Wow! Loads of great suggestions. I use wooden molds too - so I think I will start with the aluminum foil first. Then if that doesn't work, I'll move on the beeswax. Many many thanks everyone!!!

When you cover your soap with plastic wrap, do you let it touch the surface of the soap? When I do that, it leaves imprints on the surface of the soap that I don't like. But that might just be something I have to live with - WAY better than ash!! :)

Hi all - I've only been making soap since December and LOVE it!!! However, on about 50% of my batches, I am still getting soda ash on the top. I liberally spray each batch with alcohol after pouring, and it doesn't happen every single time - only about 1/2 the time. What are some of your...

Hi Relle9 - yuppers! I was judging the cat show that was at the Royal Easter show last weekend :) It was my first Easter show - what a production. Very impressive!

Hi everyone - I have just returned from the states from Australia and brought back from Tea Tree EO and some Emu oil to try in my soap. I just made a batch of TTO and will see how it turns out. But does anyone have a good recipe for emu oil inclusion? Thanks! Heather

Thanks for all of the responses so far. The picture I saw was from a post a while back and I can't find it now. But I looked up the FCS ones and like how they appear. Do you all find that wires break often?

Hi all - I only make CP and HP soap in a log molds. I am pretty new to this, and bought a wooden soap cutter, which is ok. But I am wondering what soap cutters you like best. I've been looking for one that I saw a picture of a while back, to cut logs......it had 8-9 wires on a handle that you...

Hi all - I am very interested in trying to make an egg-white CP soap recipe....but i can't find one anywhere. Would anyone like to share one?

Yuppers - the cute little cardboard boxes with the window in the front. I love them!!

Hi all - I was wondering if I could package my CP soap for temporary storage in the nice little Kraft boxes with a small window. It has been curing for 2-3 weeks already (depending on which soap it is). I am not yet ready to give it to friends, but I have my boxes already. Will it be ok in...
