Wow...I guess I'm too cheap! I sell mine for $2 or 6 for $10

You may be able to find one that fits the ovals, maybe put them at a diagonal in a tray that has squares? I discovered this totally by accident...I was planning on buying the one from MMS but my husband dragged me to one of those stores one day and I was waiting standing there waiting for him to grab all his junk I spotted a shell tray that looked close to MMS' one when the idea hit me. Grabbed my tube out of my purse and started sticking them in all the different trays until I found one that fit! LOL

I LOVE the B&BW Honey and Shea type from Daystar...its YUMMY!

Just a tip- if you have a sporting goods store in your area that sells bullets and reloading equipment (hunting stuff) check there. I'm not exactly sure what they're called- but they're little trays that hold bullets for storage, they're normally near where the guns are sold. I got one there that holds 40 tubes for like $7. It's plastic and the tubes I use fit perfectly.

I second Snowtop- their FO's are amazing!! I love JS though too- here's some that I love and have worked well for me Citrus Linen H20 Mandarin Mimosa Mojito Cocktail Strawberry Jam Caramel Cinnamon Latte Grammie's Berrie Griddlecakes Katie Jo's Pink Lemonade Hyacinth Chula Orchid Girls Night Out Pink Peppercorn

Me and my customers are all in love with that citrus linen H20! I just recently discovered JS oils and I'm sooo in love with them!

Basil Sage Mint, Honey Coco-Mango, Melonade, Lemon pucker and Wild Berry Zinger are all must haves for me.

Those are gorgeous!! I love lavender...I want one! LOL

Those look like decadent pieces of candy! YUM!

I just unmolded and packaged up my first m&p soaps. I sort of wanted the oatmeal throughout the soap but it all settled to the bottom. I guess I need to wait longer before that's added! Hopefully this works, I've never posted a picture here!

Thanks Elle- the mold I bought is actually a loaf one! I thought about some shapes but I personally don't care for the shaped soaps so I went with what I knew I would like in case none of these sell for me-lol! I bought a wavy cutter for them just because I love that look. I just made my first batch and am sitting here as impatient as I can waiting for it to get hard so I can unmold it. I'm not sure if I have any rubbermaid things that would work...but I'm off to scan my kitchen to see what I can use! LOL I feel a very bad addiction coming on!

Thanks for the tips! I feel a little bit better about attempting this now! I bought some cello to wrap them in. It's very dry where I live, but we have a whole house humidifier that's set extremley high so I'm guessing sweating may be a problem for me if I don't package them up right away. I got the goats milk, silk and shea, honey and then the oatmeal bases from WSP- I think I'm regretting only getting one mold though- I want to use all the bases NOW NOW NOW!! LOL

UPS just dropped off my M&P bases. I'm a newbie to this part of B&B...been fighing it for a long time but couldn't do it anymore! LOL I just have a few questions...how much FO do I add per pound? Is it by volume or weight? I've seen some places say ounces, some in teaspoons/tablespoons etc so I figured it be best to ask what works for everyone. How long should I wait to unmold and cut it, and then package it? I've seen conflicting information on the packaging part, some sites have said to dry for 24 hours, other places have said to package immediately. Just curious what's worked for everyone else...I can't wait to go play!

Thanks for the help! I ended up getting my order with Veripack to go through- but I'll save these sites for the future. GT bag is almost half the price of Veripack!

Does anyone have a good source for polypro bags? I've been buying them form Veripack, but for some reason my order won't go through. I need 3x3 polypro zip bags, and then only thing I can seem to locate is polyethylene. Anyone have a good source they can recommend?

I've used them for a few Yankee and Gap dupes. All the ones I tried were dead on. I was pleased.

I HATED Pink Sugar when I first tried it. It grew on me though and it's one of my favorites now! LOL

I'll be using them in wax (I work with soy and parrafin) and in B&B stuff.

I'm wanting to place an order with Daystar. Anyone have any good recommendations or "must haves?" I'm wanting the B&BW dupes of Honey and Shea and Kitchen Spice, anyone have any experience with either of those?

Peaks has a good dupe. I do have to say that the Moonlight Path from Millcreek isn't very good though. Only oil I've gotten from them that I didn't like...it smelled extremely "soapy" almost and wasn't that close of a match.

Black Canyon...a lot of people seem to like it but I had to stop carrying it because the scent literally made me gag. There's a lot I don't like, but I can get past it pretty quickly...just not black canyon!

I use Millcreek's version and it's great. It's worked wonderful for me in B&B and in both soy and paraffin! I've never smelled B&BW's version, but my customers say it's exact!

Summer Breeze, Moonlight Magic and Cherry Slush are all great!

I'll second the soy from Snowtop! It's great! I have never had any problems with it!

Snowtop has an amazing Green Apple. It is knock your socks off in soy and paraffin. It's the most true green apple I've ever smelled.
