    Thinking about making some Sunwashed Linen Soap and Eucalyptus Mint
  2. Carriegsxr6
    yes i would say that is a good deal.

    Hey carebear, let us know how you like this stuff. Maybe someone can get the company to gives us a bigger discount if we do a co-op!!!!! :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:

    the best way to rebatch is use a turcky roasting bag and boil it in water. This gets the soap hot enough to smooth out for re-pouring. Yes you will have to add the missing amount of oil in order to make it no longer lye heavy.
  6. Carriegsxr6
    agreed!! try the RRD 40
  7. Carriegsxr6
    Another suggestion is to add your fragrance oil sooner. i find it blends better and smells stronger when added at a higher temp. dont let the wax cool down so much, add it with the color.

    This means you used too much Lye and it is lye heavy. Your soap could cause irritation. Try to rebatch it or chuck it.

    i would keep the percentage down to 3% or it could smell real bad.

    I would try an HTP 104 first before the 105

    For me, I prefer to use 20% Palm and 25% Coconut Oil. makes a great hard bar but not too hard.

    I have used this wax in the past and have been able to add up to 7% FO load without sweating. I agree with the above post, heat the wax hotter and add FO sooner. Dont worry the FO wont burn off if you add it right when you pull the wax off the heat.

    aprox how large are those bombs? three inches wide?
  17. Carriegsxr6
    HTP 104 or 105 RRD 40 or 47 I have used the above types of wicks with your wax and jar combo.

    micas are used in eye shadow and cosmedics, it should be safe for butters too.

    I also enjoy the soft flicker of light that a candle gives off. very soothing and it sets a nice mood.

    I dont think you are able to cut the pie after you make it. I imagine it would break into pieces. They could have just made 8 individual slices with a single slice mold and put them together in the shape of a whole pie.

    you usually can oly edit a post within 10min of posting it. Also Genwax sells C-3 - but they are on the west coast

    since her post was over a year ago, I am not sure if she will respond to your question. You can purchase snowtop fragranceoils at Indiana Candle Supply. They have a separate section for snowtop scents. They are mostly bakery type fragrances.

    ditto that, Polawax is a vegetable e-wax and you can also use palm steric as your steric acid. Germall Plus, Liquid is a great preservative and containes no parabens
  24. Carriegsxr6
    fairway glass.

    I have used the the embed ones with soy wax, however the pie crust will only work if you add paraffin to it.
