I have word 10 and can't download any of the templates. It doesn't show the gridlines of where the template is suppose to be. Anyone know if this is fixable?

TIA

Anyone know where I can find any of these from a wholesale supplier?

Does castor oil doing anything special to mp soap?

They have the same mold at Elements and it says each bar is 4 oz. Do you think a little more could be added or will that not work?

How many ounces is the max you can fit? On WSP it says 3.5 and Elements it says 4. I'm hoping it will fit 4.5.

Well as some of you know I just start experimenting with lip balm, lotion and mp soap. At craft shows I sold candles and liquid soaps and I've done well just depending on the show some only want to buy soap while other only want candles. I will say a big seller for me at shows was hand sanitizers. Sold out of those everytime. I introduced those in the fall and heard a lot of people saying they were good stocking stuffers. So I don't know if I should continue in the spring and summer. Are people still using those then?

At stores I sell mostly candles.

What sells better for you at stores, parties or craft shoes?

I feel the same way. I have an 8 year old and a 3 year old. My eldest one I am not worried about its my youngest one. I'd have to store everything in the basement for him not to get into it. I really want to learn too but I'm waiting until I take a soaping class on the 16th. I can't wait.

They look great to me! I love the color! I love anything patch, too. I do these too, but a little different. I slice the loofah 1st, then embed in a single bar mold. Right now I'm using silicone snowflake molds and hemp soap. I get my loofah at the Christmas Tree Shoppes for 1.00. They're about a foot long, I think.

Where did you get the silicone snowflake mold?

Okay I am waiting for my package to arrive today so I can do my first loofahs too.

Wait did you say Christmas Tree shop has them? Now I need to check it out and ofcourse you can't go in there for just one thing.

Nursenancy can you post your pic how you do them?

Okay she emailed me back and said any of the "Brights" do not cloud. I asked her if she had a sample pack of them and she said not at the moment but it's on her to do list. Now do I put my order in or wait ?

Cool thank you. I'm assuming it only at the super ones.

Where is it located and what does it look like?

I've been checking out TKB's colors. Wow they are cheap and have lots to offer. I'm real excited that they have non-bleeding. I will start to be making both white and clear MP. How will I know which colors I choose will stay clear in in the clear base? Do all the non-bleeding stay clear or turn cloudy?

That you have to put in every batch?

Does anyone have a pound of confetti I can buy and try?

So is it cheaper to buy a premade or make your own?

I buy it often to let the kids use, and I also will give a small sample baggie as a little thank you to my customers.

Does it sell for you? I noticed a lot more site arent supplying them anymore.

anyone?

Candybee, have you ever tried SFIC and if so what are your thoughts on it?

Now that I've got my formulation down, I like to make big batches that are unflavored and use that as my base for small runs of certain flavors.

Do you mind me asking what your formula is?

What is cheaper to make your own or buy a base? Also if you buy an already base which supplier do you recommened?

What base does WSP use? Is it Stephenson?

I typicaly use 1 tsp palm stearic; 1/2 to 1 tsp CO; and 1/2 to 1 tsp OO to one lb of soap to harden it and add moisturizing and conditioning.

Which coconut oil?
