Lock sounds the easiest so far!! You have just made my day as I was so disappointed to have my first 'disaster' batch but if I can save it the...

Hi There, I am a soap 'newbie' and have been making all of my batches with EO's (and a very small amount at that). I only did those batches because I had to wait two weeks for my FO's. They are all delightful and I LOVE them apart from the no smell thing. Well, my FO's came yesterday and I...
