TOG is bad news. I'm sorry to hear about FCS as I would not want to wait so long either. The problem these days is probably the economy and running capital is scarce , as most business' are not debt free.

Nothing and the bugs it would grow are worse than the minute amount of chemical preservative used to protect yourself.

WSP recipe:

• 16 Ounce(s) White Sugar

• 4 Tablespoon(s) Clay - Kaolin clay

• 4 Ounce(s) Emulsifying Wax

• 4 Ounce(s) Shea Butter

• 2 Ounce(s) Crafter's Choice Extra Clear MP Soap Base

• 8 grams Phenonip

• 4 Teaspoon(s) Jojoba Oil

• 2 grams Vitamin E

• 4 Tablespoon(s) Polysorbate 20

• 1 Tablespoon(s) Liquid Lake Yellow 6

• 2 Teaspoon(s) Fragrance Oil (your choice)

OK, so I've been searching for other recipes and came across one that only required oil, sugar, clear M&P soap and FO.

Melt soap, add to oil, add color and FO, then sugar, pour into molds, let's set up and cut. Of course, there should be some sort of preservative....

Now the recipe on WSP site requires, e-wax, shea, vit E, Polysorbate 20. Why these extra ingredients?

I did want to say that instead of using e-wax in my cubes, I used beeswax which is why they feel more waxy than they probably should. Right?

Here are my pics. I like how they came out, just not how the perform. I'm making more this weekend - actually testing some recipes.

Thanks

If you want a nice mold in cubes, go to AC Moore or Michaels and get the Wilton mold it has 24 mini squares for about $10. I love it for sugar cubes. I think the reason for the e-wax is to make it firm, Shea to help harden & to help moisturize, Vit. E to help with oxidation & Poly 20 I forget for sure why but it might help with suds.

Yahoo!! Congratulations!! Those look very nice!

Thank you all for your very kind comments!!

Maggie that is too bad, but I guess all is not lost if they will come out in the tub!

Leslie the scent is Pear Berry. Are you gonna make some?

Thank you but they are NOT perfect for sure. They have warts, cracks and dents all over, but they are my first time making any bombs.

My son can't wait to use one. He kept walking by them all day today smelling them and saying these smell sooo good!!

Wow, Maggie those came out great! Ok I'll show you my fugly bombs! I did not do the cupcake I just tried to make the round ones, a heart that crumbled(no pic) and some tablets that came out the best. I didn't stage these as I am feeling ill today.

Scented Pear Berry colored light green. At least they smell like the bomb!

No picture came up Maggie.

You are a hard act to follow!! I'm not posting my fugly bath bombs after those!! Yours look fabulous!!

I have not broke one yet. But these guys are the hardest to do. You have to press them , press them , press them. I lay them down and use a pressing tool. I have my father help me. He has popeye arms... LOL

What pressing tool do you use for the round balls? Where do we post pictures at?

Very Pretty soap!

Oh gee I measured out the correct amount. Girlfriend I have my monthly that just started today and I'm in too much discomfort to do all that work over again. I'll just use them all warty. The ones that are having issues are the balls but the tablets are doing well. I really like the tablets a lot. much easier than trying to squeeze balls together.

Ummm that sounds wrong somehow!

I'll redo the recipe another day, but at least I know what to do if it happens again.

Thanks so much!!

Mine started to blow up but it is very rainy here. I put them in a warm oven, let's see if I can save them. Thanks again!

Thanks that was fun so much that I forgot to come back.

can you scrape down the sided ? mine is sticking

Mix the oils & powders ? Just dump it on top?

This oil mixture is not staying stirred to well.

I'm using a mini processer. I just did the best I could.

How fine do the E salts have to be I'm having a hard time getting them super fine?

wire whipper?

would it effect the fizz? I could use jojoba or safflower?

Is Avocado oil ok

Otherwise I could use the dowel in my kit

I have a round spoon for sauces, will that work?

am I in the right place?
