@Midnight_Sun I use sugar and salt in all my batches

I didn't have enough tree molds, so I used the flower molds from hobby lobby to use up my excess batter.

O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree! Ok, this was Berry Merry Christmas FO from NG. Walmart silicone molds. Several green micas and a white mica. The tiny trees are a mold from hobby lobby. They smell great.

Omg @Relle that is beautiful 😍

Went to hobby lobby and picked up some silicone molds half price. 4 Christmas ones and 2 floral. Now to make soap.

Thanks @lsg that is exactly what I have been looking for.

I received my NG FOs the other day. Ordered smaller bottles this time in case they don't soap very well. I have several FOs from previous orders that are half full and in my opinion are unusable. Like an ***** I took a whiff of each bottle (15 in total) followed by a whiff of coffee grounds. Got...

I use poly thread from thread art. I bought some cheaper stuff from Amazon and it frays and breaks a lot.

@MomInWA when I use a FO that discolors, I pull out some soap batter before adding the fo so I can put Micas in that. No, no blue bubbles. I don't notice colors in the suds when using Micas.

A mix of Fresh Cut Roses and Fresh Raspberry NG FOs. It accelerated and riced a bit. First time using the True Red mica from Mad Micas along with some other Micas. Happy how the colors came out.

I always use distilled water to make my sugar syrup for soaping

Paper towels

Sending prayers your way

@AliOop and @dmcgee5034 thank you. I was not sure how the colors would mix and feared I would swirl too much. But, it surprised me.

@Ekuzo the FOs and Micas are the reason I keep my soaping containers separate from my cooking/baking stuff.

So what do you do when your chickens lay tons of eggs? You make custard ice cream. My ice cream maker holds 6 quarts, the recipe uses a dozen egg yolks. I then have enough egg whites to make an angel food cake. As for ice cream I have made 2 batches of chocolate, one butter pecan, and one...

NG Misbehavin FO. Mad Mica's Wicked, Snake Island, and Flotation Device. Hanger swirl.

@ackosel yes the door must be held open a bit

@ewhitake you will end up having several dedicated soap containers 😂. I know I do.

130 - 135 degrees F is best. 170 could burn it. You will have to keep an eye on it at that temp. I use 140 F
