Wow.....sorry to hear that. Just to salvage you can soak up the oils and butters with a napkin or just pour off the top. Then remelt and add a little more base to what is left (obviously not to sell but for personal use). That way you won't waste the 2 lbs of base.
You'll need a scale or you can eyeball it, if you don't want to be exact. 16 oz is one pound of base. So for example if you are using 16oz of base you can add 5.33 oz of shaving soap. HTH!
Does anyone else have trouble with the screen size of NG's new website? I've tried the website through Firefox, IE, and Safari and each time I have to scroll across the screen to see everything.
I know this is an old post I'm replying to but......... I was just soaping and poured Citrus & Teakwood. It suddenly struck me...it's the same as Daystar's Quince! Has anyone else noticed this?
I haven't see too much posted on WSP's crystal clear base. After trying numerous crystal clears including SFIC's, Stephenson's I'm amazed at just how clear WSP's is! I just finished making over 100 embedded logos with this and I'm very very impressed. I'm not too happy about the ingredients but as far as clarity WOW. Now I just wish WSP shipping charges wouldn't kill me!
I emailed David and he said we can buy our oils from JBN, his sister Martha owns the company. I'm glad I don' t have to find replacements for GL's oils.
I'm saddened! I loved their FO's and their customer service was top notch. I esp enjoyed that they were relatively close so shipping was never a killer. Brenda and David will be missed!
You can get them from the web restaurant store online too. I sell 2 oz for $1.25 or 1 dzn for $12. I sell quite well with the dozen pricing. I call mine tarts and sell them online and at shows. I usually prepackage my holiday tarts in dozen bags so it's easier. If at a craft show I display in bins and people can just choose which ones they want.
I order the Nutmeg from them, and have been for about three years. I like it and it works in my candles, straight and as a blend. You're right they are hit or miss but the Nutmeg is good with a paraffin or soy blend.
I too bought some Vanilla Stabilizer from WSP a while back and it had a bad smell to it that affected my M&P soap. I chalked it up to being 6 months old and threw it out. I ordered another bottle from WSP recently and it has absolutely no smell. I'm not sure if they changed their formula or what but this second bottle is great.
