Scented Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 How in the world does anyone get it? I think I've gone through all of my reds: select shades (all the various reds I could muster); neon red (TKB); Red oxide; brick red etc. I'm tired of my reds turning pink. I means guys aren't going to really want to use pink are they? Would anyone who gets a fabo red care to post a pic of your red in CP soap and how you attain it? I'm too close to axing red from my soaps (and I can't really do that, thought quite tempted lol)My blasted Sanguigno Orange & Patch is orange and magenta/pinkish and that looks wrong lol. My drakkar, Ripe Tomato appears to be headed for a pretty purplish pink ... egads. There has to be a secret, because right now I'm looking at a bunch of road kill soap.

jbren Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have the Extreme Red which was from DragonLily. She is no longer in business, and if I remember correctly, the colors were being sold by SoapSilly...and I don't know what the story is there...whether she still sells them or not.I bought True Red at ISOCAN from Kangaroo Blue, but haven't used it yet.Here are 2 with the Extreme Red...Christmas CabinRed Hat Society Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeInPdx Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I can't post pics right now, but I will say that Brambleberry's Brick Red oxide does NOT turn pink in CP soap.I used it in my bayberry over Christmas at 1/4 tsp ppo, and it's the same color as the Lifebuoy soap in "A Christmas Story" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Do you have it posted at the Dish? If so, can we have a link? Is that against the TOS, anyone? You can post a link to your own stuff, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 As far as I know you can. It's just posting stuff to sell your stuff that's a no. As for brick red, I'd like to see it. Mine comes out a dark red and that isn't blazing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnt Mill Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I ran into this problem this weekend as wellmaking enchanted appleI used BC bright red gel tone and got about every shade but a nice redI have also used southern soapers neon red and about the same results.I mentioned this on my blog this week when I showed the picture of the enchanted apple and someone suggested"Oregon Trail Soaps is a great place to find a red that will actually STAY red in you soap. It's amazing stuff!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Go figure! LOL! It wasn't that long ago I ordered from them. Takes a whole week to get an order here sigh. Will have to use up stuff so I can order it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Go figure! LOL! It wasn't that long ago I ordered from them. Takes a whole week to get an order here sigh. Will have to use up stuff so I can order it.OT - That's the one that takes alot. I got a red, not very bright mind you, but a red nonetheless. But to get the faded red I got, took more than I liked having to use.Jbren - your soaps are beautiful!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndulgentCreations Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I've emailed Soap Silly trying to find out about ordering the red but don't seem to get a response. Website says colors are the only thing they are offering but maybe not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooniper Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 No help here but I made a lovely red oxide with a brown oxide contrasting color...was sooo proud cuz it was soooo pretty. It looks like a murder scene when used in the shower! I just cannot guage how much oxide to use!! I already have a terra cotta colored dishwasher from a long ago attempt at this. Would love to have a red that won't look so ....bloody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 So we need shadow a supplier and get after them to get a real red that isn't going to turn a lovely pink in Drakkar (grrrr) or magenta, but actually be red. Who shall we haunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnt Mill Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 hey just had a random thoughtwhat about the rainbow mica's BC is offering now?
