Okay...my sbuddy sent me a WONDERFUL 2lb soap mold and I want to use it.

My problem is....I have only done rebatch soaps but I want to make my own NOW!!!!...lol. I dont have alot of supplies but this is what I have: lard, grape seed oil, coconut oil, olive oil and lye....course I have fo and mica.

Is there a recipe I can use with any of these oils and if so...can someone PLEASE share it with me?

Thanks in advance!!

MMS is Majestic Mountain Sage. Website is www.the-sage.com

Thanks!!!

I was going to say MMS. Seems like they have a good variety.

What is MMS..lol...sorry not with it this morning!!

Thanks everyone! I am off to find and order my containers today!!

I am ISO a GREAT supplier to buy plastic jars and tubes (for bath salts). Low prices and shipping though not cheap on service.... etc

I found this but I dont know if it will help you:

Melt, then whip with any ordinary kitchen mixer. Apply with a spatula or pipe out with cake decorating bags and tips. 9 oz. makes about 3 cups of "frosting". Unused "frosting" can be saved for several months. May be colored and scented just like any other soap base.

I found this page http://www.kidsdomain.com/craft/buddies.html it says you can use ivory snow or there are tips on there to make your own. Hope that helps

I tried that one with the Ivory Snow and either I made it wrong or something but it didnt turn out at all!

Thanks!!

Has anyone ever bought a mold from this ebay seller?

http://stores.ebay.com/NO-LINER-SOAP-MOLDS-AND-CUTTERS

There was someone who posted info on this at one time....I would do a search....but yeah....most people including myself...do not think they are a good idea.

umm...that would be an interesting scent!

I dont think I have ever seen it in all my searches for the "odd" scents....but if and when I find it....I will pass it along to you!!

I'm in Goldsboro MD....I buy alot from CandleWic and Wholesale Supplies Plus....they arent to to bad with shipping prices.

debscent: could you pass on suppliers names you know close to MD to me please.

okay...I thought I had it working...but once I got into the site, I cant order anything....can you try and see if it will let you add something to "your cart"?

Anyone know if thecandlesource is down?

Not sure what happened but I got it working now...lol

All that searching I did for the Bacon FO.....I know I saw pickle and I cant remember where now....will see if I can find a link!

candle cocoon has it in their "scent event"

I use an elec. mixer....just a small 3 speed one. I bought it few years ago on black friday for like $3 from walmart...lol....but hey that $3 went to good use.

I use a whisk if I just need a little wax.

Hi, thats what I do....I've tried while the wax was still hot and it doesnt look very good. You can also whip the wax too...like for cupcakes and such.

Yup...sure enough it is illegal to put things inside of a mail box.....but not to place something on the outside. I was told you can roll a flyer up and place it behind the flag.

Thanks!

What preserative works well?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I found this link http://www.fssoapworks.com/

not sure if its the right place though.

I followed this receipe just a few nights ago and I love it!!

She has gotten big...and is SO cute!!

Hi, yup...for me candle making started being "my time"...once everyone was in bed I would stay up til 4am or 5am just making them away...very good way to relax!

Then I was bitten by the mold bug ....I started by buying silicone mold making material through candlewic....made some really cool ones. maybe check them out and see if silicone is the way you want to go.

Good luck on your search!

Funny you should mention your brother and soap. I do all rebatching...haven't got over being afriad of lye yet..LMAO.

So I get 5 pound blocks or 10 blocks of soaps.

I remember the 1st time I order a 5 pound block of goats milk soap and my brother came over while I was giving rebatching a try.

I had started by cutting the soap in workable pieces and my brother picked up a piece "whats this?"....I said goats milk soap. My goodness I thought he was going to throw the darn of soap across the room...lol...he was like YUCK...that is SO nasty...I still don't understand what is so nasty about.

very nice I like them!! Do you sell them online? I would love to buy one for my mom for valentines day.
