Well if they don't work then why have I gotten them to work before? BB is a thinner and preservative, if your oil is thin enough you don't need BB. I have sucessfully made gear with NO BB i'm just trying to find a better, easier oil to work with. So far the Baobab looks very promising and very easy to work with, just have to see if it holds good. Just can't figure out why my MCT didn't work, i even tried it with BB and still crashed. Well not sure it's MCT, it's fractionated Coconut oil is that the same as MCT?
