    What soapy thing have you done today?

    We've been trying to find a way to get unbiased feedback from our friends & family and your mention of surveymonkey just fixed our little dilemma. Thank you!

    Uh oh… where did I go wrong?

    @earlene @KiwiMoose @Obsidian @Jersey Girl Thank you all so much! Your collective advice makes all the more sense after having watched a few videos on the matter. I guess this is one of the draw backs of using "Water as % of Oils" instead of" Lye concentration %" OR "water : lye ratio: You...

    Uh oh… where did I go wrong?

    Those were the exact instructions I followed, the result is what you see above. When I don’t use the oven to cure it does not occur so I’m assuming it’s the trapped humidity or is it something else I’m doing wrong?

    Uh oh… where did I go wrong?

    I’ve made a couple molds and have tried putting it in the oven as I have heard that it helps retain more of the colors vibrancy and makes it easier to remove the soap from its mold, however the results have made my smooth tops bubble up a bit (see pic) and doesn’t dry. I’m assuming that it’s...

    Did not even know that was something to look for thanks for the heads up! I bought a mica sprayer from nurture but will take that into account next time around.

    Using a spray bottle to apply gold mica...

    Actually found this last night while I was browsing for a solution. Thanks! Would still like to figure out how to get it to work same as the video. It really bugs me when I can't get the same result. I ended up sprinkling it on as well.

    Using a spray bottle to apply gold mica...

    I'm following a recipe I found on youtube with a textured top that you spray using a 2 part alcohol to 1 part mica. However... when i mixed the mica with alcohol (very well) and funneled it into a spray bottle it would immediately clog. Tried it in 2 separate bottles with the same results. Is...

    Help! I can't stop making soap!!!

    It's a slippery slope to say the least. I started watching my wife create these beautiful works of art that led me to follow suit. Now.... I can't stop! I rush home from work everyday to see if my loaf is ready to be removed from my mold just so I could pour another lol. Anyhow, excited to be...
