slow-burn

Thanx for the input! It really confused me too! I wasn't really sure what they meant by resume, so I thought I would ask on here before I gave them a call. But I will be calling them to find out more info. It is a juried type show, so the pictures is definately a must. They want to make sure there is no duplicate crafts (or looks of the crafts). But I do need to find out about that resume! Thanx again!

Anyone have any experience putting all of your experience in a resume format? Wanting to do a fairly large show next year (if I get accepted) and they are wanting a resume......I am drawing a blank. Would appreciate any help or ideas! Thanx bunches all!

Ok, so sugar for added bubbles and salt for harder bar. Is it the same as sugar with 1 T ppo? And does it work, or will my bars be all crumbly and crap?

It accellerated like a mofo and had some ricing for me. And it turns into a deep brown fairly quickly when drying. I ended up shredding mine and adding it into an unscented batch and it came out very nice. Fragrance stays good and strong!

Haven't made soap in forever!!!! Lost all my notes to all my b/b stuff when I had a basement flood. Havent' did much of anything since other things were keeping me so busy. So I feel like a newbie again Have to start all over with recipes and everything....GRRRRR! At least most of my supplies made it Now for all you wonderful soapers....what is going good right now? Fragrances that is...since I will have to get some more of these I saw that some are adding salt to thier soaps, what may I ask is this for? Didn't seem like a salt bar. My last few batches from memory did have silk and sugar added, but what may I ask is the salt for if your not doing a salt bar?

What kind of scale do you have? Is there a choice between oz or oz with pounds? If so then you would be able to weigh 1# 2.24 oz for the water. I ran into this problem when I first started before I got a better scale and I just rounded. I wouldn't round the lye up though, if you could weigh to the 1/2 oz, like 6.5, you would just have a more superfatted soap. What is your superfat at now? For the water, if you have a hair less, it won't hurt. What process are you doing?

My vote goes here too! It is the only one that I use, and I can't keep this fragrance on the shelf!

I like the idea of clear, how well do the votives fit in here? Is there alot of slop? Or do they fit fairly good without a lot of moving around? I was worrying about them getting banged up during transportation and at shows. Thanx bunches!

Thank you so much for contributing But I must say....you are such a tease LOL! Right now the website is experiencing technical difficuties, so I must return later, lol! Now would you like to contribute by telling me the next winning lottery numbers? I promise to share :highfive:

Anyone know where I can get single votive boxes? Tried sunshine, and a few others but didn't see them. Currently, I dont' make votives, cuz I HATE shrinkwrapping them, but I know I seen single boxes somewhere! Can anyone help me out? Pretty please?

Do you have a lot of soft oils? This is a recipe and fo that you have used before and had no problems wtih it? The ONLY difference was that you tried to layer it?

I have had a few batches not gel even with insulation (due to the coolness of my basement) and the bars are great, just like Eugenia said. I have noticed though that they were zappy a tad longer than the ones that I gelled. Normally, after gel I get no zap upon cutting. With the non-gelled, I got a zap for a day or so.

Another vote for BCN stick umms! I love them

I know it shouldn't be necessary for you to do so, however, take a pair of pliers and recrimp them so it doesn' t come loose. I understand your frustration, however C&S doesn't make these, they buy them. How many wicks did you purchase? If a lot, then I would try calling them again, and asking them if you all could work out a solution.

you can always rebatch it:)
