Hi Joyce, and thanks for sharing such great information.

We really like Brambleberry, especially that special touch of including a 
free sample of scent (or something nice) with every order.  That will 
certainly keep us as customers.

Yes, we've purchased some of the plastic flexi-molds.  One of them has two 
round and two square molds, and the other one has two ovals and two 
rectangles.

We've just ordered several of the smaller guest soap molds in a nice variety 
of shapes, and yes, we're going to try those and use them as giveaways to 
start getting our product out once we've tested and are ready.

BTW, we poured our first batch yesterday, and the soaps set up beautifully!

How long should they cure before we try them?

Liz
