  1. Is it safe to burn a pillar candle on a terracotta saucer that's usually under a flower pot? Would we need to treat the saucer in any way? I'm wondering - since water soaks through a flower pot, would wax soak through the saucer as the candle melts. We want to use them for candlelight decorations at an event & there will be rocks or shells around the base of the pillar on the saucer. Thanks for any help.
  2. I desperately need 4 oz of Peak's BRV & they are out of it. Does anyone know another supplier who's BRV would come close to Peaks? Thanks.
  3. Peak is out of BRV & I need 4 oz like yesterday. Does anyone have 4 oz they're willing to sell? Thanks SORRY - I POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG FORUM.
  4. I'm thinking of purchasing shea butter from bodybuttersuplies.com in North Dakota. Wondering if anyone has purchased from them. TIA
  5. I'm trying to find a scent that reflects evening and/or sunset in a woodsy setting. This is for CP soap. Any suggestions? Thanks!
  6. How do you decide which melters to use for testing if you're not going to sell any melters? I plan to test with a Scentsy burner since they are so popular in my area but will have to buy one & I see they come in so many shapes/sizes & with different bulb sizes. In my home I have a melter which uses a light bulb but most of the time I throw melts in a jar on an old wickless candle melter. I'd really appreciate some direction in getting melters for testing. TIA!
  7. For fall my friends & family like Sweet Pumpkin Spice and Spiced Cranberry from Peaks. The pumpkin discolors to brown but nobody seems to mind. Both are easy to soap and the scent holds well.
  8. Thank you! I didn't notice that "problem" note on the soapcalc. I did as you said & have the old amounts back.
  9. On Aug. 9 I typed in a recipe at soapcalc & decided to try a "water as % of oil wt" of 33%. The results for 56 ounces of oil came out as 18.48 ounces of water & 8.032 ounces of lye. Today I typed in the exact same recipe and it gave me the same water amount but 7.186 ounces of lye. Can anyone calculate this manually & let me know which is the right amount of lye? Also will the soap I made with 8.032 ounces of lye be safe? Both recipes have the 5% super fat/discount. THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP!
  10. I need to place an order with Brambleberry for some Cedar & Saffron. Am going to try Beau Brummel & wondering if anyone has some favorites for CP. TIA
  11. I have olive oil that I bought last fall & just noticed the expiration date is July 30th. It's been opened & stored in my cool basement & looks, smells & tastes ok. What are your thoughts on using it to make soap? TIA
  12. I love cranberry fig from Elements but nobody else does. I even changed the name but it didn't help. Luckily my sister is very happy to take any of my unpopular scents!
  13. Thanks for posting this. I'm going to give it a try.
  14. I took your survey but I think the answers from people on a soap forum may give different results than the people you're planning to sell to. I think it's safe to assume we're here because we love homemade soap. Since I make my own, I seldom buy it online due to shipping charges but I will buy it at a craft show or farmer's market to see how it compares to my own.
  15. I have an old model of a Canon Pixma inkjet photo printer that has held up very well & does an awesome print job. I got one when I got fed up with HP paper jams. When it dies, if I can't get the exact same thing I'll buy another Canon. Another plus for me was when I called Canon support I got a person who spoke ENGLISH!!
