CareBear Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've had 3 failed CP batches with the FO1st never set up at all, and after 2 weeks of hogging my mold I tossed it, 2nd was a salt batch that was all nasty and soft and crumbly, and this last one is all oily - drippy!Granted the last one overheated cause I'm still trying to figure out how to soap in my new digs.But has anyone successfully soaped SW's Neroli de Orsini? Or anyone else have failure stories so I don't feel so much like a failure myself LOL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleOH Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've soaped it with no problems. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I've soaped that one without problems too. Just regular CP though -- not salt bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Well, good to know it's jjust me LOL. Actually the oily batch seems to be doing ok since I let them soak for a day and then blotted. At least they firmed up. Fingers crossed....

RobinInOR Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yup, soaped it too, seems well behaved enough but I could never sell it. It does discolor kind of yellowy in the light, but they state that. I don't use much, it's pretty strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I couldn't sell it either. Puzzles the heck outta me. Nice strong floral ~ very pleasant (and I normally don't care for florals). Even tried name change; didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca_IA Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I don't think I've ever soaped this one straight up, I could have and just don't remember it. I use this one in blends a lot, that I do know, and don't remember every having issues with it at all. Love this FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 what do you blend it with rebecca? i loved it oob but am not thrilled with the scent in soap anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca_IA Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yuzo Japanese Grapefruit from SW. Mixed it 50/50. Used .5 oz pp of oils and it's strong at that, but it does fade some after time but when you use it, it does come back to life again and is still strong. These 2 are my favorite FO's to blend together. Also with BB's Amber. 3/4 of the neroli and 1/4 BB's Amber. Held about 3 cups of soap out (so it didn't get the FO in it, total batch size was 3 lbs) and did a swirl with a purple mica and rose clay and it turned out beautiful. This batch went so fast I really can only say the scent lasted 5 months without fading or morphing. That's all I can think of right now.
