  1. I'd call it a "floral"~one of their "house blends"; strong and sticks very well.

    Here's what it says on the scentreviewboard: http://scentreviewboard.obisoap.ca/viewtopic.php?t=2751

    It does give a slight pinkish color, as I didn't color it at all. The only added color is the chunks of Orchid~the Pink Sugar went naturally brown, of course, as everyone has experienced. I can't tell you about whether is misbehaves in CP, but does fine in HP.

  2. "Martha Molds" are what I've used in abundance.

    The Martha Stewart plastic drawer organizers at KMart.

    1 holds 3lbs of soap and then you can just slice it in about 1" sections.

    they sell'em in single and 3 divided trays~last through MANY soapings.

    Line 'em with freezer paper and just grease up the ends with vaseline.

    Here's my first batch of HP in the 3-fer tray

  3. go to soapcalc.com and play around with the numbers. You need to get familiar with the properities the oils/fats bring to the soap to determine what it is you are looking for in your "ideal" bar. Everyone is looking for various different qualities and you may prefer creamy bubbles to big bursting bubbles, for example.

    There's a lot of homework involved before you dive into that first batch~read up and get a good base knowledge, then you can start oil shopping. I'm still a newbie (learned last summer) learning something new every day when it comes to soapmaking, that's for sure.

  4. How did you get the Pink Sugar to turn ANYTHING other than dark brown!? WAhhhhhh...mine is always so dark, I'm hankering to get some of Connie's version of Blue Sugar so I don't always have brown soap with the vanilla/sugar scents! LOL

    The Cool Water is heavenlyl!
