Starr Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm going to default to quietgirl because the only time I've gotten soap to come out good is when I've either used her basic recipe or a slight variation on it. IMO, she knows her stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
