    Never seen them, but HOW THE HECK do you use a bar of soap from the bottom up?

    Questions always welcome, and happily answered! It does discolor, this one is from my surplus supply from Old Mill before they went OOB. The mold is 18" long, 3.5 x 2.5 and I used 58 oz of oils and full water..went right to the top of the silicone. The color is BB's Merlot Mica Oh, and there are a couple of those molds for sale at the Dish on SoapSaver if you qualify to buy/sell there. Mine arrived in PRISTINE condition!

    Late to the party, but I ADORE Rhassoul Clay in a facial soap.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes thru all the extra steps. LOL

    hmmmm...ok, sometimes if I get confused when printing different things on each side, befOre I print the first side, I put a little arrow in pencil at the top of the sheet. This way I am CERTAIN I'm inserting it correctly. Try this on plain paper. Print your first side then print the second side on a separate sheet, then put them together and hold up to the light...does it look right then? If so, then you are probably putting the sheet in wrong.

    Are you using one of the Avery templates or have you customized? If it's a template, it should print the same on both sides. I do it all the time with the business card template.

    I believe they were kind of inundated and their production schedule is way behind. Instead of closing their site, they should have just explained it there. I was lucky enough to snag my beauty from SoapSaver at the Dish. I think I'm going to christen it tonight.

    very nice indeed!

    Well, your standards are way higher than any I've seen, because even when they fail, you manage to make something beautiful! KUDOS to you!

    I believe johanna is still carrying some of her supplies, the colorants being one of them. I wouldn't order off the site though, maybe drop her a line at: soap_silly@yahoogroups.com I bought a bottle of KB's True Red at ISOCAN but haven't tried it out yet.

    I have 2 KAs and love them!

    With the depth of those, I don't think they'd generate enough heat on their own to gel anyway, Carol. When I use my MW molds for CP (granted they are a bit thicker material than the clamshells) I gel them in the sun or with another heat source. I think your baking spray should work fine...or a wipe with mineral oil.

    Interested in how the RRD performed in this wax. Those are what I use in my soy candles, and they also mushroom, but no soot.

    I would call them. That almost looks like hemp. Don't know about the coffee odor either.

    That's where I got mine too, and 4 oz is plenty. If doing a whole batch, I mix it right into my oils before lye solution. For swirling, added at trace by itself is fine. It mixes right in with no specks. Just don't breathe too hard when you open that envelope! I transferred mine into a jar, then I put plastic wrap over that, then the lid. edited to add: 1 tsp. PPO will give you a true black.

    very pretty, indeed!

    They all look great!

    I love the shape of the bars the Shapemaster molds make...and they make a nice, manly-size bar of soap! I use them specifically for my male-geared soaps.
  24. jbren
    Mine are in the fridge waiting to be whipped up.
  25. jbren
    That sure is one beautiful batch of soap!
