helwenPoking around looking at soap molds and bases. The melt and pour soap base options are more varied than I remember them being when I was making soap some years ago, but it's nice to have more options. I did read a bit on lye soaps for making your own base, but that's a learning curve I really don't have time for -- certainly not this year.
The spelling/word choice (e.g., "our" vs. "are") are rather abysmal on this site, but they do give a nice little description of the differences between the major suppliers:

There are some great soap molds out there I'd definitely like to play with -- I still have my old soap molds but some of them are warped and need to be retired. They definitely earned their retirement though :D
I already have the cellophane for wrapping them for sale as well as for home use -- my MIL changed to a different method for wrapping the boxed candy so I ended up with several rolls of cellophane and duroroll (looks the same but doesn't shrink wrap). Oh, and still have a lot of skinny ribbon for tying them shut, too.
