Godiva

Thanks!

I saw these somewhere and want to make a few for gifts - does anyone know where I can buy the inserts? Thanks

Thanks. I guess I'll just have to test and see what happens.

nicely put rebecca.

No need to reply - I saw a thread that addressed this issue.

I am considering testing this wax and have a couple of questions. What is this wax's afterburn like? I have tried a couple of soy waxes that form a white line at the bottom of the melt pool when it hardens back up. For me, that's just ugly. Is there a way to prevent this, or is it just a characteristic of soy that you can't do anything about? Or is there a soy wax that doesn't do this? :confused: :confused:

Does anyone have one?

You make some gorgeous soap, Scented! Love all.

Those Haunt soaps and yours Carebear are gorgeous!

Love them all. How do you get your tops to be so thick yet smooth?

Can you make it with cold process?

Thanks!

Top, is there a book or a website that you would suggest to learn more about oils and their properties and how to balance a recipe out?

I only used foamies the one time - decided not to try it again. Had used funky foam quite a few times - but not with goat's milk. I just assumed it was the brand of foam - perhaps not.

I have only seen mylar on the internet - haven't seen or touched - do you cut and fold it like freezer paper, or do you cut it in pieces like the foam sheets?:wave:

It's a foam sheet used for crafts - I've seen it at Joannes, Hobby Lobby and Walmart. I used it for lining my molds like some other folks on this board have. The Funky Foam brand (I found at Hobby Lobby) did not bleed - the one I used was red in color - I can't testify for any of the other colors. It made my soap look real smooth and was easy to line the mold. The Foamies brand (Joannes and Walmart) was red and is what bled onto my soap. Read somewhere on here that some people had some foam sheets that would bleed onto their soap - I thought I searched to see which brand bleeds, but either forgot or didn't get results, so I thought I'd just try this brand. Maybe this will save someone else from spending a couple bucks on the wrong kind!

Maybe, but I think I'll try the funky foam again, or do the mylar thing. For now, it's freezer paper. Think I'll let my grandkids play with what I have left over.

I used Funky Foam with no issues, but the Hobby Lobby available carried only the 8 x 12 size, my slab mold is 12 1/2 inches long. So I checked out the local Joannes and no Funky Foam, but they did carry Foamies in a 3 foot by 6 foot sheet, and I'm thinking should be ok. Wrong. First pic is what foamies did to my soap. Second and third is after the clean up. It's a goat's milk layered soap, no color on the bottom, TKB's green on the top, along with some ash. Fragranced with cool cucumber. My first attempt at layers and goat milk - I used powdered. PS Guess what color the foam was

Those are very nice, very nice indeed :highfive:

Does this simply mean to set your superfat % to 4.5 in your lye calculator? Thanks

Looks great to me! Loved the colors.

Again, I'm still using the same ingredients - red palm, coconut, pomace olive, sunflower, canola, castor. This time I did add FO - Mountain sage from GL. Will the appearance of this soap change as it dries out?

Nice! I like white!

thank you! Checked your website out - loved your soap! Nice layout, too. There are some very talented people on this board!

No FO in this batch - will try that next time. I did make a batch of OHP yesterday and put some FO in it. It definitely looks different that CP! I'll take photos and post. This soap making is fun. Think I might have said that before.
