  1. Thanks @Jeana. I've been lazy and mixing the lye outside and not wearing one. I primarily make EO soaps - and I soap cool - but recently had some FO special orders and this thread has me thinking I need to have that respirator on. It really doesn't smell strong, but if I were to make bigger batches/several loaves at a time, it makes sense. I watch soaping videos, and I don't think one person I've watched wears a mask...very interesting. Excellent food for thought!
  2. Do folks wear a respirator when making soap too? Probably, but just checking...small 4 lb batch max.
  3. I'm not sure I know what foaming bath milk is...a liquid that foams? Like bubble bath?
  4. I just got some zinc oxide and want to try that for a white pencil line. I'd probably use the mica in your case, rather than straight TD, but I'll let others weigh in.
  5. I completely agree with @xxxAlpha71xxx and @Sarah S - save yourself some pain and keep it simple.
  6. I have used BB's Pure Honey and have found it smells like honey.
  7. Congratulations!!! It looks great! Welcome!!!!
  8. Yikes. That's a bummer - and a good reminder. Sorry it happened.
  9. Way to experiment and persist! I haven't tackled HP yet, but it's on my list
  10. So pretty!!! Wow, I love it! I, too, am looking forward to seeing it on your product.
  11. Etsy seems to be following the trend of all credit card processing companies - raising their fees. It is tough to stomach how much the cost of doing business is increasing and revenue (different service field, not products/candles or soap) is decidedly not. But these thread/conversations are so good so you'll to have your eyes wide open if you want to start selling product...
  12. So THAT'S my problem?! Lol - I'm sure I have several. Lately, the best HT I've gotten - thanks to your rec - has been with FC's Iced Lemon Biscotti. Beyond that, I've been hiding my frustration in soap making. -end of the thread jack-
  13. Me neither. Where do you find one?
  14. Fresh Picked Cucumber? I got a sample - as my husband said - that's exactly what it smells like. Fresh off the vine. I haven't tried it in cp soap yet.
  15. I am not a math jockey, but with 24.9 ounces of wax 1% of that is .249 ounces of odor eliminator and 2% is basically .5 ounces. Is that even your question, @Trappeur? So rounding down 1% would be .2, so totaling 1 lb 9.1 oz and rounding up 1 lb 9.2 oz. For 2% it would be 1 lb 9.4 oz.
  16. @Shari thanks for the tip - that's very reasonably priced!
