LOL I hear your pain-one thing I have learned the hard way using select shades is don't pay attention to the color!! Just follow the chart, I don't know how many times I've colored soap and thought oh sh*t that doesn't look anything like the chart color only to check on it the next day and see it's morphed into totally different color.

I usually add sugar to my lye water, so should I omit that if I decide to use honey or keep the sugar and add the honey- or does it even make a difference if I use one or the other, sounds like they both do the same thing? Honey does add appeal to the labeling vs sugar I think............
-
Firstbatch??!! Geezus those swirls look awesome-that can't be your FIRST batch!
-
I am new to stamping also, my last batch of soap that I stamped turned out pretty good, I am thinking that earlier is better. I took it out of the mold, and cut & stamped the next day after making it. I used a mallet and gave a couple of firm taps-not to hard, not to soft. Worked great, didn't mash up the tops of my soap, etc. Like they say practice makes perfect, lol. HTH.
-
ditto that.
-
for those of you that add honey to your soap, what does it add to the soap? I've been wanting to add either milk or honey but can't decide which:undecided .
-
Kimberly- You stamp the next day? I've only stamped a few times on some bars that were a few weeks old, oops. Next batch of soap I make I'll stamp the next day!! Candybee- You ain't kidding, you should see the first few bars I stamped.:lipsrseal
-
What a great tip, sheesh now why didn't I think of that-do you have any idea how many of those I have thrown away!!! :rolleyes2
-
How does everyone stamp their soaps? I've been using a rubber mallet and the tops of my soap are textured-I've noticed they are either getting flattened a bit or little cracks in them. Is there a trick to doing this successfully?
-
Good ol'plain white vinegar works good to relieve sunburn pain also(smells funky though, lol).
-
Some of the bars are months old and I just noticed they are sweating up a storm. Is CP supposed to sweat? I know MP did horribly when I tried it, but I've never had this happen before. I have them sitting in front of a fan right now, if I dry them up and package them will they be ok? I am so bummed.....
-
It's listed as the preservative in a recipe that I want to try for cream soap (hence posting it in the soap section-oops my bad). I guess I'll go with what the recipe says (optiphen), I was placing an order with WSP & they only had the optiphen plus so I was hoping I could get everything at one place & save on shipping.
-
Can someone explain the difference between the two, I have read and re-read info on both of them and they both seem to be the same?- I am confused.
-
Well the shower went well, here's some pics....sorry the pics are so big,:embarasse .
-
Funny how two little words makes a world of difference. While I agree that lotions and potions oh my is too close for comfort, it still doesn't sound as good as lotions and potions and soaps oh my!
-
I wanted to go cuz it's just too close to me to pass up but unfortunately I'm having a baby shower for my daughter the same day.
-
TFF, cuz that's exactly what mine smelled like!!! Yuppers, Strawberry Margarita from Bittercreek-phew and I thought there was something wrong with my sniffer cuz I wasn't smelling anything remotely close to strawberry, 100% playdoh smell.
-
Hey you have the same countertop as me. Soap looks good too!
-
Yup ditto that also, seems to have disappeared around here also.
-
That just happened to me too, dammi! Only they took out 2 mortgage payments and I ended up with $100.00 worth of overdraft fees, you bet your butt I threw a hissy fit(I was panicing big time) and they are supposed to send me a check for the one payment and the overdraft fees.
-
I use booth labelsbythe sheet & onlinelabels. Both are very good, never had any problems, and onlinelabels will send you free sample sheets to try.
-
Yup, I just haven't had a chance to, but alas I learned my lesson dammit, lol.
-
I set some soap bars on a old dresser-had been stained yrs ago- went to pick up the soap(not sure how long they were sitting there a few wks maybe) and had to sorta peel them off-now the soaps have nasty brown spots... grrrrr:angry2: !
-
OMG- isn't THAT the truth!! I have two girls and one boy and he'd wear a garbage bag without a complaint, the girls on the other hand..........
-
Wow, that is sooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!! I have some body spray base from WSP, I think I may try this-oh but I don't have any of the glitter, where would I find that?
