It's been awhile since we have poured candles.. just wondering if anyone out there using 4761 might share with me the fragrance, color and pour temp?

thank you =) made some today. used crushed hemp hulls/ fresh jersey milk, tussah silk, peppermint oil/ eucalyptus and tea tree oil.

thanks so much for the replies

Anyone have a simple (2-4 oils) very hard bar soap recipe - not using lard or tallow?

I use fresh spring water from a nearby spring and goats milk from a local farmer. A friend of mine has been providing us with fresh jersey cow milk for drinking... anyone see an issue with using it for soap?

I've done 1 pp ounce ... soaps have always been perfect with the exception of Cinnamon and Sandalwood. It was listed as B&B safe however the Cinnamon was a bit strong on the skin. I'll probably cut down to .5 and test it next time.

its per pound of oil or per pound total weight of soap?

Title of thread should be FO per LB

Is there a general rule of thumb for quantity of FO when using FO instead of EO for Soap?

I have seen .33 oz FO pp but I have also seen .66

I searched this board (Soap Making) and havent been able to find anything.

Gingered Cinnamon by www.tbcandlesupplies.com ... excellent hot & cold throw in 50/50 blend.

=( out of stock

THANK YOU!@! :yay: :yay:

looking for a good cinnamon and ginger FO. Anyone have a good source??

wonder if coton candy fragrance from thecandlesource is the same as far as discoloration? Dang I'm glad I (edit)asked you folks(end edit) before ordering for soap!

I want to color a pink sugar soap pink and baby blue and call it cotton candy. Anyone know a good pink and baby blue coloring for soap and where I can purchase it?

I normally dont color soap... I have couple times but I dont have a good place to buy colors for soaps. Help would be much much appreciated

We use CS Lemon Verbena instead of citronella, same family but not stinky!

so what exactly is the chemical component that makes bugs fly away?

Anyone know of a good smelling Bugg Off type fragrance? Something with a blend maybe to offset the stinky citronella smell.

I was going to suggest KYs lumberjack. I have been testing it and love it! Bert's redwood and cedar is good, but definitely not a sawdust scent in my opinion. The KY one is more of a straight wood.

That is exactly what I need. I love you so much thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you so much for the replies

anyone know a good sawdust or wood workshop type of fragrance oil?

Anyone have any suggestions on a good wick to use with 4761?

I have not used Ecosoya PB but have used GW 474. I love the 474 it makes beautiful creamy smooth votives and release w/litterally no effort! I've had great success w/both CT & HT:cool2:

do you add any addtives with the 474?

Oil prices and the of course the religion of AGW. Thanks to High Priest Al Gore and minions of lemmings.

Has anyone used both and picked one for votives? If so, I'm wondering what the outcome was.

I've decided that I'm going to experiment with votives. Currently I have been making only container candles. From what I have read GB 474 is sounding like a wax that I would like.

I would appreciate any information about good votive molds to use particularly with this wax. Flexible? Metal? Best place to purchase?

Anyone seen a kraft soap box with either an acetate window or no window at all?

Or I'm looking for any natural type of soap container.

i seriously love you guys..

thanks,
