If you put enough veg glycerine in them to roll them up and slice they won't get hard. been almost 24 sitting out and still soft. Maybe I can just put them in molds like bath bombs without having to add more veg glycerin and hope they pop out of mold. I love the rolls but they don't harden for me.

thank you so much

somewhere i missed how to make the meringue topping

now, how to wrap or package these puppies?

made the bubble bars. wow! super bubbly and felt nice. was not sure if would feel soft or not but does. I was going to add an oil to moisturize more but don't think it is necessary. I used the tapioca starch, corn starch, baking soda, veg glycerin, slsa and ocean mist scent.

Lavender Vanilla - JS

thank you. I will check it out. Do they sell smaller sizes to try? I wonder if that is the same as I used before. sounds like it. There are some places that sell wax calling it 50/50 that I have seen. I am thinking of getting the 6006 wax. I believe it is a blend to. Decisions Decisions, lol

I loved Just By Nature soy/paraffin blend wax that they had. Always poured a nice, creamy candle with great cold/hot throw everytime. Anyone else ever use the JBN and know where I could find this kind of wax elsewhere?

No, they are ready to use right away.

If you store in shoe boxes or cardboard boxes, do you leave the lids off or put the lids on with air holes poked in? I didn't know if the cardboard absorbed the scents or not. I currently have mine in plastic storage boxes but finding out that they want to sweat so I am putting the lids on part way so the air will get in. As far as wrapping the cured soaps, I am using soap boxes right now. I have several Dan's bands but I am afraid they will sweat.

No more PoP Colors??????? I am so sick about this. They are so true to color when soaping.

Luminousboutique, does the tuscan apricot and melon turn brown in cold pour soap?

I found this receipe for a Bath Oil and going to try tonight. It calls for:

2 oz. Polysorbate 80 or 20

8 oz. sweet almond oil

.5 oz of essential oil

Vit E (optional if will be sitting for few months) .08 Vit E for 16 oz.

Says the Polysorbate make the oil disperse into the water and helps prevent an oily bath tub. You can also use apricot, grapeseed (but has a nutty odor so may not mix well with your scent), or other light oils.

Fragrance Oil is just an option. You can leave FO out of anything you make.

Since I have the wood lined mold with dividers, I should be able to just put the lid on, wait 30 minutes, then cut, right? I found after making my first batch of soap that the soap was getting very thick and hard to put into the mold. Did I stir too long before adding the salt? makes it hard to have smooth, pretty bars, when thick while pouring. lol.

I read somewhere where the soap may not meet the full trace but who knows. I have had that problem in this cold weather. I started spritzing the top of my soap before putting the lid on and it helped. Don't know if it was the alcohol spritzing or the temperature was better or the trace was better, lol, but I don't vary from the way I make soap so I am thinking the alcohol helped.

I sit mine on a rack to dry and they do great.

slsa is not as drying. i use shea butter in my bath bombs which helps

Besides my candles, I have the Currant in my reed diffusers and the brown sugar and fig. smells so good.

Brown sugar and Fig is one of my favorites all year and another all year is captivating currant from JS. I will have to try the meditarian Fig

chestnuts and brown sugar is a great one all year round.

I was wanting to find a fig scent, maybe a sweet fig scent. Any suggestions?

That is a great idea judy

I will be in a winter craft show in november and scentsy is there but i am still bringing my oils, oil warmers, tarts and candles there. iwasn't told i couldn't and if i was then i would not go to it. they can't let you not sell your things there too just cause scentsy will be there unless they are friends or something and not wanting the competition.

I have several of the 1.5 ml air pump spray bottles that I got on the co op here and making up perfume body spritz with them. I was wondering what others charge for them. Also, what are others charging for a 4 oz. bottle. I use a perfume/spritz base (not cyclo) with f/o.
