Re: x
i'm back!
okay, just unwrapped my soap-no discoloration. i used 1 oz f/o ppo.
i used a heating pad to kick-start the gel.
naturally, i forgot to use the white mica, so it is exactly the same color as my unscented soap-a light beige/eggshell color.
BTW, the white mica i use is the "satin white/low sheen" from tkb trading. looked at the unci and it contains 50% titanium dioxide. i've had nothing but grief with t.d. but this one works great-go figure! :shock: maybe it's the mica in it that makes it behave better?
guess i'll go defrost some hamburger for meatloaf tonight!
heartsong said::shock: that's really got me going!
normally i like it with a "hint" of cream, and i will use 1/8 tsp ppo ipanema gold mica, and it's never come out that dark! if i'm going to do a 2 color and need it a little whiter, i use 1/2 tsp white mica ppo, to brighten it up a bit.
i'm going to soap it tomorrow morning in my 2" pvc pipe, and we'll compare notes.
the oils will be using: coconut/lard/olive/pko/castor & st. acid.
rtcp and gel.
i suppose i better get ready to "eat a little crow" for dinner!
i'm back!
