  1. I have never purchased a pail opener and have never had any problems. Is it used to open it when the pail is sealed originally or after you have unsealed it?
  2. I don't use a tray. I use pipettes and fill each one individually. My tops look similar to those depending on the temperature of the lip balm.
  3. I use a plastic miter box from Lowe's and my straight soap cutter. I have to press my hand against the back of the soap log or it will move while I am cutting it.
  4. I think her recipes are here! :-) http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?90126-M-amp-P-Recipes
  5. Thanks everyone. I was going for green and brown, but it obviously isn't brown!! :-)
  6. Beautiful and a fun combo! I would have never thought of coffee and roses.
  7. My first attempt at swirling MP soap. I think they turned out pretty well.
  8. The Rustic Essentials link is one that should NOT be used on skin. If you read the description, it is not body safe. This is the one that is body safe. http://rusticescentuals.com/Fragrant-Room-and-Body-Spray.html
  9. I currently use the base from The Chemistry Store, but have used WSP as well. They are both good, but WSP is creamier at the start and doesn't need to be whipped. However, TCS is much cheaper and I can add a few things to it to make it smoother and creamier while whipping it.
  10. I have added sugar, but sometimes I forget and I have always used the default water percentage on soap calc. I really like the immediacy of HP! It is great to have it done and able to use quickly. :-)
  11. I use the same recipes for HP and CP! I also use a silicone mold from WSP (the log mold) and it works pretty well. I have also tried using a silicone oval mold, but they are individual molds and the soap doesn't seem to harden enough in the mold before I try to take them out (even after a few days). I have no idea how to fix that, but they always end up mangled, so I have stopped using those. I would think a tray mold would work a little better than the individual molds. If you are just looking at it for your own use and to get the hang of HP, I don't think the mold will be an issue. :-) Good luck and have fun!
  12. Oh no! Hmm...I have some of the BB neon pink colors. I wonder if I should try that instead?
