Michi Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 WOW that's purdy!! Hey what's TD??Oh and I don't mean to be a nitpicker, but I notice that you've been spelling the scent wrong-it' MANDARIN (man-der-in is how you say it). I can't wait to see that cut up, love the color you chose for it, it fits perfectly. GREAT JOB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 lol Thanks for correcting me...I always spell it wrong...and then i think about it and say screw it..lolTD is titanium Dioxide ..suppose to help keep the soap white...but its not gelling what do I do?

slow-burn Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 That looks mighty pretty! Your swirls look great! I was having some issues with mine not gelling either, but if you leave it overnite, I did find that it will happen, just some take alot longer than others. As long as you have it covered, and wrapped well! As someone once (ok, more than once) told me, it will gel when the soap fairy decides that it wants too, LOL! I am impatient as can be too, so I took one or two of mine and did CPOP with them, LOL! Can't wait to see them cut girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherie Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 WOW! Looks great Kris, your swirls are magnificant! Can't wait to see it cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The spots aren't that bad at all! And they'll rub off white in the shower, so it shouldn't be bad at all! (Now, lumps left in UM blue will streak ya with blue, and it's quite funny)Lovin your swirl! Cut off a little piece or use a scrap or something and see if you like the soap on your hands!

cmspath Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Very nice.. you got the swirl thing goin' on... Whenever I add TD.. I add it to my lye water right before I am going to pour it in the oils - but hit it with my stick blender first - seems to work well that way.. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
