Brenda Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 After my "beginner's luck" happiness followed quickly by my saggy bombs (that doesn't sound quite right, does it?) experience I made it my mission this weekend to fuss with my recipe and alcohol until I got the dang things right! So I added a bit of mango butter and switched to 99% alcohol to spritz with while mixing and I think that this has done the trick! Here are my results (at 12:00 going clockwise are Sassy Violet, Luscious Lemon, Watermelon Slice, Mary-Mint, and Sugar Cakes):And bomb bars made with the mixture that I couldn't get in the bomb tool at the end of the batches:Thanks for checking them out!

Brenda Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Thanks so much everyone! What colorants are you using?Right now I'm using food colorings. It mixes in pretty well after I decided to include a small amount of Turkey Red in my oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
