    What's your favorite milk to soap with?

    In order: Butter milk Raw cows milk Coconut milk (goat is next on my list to try). Although I do have to say milk soap isn't really my thing. I don't dislike the soap but I prefer a much bubblier rather than creamy sort of lather. I make milk soap for others but for me I like water, aloe...

    Where Do You Cure Soap?

    We live downtown in a large city. We have a loft with 15 ft ceilings. Due to size we have to be very creative with storage. That said, the high ceilings actually give me an advantage because everything else including built in closets is standard height. The soaplings live on wire shelving on...

    My very first volcano-what did I do wrong?

    This may be a silly question but... What I'm getting from this statement is that floral FO's do better with full water. Is that the secret I'm missing when working with florals? I haven't heard this before. I usually do 33% water vs a full 38. Florals aren't usually a huge problem but some do...

    Washing with glitter?

    I beg you, please don't use glitter! It is pure evil! :twisted: While I don't know of any evidence that it will harm your soap or anyone else, I am thoroughly convinced that... Someone, somewhere, once upon a time, threw a handful of glitter in the air and that glitter is still torturing all...

    Rustic or Perfect soap!?!?!

    I don't think you're redneck for liking the rustic look. :wink: Some just prefer that look. I did a small market survey (since my market consists of me, the Mr & our ungrateful prince of darkness teenage spawn, this may be a bit biased). We're city dwellers, like heart of the city, 40...

    just for fun....

    3 at the kitchen sink. 5 in teen boy spawn's shower & 15 in our shower. Soon to be 18 when the sink test is over and they migrate to the shower. Yes, I have 10 soap dishes in my shower. They all hang on the back wall in their little wire cages...it's my own personal little soap zoo! : )

    Best water for mixing lye

    You should be able to find distilled water at the grocery. Usually ours has it by the soda/drink section. Sometimes you can find it in the baby section. We personally use Reverse Osmosis water. We have an RO system (thanks to our secondary hobby of keeping salt water fish) so we make it...
