I usually just wave the bottle lid 4-5 inches away from my nose in order to smell it. 

Same.  

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!

Do folks wear a respirator when making soap too? Probably, but just checking...small 4 lb batch max.

I'm not sure I know what foaming bath milk is...a liquid that foams? Like bubble bath?

Goodness - how did that get the green light? Awful.

Aw geez. That's too bad.

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.

I completely agree with @xxxAlpha71xxx and @Sarah S - save yourself some pain and keep it simple. 

Hooray! Just lovely!!!

I have used BB's Pure Honey and have found it smells like honey.

Congratulations!!! It looks great! Welcome!!!!

Well done! I love the lion logo! High fives!

Yikes. That's a bummer - and a good reminder. Sorry it happened.

I have no experience with them and I look forward to seeing what you think.

So so pretty!

Way to experiment and persist! I haven't tackled HP yet, but it's on my list

So pretty!!! Wow, I love it! I, too, am looking forward to seeing it on your product.

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...

Perfectly Springy! Love them!

it may also be the 9oz jar to blame

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-

Me neither. Where do you find one?

CS' new cucumber scent

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.

Gorgeous pics! I defer to bfroberts re: watermarking.

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.

@Shari thanks for the tip - that's very reasonably priced!
