I just made a batch of Kim's whipped shea and used unrefined shea and my butter came out grainy, what can I do to get rid of the grainy feeling? I didnt melt it or any of my butters just added the oils and started whipping with my kitchen aide.

I just bought the ED mold and made my first batch of soap in it and the soap just pops right out. I was so excited, thinking about buying another one. I used the box the mold came in and put a piece of shipping tape across the top and it worked fine.

I am thinking of buying the red silicone soap mold from essential depot. Has anyone used these and are they easy to get the soap out? They are the loaf molds. TIA

Has anyone ordered from this company, They seem a little pricey but the ingredients are really good in there body butters and creams. Wanting to repackage and sell. TIA Sharon

I want to make some body parfaits, would it be ok to use Kim's whipped shea for the lotion part and layer it with the aloe? What lotion or cream do most of you use for the cream part? TIA Sharon

I order my portion cups from a suppliers and I get 2500 cups and lids for $87.00 I dont pay shipping because I can pick them up. I use the 1 1/2 oz and they hold 1oz by weight. I dont want to post the supplier on here but if it will save you some money pm me and I will give you the info. They carry alot of different sizes.

I am using the feather palm wax for tarts but I am not getting a good cold throw. I am using FO's from good suppliers( peaks, candle source ,etc.) How is the cold throw for others using this wax. I just switched from soy tarts because they look bad after a couple of months. TIA

Just got my sample of the 3022 wax. Do I need to add anything to this wax to make tarts? I use the portion cups. What is the best temp to pour this wax? TIA

I have some c-3 soy wax and want to make tarts with it but want to add enough paraffin to keep the tarts from turning white after a few months. What would be a good paraffin to mix with the c 3. I love soy tarts but they look awful after a few months. Thought I would try a parasoy mix. Could some one tell me a good parasoy mix to use I rather have more soy than paraffin. TIA

The jar is 2.5 inch, I will try the LX-14 I have some of them. Thanks I will try the CD's, I am already trying the LX- 14

Have been making soy candles for years and wanting to get started in paraffin. I have 4630 in a 8 oz. jj and a 14 lx wick. Just been burning about 30 min. and I think I have too big of a wick. What size should I start with for testing? TIA

Have been making soy candles for years and now wanting to try the paraffin or a blend. Does the 4630 have more hot throw than the 6006? Have been reading about the Kringle candle company, they say their candles are 100% food grade paraffin, is there a difference in the paraffin or is that a sells pitch? Have been reading, reading and more reading trying to decide which wax to start testing. TIA

I had becky to do a website for me about 4 years ago and guess what, I still don't have one but she got my money for it. I like to have never got her to transfer my domain name to me. I also have paid another lady from Canada to do my website and guess what the same thing. They got my money and would not get back to me. I have had the same thing happen twice now on getting website builders off the internet or CT. You know I still dont have a website because the one from Canada has registered my domain name and it isint up until October of this year. I have called lots of times, I have emailed her asking her to just please transfer the Domain to me so I can get my website ready.. I give up!!!! Hope you all are not on the boat with me or you are probably took for the money too!

for soap making at oils by nature. Was thinking about buying them instead of so many different oils to make my own soap. What do you think about them compared to mixing your own oils? TIA

I bought one of those at Holly Lobby about 2 wks ago. They had them 1/2 price which made them $10.00. There is a website listed on the box, I checked it out and they dont sell wholesale yet but are working on selling wholesale in the near future.

I will let you all in on a little secret where all the candle supply places get those cups. I dont want to post it on the forum so send me a private message and I will give you the phone number and company that wholesale those. They are 1.5" X 3.5 " They are the same ones ky candle sold. Glad to help.

So far the soap looks fine, I did the zap test nothing happened. Will try the soap in a few days.

I just made a batch of soap, melted my hard oils and added the lye water, started to trace when I realized it didn't look like a 2 pound batch then it hit me I hadnt added my other oils. I quickly stirred my other oils in and mixed really good and poured. My question is will this batch be ok. or should I dump it? will it be lye heavy since it had started to trace before I added my other oils? TIA
