    I don't use PKO right now and my soap is very hard. I just up the coconut a little or use lard. Sometimes, I use soy or beeswax at 5-10% to get a super hard bar.

    Definately get the pouring pots! They are less messy than improvised ones. If you need additives (vybar, UV inhibitor) BCN has a very inexpensive all-it-one additive.

    Your gel candles will be safer if you use the correct wax, wicks, and FO. I only use Penreco gel and gel safe FO's.

    FYI- if any of you are members of the soapdish forum, I have a tutorial with pics on how to make these.

    I use the gelwix from BCN. They come in small, med, and large. My gel candles burn about 3 times longer than paraffin.

    I haven't made any fall soaps yet, but you got me thinking of pumpkin and cranberry! Yum.

    I bought a big jug a couple years ago and put it with bath salts to make a sore foot soak with tea tree and patch EO.

    I use ezsoy. I mostly make ice cream candles and it works well. I like that I can get it from BCn which is somewhat close to me.

    I think what you talking about is just done by buying the right mold. Let me know if you can find a pic.

    If you live near Michael's or Hobby lobby, you could get MP soap base.

    Love the crinkly edges!
  17. blacktortoise
    Are you talking about ones with dome tops and beveled edges? You can get a mold that does that. I have a polycarbonate mold that makes a domed to with edges.

    I just use soy for my cappuccinos- it's a lot cheaper than gel.
