Hi, Does it smell like ammonia?If so,it is the milk.Most of the time it will go away as it cures. When I soap with milk(s),I do cp.I freeze my milk flat in a baggie.I get all my my oils melted and ready to go,add my frozen milk to the lye.As soon as the lye is dissolved I add it to the oils. I do not insuate my molds. I have gotten the best resuts with this method.This wasn't my idea,I **think** it was Cyndi from Muller's Farm. HTH,

Hi, Most people around here don't care if it's ao or vo BUT I do get one every now and then that wants all veggie so I do make them both ways.Not all of my fo's (which I haven't noticed having to use more when using lard) just a few...like OMH,Love Spell....the more popular ones.

To me,RJ at www.herbalsoapsbyrj.com has THE best OMH fo there is. It is wonderful. Lezlee at simple soothings has a great one too.

Oh wow,that is gorgeous!! I love those molds too.

Hi and welcome! This is the best site ever I have spent many many hours here reading and learning.

WOW!! Those are awesome!

Really? I got my tins from Aztec. I will try that,thanks

how do you do it?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a rust ring arouf the top of my wickless tins using peak's amish harvest and hazlenut cappiccino.I had read on here to modge podge the tins. I am trying my best but the dern stuff wants to just bead right up! I can't get it to spread around. HELP!!! Thanks,

Seems like Palmer's has a cocoa butter stick.I am not sure if it's 100% pure with no additives though.

I like to use 1 part beeswax and 3 parts oil.

Thank you so much! I have a bunch of J50,I think I'll make a few of those too.

Hi Dana,thank you very much I am using the ones that come in 2 pieces. I got to thinking about it and that makes alot of sense!I should have thought that if I had to scoop that wax out of the bag that it never would of come out of the shell...LOL.... I am going to try the parasoy and perfect blend today. Thanks!

Hi I was wondering which of these waxes would work with the clamshells. I could only get my hands on so many and Ive already ruined one with IGI comfort blend ~LOL...what WAS I thinking?!~ I have these waxes: From KY: 125,parasoy and perfect blend. and then I have some J223 and J50. I appreciate any and all help on this. Also,do you all color your's? Think they would sell ok with no color? Thanks!

Have you tried a y of the General Dollar/Family Dollar stores? My sis in law has been getting them at those stores.

Oh gosh,bless your heart! I hope that get well really fast. My brother just had pnuemonia and like you,it came upon him really fast. He works in the coal mines,which I am sure doesn't help any. He got better pretty quick,too.
