That’s why you visit the plumbing section of your local hardware store @MomInWA, to purchase a jar of Red Devil. I know where you live, and you DO have stores there! 🤣


How did you apply the gold mica @Nonnie? It looks fantastic!!!
I used my finger and a soft bristle brush withsome mica. Worked out pretty good.
 
I absolutely hated the round soap so I have been playing around with them. I took a few and smooshed them in my shampoo bar mold. It helped a little. Then, I took the leftover embed logs and cut them to fit inside cavity molds. I'll make a batch of white batter again like the other bees and pour over. Maybe I'll have decent looking soap then.

I love your creativity! I'm excited to see how the bee molds turn out.
 
When I make slabs, not so much. But multicolor or multi-loaf batches requires days of preparation and checking and rechecking. Then execution is fast.

Fragrance and/or sodium gluconate gets missed often 😬
Yes, I can relate to the little cups of extras I forgot to stir in at the end before pouring into the mold 😬
