The mailing tube molds only work that well, since you are able to push the soap out one side. If you make a log or slab mold, you wont be able to push the soap out.

their products seem to sound okay, except their prices are pretty high. ouch. I would say they would be worth it, if you are close enough to drive and pick it up, otherwise I would go with Majestic Mountain sage (MMS) or Oregon Trails for supplies on the west coast.

Eight Oil Neroli Swirl - Redux!
Carriegsxr6 replied to topofmurrayhill's topic in Old Style B & B Gallery
I agree about the Do right mold, they suck at demolding time. You do really still need the liner. I also think the bars are a little too long when cut and not wide enough. i ended up selling mine. Great swirls there. -
The one from Trade Joes is definatley more on the extra virgin side. Its pretty dark in color. Maybe if you find a different type it wont smell as strong. I use pure olive oil from Costco and it doesnt have a strong scent at all and its on the lighter color side.

Sage and Cinnamon -
for me i usually remove 2 cups out of my mixed pot for my swirl and i add about 1/8 of a teaspoon of black oxide to it in order to get jet black for the swirl.

put them in your garage. but i agree for the next time, do a water discount.
-
wow, those are absolutley amazing.
-
These are actually Oxide colorants.
-
gosh i hope those swirls hold up. they sure are pretty
-
this is my kind of soap, love the layers
-
You are correct. Also I notice they do not lather as much as OO or RBO.
-
That Oakmoss Sage sounds divine. Is it yummy scent?
-
those are pretty amazing.

Loving how crazy these swirls came out. Scented Fruit Slices.

I sometimes get crumbly soap when it cools too quickly.
-
everything looks great, loving the liquid castile too.
-
your lye amount seems right, the only other reason i have seen soap crumble other than wrong lye amount, is if it wasnt mixed long enough. Did you bring it to full trace?
-
