I like the second one!

I use totally Jewel tones on my candles.

I've tried the additive(cant think of the name) from Barnloft and it didn't do anything.

As a pure soy that doesn't frost. I am so frustrated with the frosting in the ecosoya pure, but I love the throw. I am ready to try a different wax. I really want to stay pure or as close as I can get without frosting. Any suggestions???? TIA

Cyclo is cyclomethicone, FCO is fractionated coconut oil. Both are available at MMS http://www.thesage.com/ .

That's absolutely gorgeous. It looks better than things you would find in a store. I could only hope that my soaps turn out half as good as yours!!!

How do you all orgznize your recipes for B&B stuff?..mine are taking over..

I now have a 2" and 1 " binder full of them..I have to start organizing these incase this loan goes through... I am going to have to have everything right at my finger tips and quickly to save time in the shop..sooo this is what was

"in my pot for this weekend"

I re-typed/printed out my MAIN..use all the time ones..including bases..cause you have to keep notes on those also..like how much dye for each scent etc.. and put them in categories in the 1" binder.

Charts/Info

Soap

Salts/Fizzies

Face

Kids/Baby

Footcare

Bath/Bubble/Milk

Lotions/Oils

Scrubs

Powders/sprays/misc

Then I left a blank page behind each recipe for notes: so I can list..each FO and the amount of dye and Fo for each scent.

Then I took all my other recipes..the ones I want to keep but either have not used yet or whatever..and filed them the same way in the 2" binder.

WOW it is amazing how many I acumulated..and tried..wrote notes on and I have no idea what they mean.. I have to start keeping better notes..now that I have a page to do that on..I will.

Now I just need to go buy a crap load of those clear sheet protectors so I don't spill anything on my nice neat pages.:undecided

Just wondering, Do you offer a course in organization? I wanna sign up! LOL

I just got my 1st order. I splurged and bought 12 scents(8&16oz bottles).

I got:

Blue Skies

Celtic Moonspice

Childhood

Essence of Jesus

Forbidden Fruit

Love Spell

Oatmeal Milk & Honey

Peppercorn

Pink Sugar

Southern Sunshine

& Sweet Tooth.

I have to say that OOB I love them all!!! I just hope they all throw well in Pure Soy and soap!

Thanks for the help Kaybee!

I know this is probably a dumb question, how much FO is generally used in cp soap?Does the amount change if it is cpop? what about hp?

Also if you want to add things like oatmeal, luffa, pumice, or salt, how much should be used and when should it be added?

I'm sorry if I'm asking for too much but I've looked (and I'm sure the info is there) but I just can't find the answers. I think I've looked too much and my brain is just not working right. LOL:D TIA

nevermind, sorry

Can anyone point me in the direction of CPOP instructions or tips? I'm gathering all the info for various processes of soapmaking before I get started. I have all the stuff I need to get started but I'm trying to get all the info I can before I try! TIA

Sounds Yummy! Looks good too, lol.

DUH!!! I feel dumb. I guess I never realized there were instructions there. Thanks so much for pointing it out.

Can anyone tell me where I can get instructions for HP soap. I am getting all my stuff together to make my first batch of soap. I found instructions for CP, but I wanted to get both so I could try it both ways and see which I like better.TIA for any help

I've heard a lot on Robin's tutorial, Can anyone show me where to find it?

That is very cool!!!

Just a guess but couldn't you shoot it real quick with the heat gun, just enough to heat that part of the jar.Does that make sense?

I've tried Frostop and it does nothing! So I'm trying to find something to help.

Does anyone know, Will it help the frosting in 100% soy?

I am just wondering what the benefits are to adding beeswax to pure soy wax?

Have you tried Country Bumpkin from NG?

Ok, 100% coconul oil.....when to add the salt please? Actually detailed instructions would be nice,lol. I would love to make a batch. TIA!

I am using pryme plus.

I actually had done 1 test candle before these. These had a little more FO and the tester I didn't use the frostop. Could it be a bad reaction with the frostop? I just started using this, but I have done several other batches with it and never had anything like this happen. I can tell you though, the frostop doesn't work!
