  1. Hi!

    I'm wondering if anyone makes soap embeds or buys them somewhere? I make cold process soap and looking for embeds as in small fruits ect to put on top of my soap. I would prefer to buy them ready made! Any suggestions?

  2. So I've been asked to make pillars from Feather Palm as I always pour. My question is this. I'm supposed to make 2/6.5 pillars. I've been looking at wicks and recommend is rrd29. I will be test burning but just wanting to know if anyone makes this size? I am having a really hard time as in Canada they don't sell this wick on the spool so I have to order USA which is fine just want to get it right! Any suggestions would be so appreciated!

  3. So I have worked a bit on the size of the batch of soap i want to try. I have put it thru the calculator and hoping its right.

    Coconut-22.oz

    palm-6.oz

    mango-4oz

    Lye-5.6oz

    H2O-13.8oz

    I am looking to make a bar that is white in color and lathers well.

    36.7oz.

    Lye:

  4. I am looking for a CP recipe that has very little Olive Oil and lots of coconut oil and comes out white. Any one want to share a recipe? I have one that I have used for years but it has lots of Olive Oil and wanting to change it to coconut, palm and mango butter. It could have a bit of olive oil. I also would like a bar that is whiter then my recipe. Any ideas would be great!

  5. :sad2:I have been using the same recipe for 5 years for my cp soap, and this week the first 2 batches were great and the next 10 I can hardley get to a thin trace? I am ready to cry as I am pouring for a store and not my self. The only thing that has changed as far as I can tell is my stick blender broke and now I have been trying to use a mixer with 2 beaters. I am wondering if this could be the problem? I have tried 2 days of everything from cleaning to new scale new thermometers? Any one have any ideas?
