I use the lilac from WSP and I love it. I'm a lilac freak and this smells so good. My youngest son detests the scent of lilac and he detests this FO from WSP, so that's a pretty good judge of how good it is too LOL

I've reheated soap starting to set more times than I can count and the same with the "oops" stuff that we just don't like. I've redone those as well. So far my microwave has not blown up

Excellent, I'll definitely be trying that thanks again

I see you're in PA, if you're interested in some fused glass pendants made from "upcycled" beer bottles let me know, I would be happy to send a few to you I assure you they do not look like beer bottles anymore and unless you thought that might be a selling point, you don't have to mention it at all

I've done them in PVC, I did it wrong though I think LOL I stuck the whole loofa in then poured the soap over it, thinking I could just slice it later. It sliced, but it wasn't very clean because the loofa is pretty hard.

There are two programs out that allow you to use basically any image and convert it to a cuttable file for use on the cricuts. If you have either of those you really don't need to invest in cartridges unless you want to. I have I think 4 cartridges and I purchased those before I found the companion programs ( sure cuts a lot and/or make the cut ) they're both fantastic and you'd be amazed at everything you can do with the cricut once you have one of those programs. They both run about the same cost as one cartridge so well worth it.

I usually slice them somewhere between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch depending on how deep the mold is I'm using. Usually though it's closer to 1/4 inch

It really depends, when I put it in a M&P soap, it usually lasts me about 3 weeks. If I put it in a CP soap, using one of my harder recipes it lasts even longer

Thank you for that tip I've been staring at the parchment paper for months and months wondering if it would work the same. I learned the hard way years ago that wax paper and freezer paper are NOT the same LOL so I was hesitant to try parchment paper !! Good to know it really works the same !

You can certainly use the expression to make labels for your candles. It can also be used to create various types of packaging and decorations on your packaging...so while it may not necessarily be "wax, wicks, and the like" it can most definitely be used in a related way to candle and or soap making I'm pretty new here, but I can't imagine why something of that nature wouldn't be allowed in the classifieds here.

I'd also like to know how this test went. I'd love to find a good soap for psoriasis and ezcema...especially the ezcema I have it terrible at times and nothing ever seems to work.

I just might give this a whirl, I'm tired of freezer paper

That's pretty much what I do yes. I use the soap/loofah as a scrubby on it's own, when the soap is gone, I toss the loofah and grab a new one

I don't use a cartridge for the boxes. I have a matchbox svg file and I use the make-the-cut software that works with the cricut. It allows you to basically create your own designs and cut anything you want...not just the stuff on the cartridges.

No, it's for the boxes. I use a "matchbox" type box, just made it large enough to hold my soaps and then cut them from cardstock on the expression. I use the Make-The-Cut software for this, since I don't believe there are any cartridges for the cricut that would make the right size box.
