Hello,
About four months ago I started learning about melt and pour soaps I am doing ok but I need a few pointers.
If anyone has any recommendations on books I'd love to hear them. 8)
My first question is what is the difference between dyes? I hear that liquid is good but so is solid. Also is the solid dye the lab quality dye? I am curious about organic dyes if anyone has any pointers on that subject as well.
Second when I try to make a soap inbed it does great. I freeze them for at least an hour before I put them in a bar of soap. But when I get the finished product my dye bleeds and the soap looks horrible.
Third I have read that if I wish to sell soap to the public that I need insurance and to test the ph of the soap. Does this count for melt and pour as well? Also where can I find more information on these subjects?
Thanks in advance for any comments and tips :wink:
