  1. RRD55 it is. This wick has performed beautifully , six different fo's.
  2. Yes, I have tried so many wicks with these pillars, the rrd's are working great. No trimming.
  3. Try RRD's if you haven't already. they are working great for me in feather palm. Just a suggestion.
  4. Hey, I can get that kind of mottling by adding steric , about 3 tbsp to three lbs of 1343 plus .5 ozs fo per pound. I pour at about 165 into room temp. molds. Oh I also add about a tsp of uv additive per lb.
  5. Doing 3 x 3.5 pillars with Feather Palm Pulling out my hair. I have read all the threads by top, Stella, Henry K, Sabrina etc... Just ordered zincs 51's to try next. The CSN and RRD's fizzle out. I am so done with csns. I am buring one with rrd 55 in it now, started out strong but 2 hours in it's fizzling out. After the zincs I guess it's going to be # 3 square braid or a fire starter lol. Looking for tips , tricks, advice , or a shot of whiskey. I am pouring at 190, these pillars are stunning but I am going nuts with the wicking. Thanks in advance

    Lather

    Prarieannie used to put unscented hand soap in her mp to boost lather. Might try that just to get through what you have. That stinks. Are you adding anything to it that might bring the lather down.
  7. All beautiful. Loving the variety of colors.
  8. Oh and do something like 25 lard 25 Coconut 45 Olive 5 Castor
  9. Try making batches bigger than a lb. I never make a batch smaller than three lbs. I really think that may help.
  10. I'm not crazy about it but my testers love it. Thanks guys.
  11. Just run your business with integrity. Treat your customers the way you would like to be treated as a customer. For me, it just takes away from the enjoyment I get from producing a product that I love producing. Stay off the social networks. And do not get into a debate with a customer via email. Keep it simple.
  12. I do HP in the oven at 170 degrees. Yes! Vanillas will turn your soap brown. Yuck! lol
  13. Maybe I'll do a co op. Have a wonderful Holiday Girl!

  14. Hey Jules, do you use pillar sleeves??? Where do you get them, I need some but not 1000.

    Hope all is well, xo

  15. Soap scents, euc/spearmint lavender Candles, Christmas Memories The pinks are Paris Twilight.
  16. If you go to youtube there are three videos, Making soap ball 1, 2, and three.
  17. Hey girlie, just looked at your site, haven't looked at it in sometime.

    Hope all is well. I am producing again, lol, I have the bug, selling everything I make so life is good.

  18. Maybe try a lager recipe, 2 or 3 lbs.
  19. That information is incorrect.

    Fnwl?

    Hi Tara, they are the closest supplier to me as well, I don't order from them. It is not cost effective.
