Carrie Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I have another batch of unscented soap with gorgeous swirls. Dangit!I forgot the FO in my swap soap. By the time I noticed it was already in bed in my gel box. I'm so sick of unscented soap.I just got done cleaning up my soaping stuff and I'm off to make another batch. BTW, I need a bigger mold. I have an 8 bar log mold, a 16 bar misty creek, another slab mold I don't use, I think it makes 12 bars, a bunch of tonys molds and some 2" rounds. If I keep joining swaps that require 19-20 bars I need a bigger mold. Hmmm, I'd be in soapers heaven if misty creek made a 24 bar mold. Do they do custom orders?

eugenia Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Sucks about the soap. Thankfully, I've never done that. My faux Misty is a 24 bar and I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's ugly, I'm not posting a picture. I put it in the gel box then added two more layers of soaps in the box. It got too hot and looks all ugly. Just as well that it's unscented. I'll shave the tops, they'll be fine. I'll be making a new batch tonight with FO.

Crafty1_AJ Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 If you don't want an unscented swirl, you can just go ahead and toss the fo in with the rest of your oils before you add the lye. Just a thought to help prevent future situations. P.S. Great swirl w/ no fo? Been there, done that. Fortunately, only once! But I didn't need any more unscented, so when I realized the fo was still sitting on the counter, I quickly scraped the soap batter outta the mold and added fo. Ruined one of my best swirls though, dang it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruined one of my best swirls though, dang it! Yeah, I've done that before too. This one was already in the box and covered with towels. I wasn't gonna mess with it. Maybe I'll use it in the next unscented swap...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they do custom orders?You can get a 32 bar MC mold and with the divider, make any size batch you want. Love this thing for big swaps!
