Ruina Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Didn't get the color right. I was going for a Cranberry color using Select Shades. I followed their instructions but it now looks like a dark peach color. We'll see if the color changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 some BRV FOs discolor to tan since they have vanilla in them. But the BRV from Oregon Trails doesnt discolor at all. At least from my testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The color can change a lot. Usually SS are true to the chart, depending on the fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Here they are cut. I cut them a bit differently & got better shaped bars, but a bit too thick. I should have the perfect size on my 3rd batch. They say 3 the charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruina Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 thank you & yes jbren & Brenda. Once the soap gelled, the color changed. When I first poured it, it was a light peach/apricot color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
