Just a ? What is in the coffee cups? Not wax??? By the way extremely awesome!

Thanks! I will give that a shot!

Moonshine, if you don't mind me asking what temp did you pour at? I am sooo frustrated! I have tested and tested this wax. I have a 3" to 3.5" 16 oz mason and using CD 12,14 and about to try 16's I can't get a single HT even with soy test FO. I melt at 185 add FO at 165 and pour at 135 for the most part? Can you help with any suggestions? FO load anywhere between 6% to 7.5%

I use WSP and it is dead on!

I would definitely buy one!

I haven't but I know the one from Bitter Creek South was an instant hit! It left my hands very soft! I need to order more!

I have never seen a criss cross wood wick..I've seen wood wicks but not in a criss cross shape!

I've never heard of liquid lakes. Thanks for the tip!

I got mine from BCS. It was great!

Hillbilly Home brew, Amish Friendship Bread and Christmas Splendor are a few of my favorites

I live way south...southeast NM and I know what you mean by shipping! It's a killer! I use BCS in Staford, TX I believe. That is the closest one to me.

I googled those ingredients and came up with a ton of stuff!

I was going to say that Swift's Cuticle Balm sounds like it would hit the spot!

What color of kaolin? Kaolin is milder than bentonite! Bentonite is a highly absorbent clay that pulls oils and toxins from the skin. Kaolin, depending on the color is milder and can be used, in most cases, on sensitive skin. Bentonite Clay is a combination of montmorillonite and volcanic ash. Bentonite Clay is a highly absorbent clay that pulls oils and toxins from the skin and is one of the best clays for making clay poultices. It is best suited for oily skin. Bentonite Clay is also a good clay for shaving soaps (use about 1 tablespoon per pound of soap) and for use as an oily hair and scalp treatment. Kaolin Colors: Pink Kaolin Clay is a gentle clay, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. Pink Kaolin Clay does not draw oils from the skin and can therefore be used on dry skin types. Pink Kaolin Clay can be used in body powders to keep skin dry. Red Kaolin Clay is mildly absorbent and is used for drawing oils and toxins from the skin. It can be used in facials and body wraps for normal skin. Red Kaolin Clay can also be used as a natural colorant in soaps. White Kaolin Clay, also known as China or White Clay, is basically kaolinite and is the mildest of all clays. White Kaolin Clay is suitable for sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. White Kaolin Clay does not draw oils from the skin and can be used on dry skin types. Yellow Kaolin Clay is a mild clay making it suitable for sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. Yellow Kaolin Clay does not draw oils from the skin excessively and can therefore be used on most dry skin types. It can be used in soap and body powders. info pulled from FNWL https://www.fromnaturewithlove.com/default.asp

I'm sorry, that sucks! I use micas for my bath bombs. Someone suggested wiltons food dye but I haven't tried it and I don't know if I want to...I love me some micas and they work great!

http://www.suppliersbystate.com/state-listings.php This might help you a little also.

That was my suggestion also...Texas Natrual.

I'm kind of new to this board too and I hope that linking is OK but this lady is amazing and I know if you are a newbie you will love this blog! http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.com/search?q=bath+bombs she has a few recipes on there for feet but it should get you started. I suggest baking soda, citric acid, epsom salt, FO or EO and TRO maybe corn starch for supplies and witch hazel...I use someone else forumla from another board and it is awesome...if you want more information where to find it pm me and I will be glad to help! There are some rules that will help you when adding oils...one suggestion is to: Take a half cup of your dry powder mixture (baking soda/corn starch) put it in a smaller bowl and mix all your "wet stuff" in that; mix it up very well, then add it back to your big bowl. Mix it in very well with no clumps (cuz it will leave uglies on your bath bombs). Another is to add citric acid at the very last...and mix like heck! It will help it not activate the citric acid while mixing. I use witch hazel in a spritz bottle to help me keep it at wet sand consistancy...it is less likely to activate the citric acid....spritz and mix and spritz and mix...I've had too much coffee...spritz and mix! HTH!

This in an amazing place that will help you any time you need help. http://www.excelforum.com/
