Ditto. I buy my lye in 50 lb bags. Usually 5 bags at a time. When I need more I just dump a bag in a 5 gallon bucket. I have two garbage bags. The inside one I close and then put my lye measuring cup inside the second. Close second bag and out on lid. No moisture problems at all. Also. Those of...

Hey Everyone... I've been making Loofah soap for about 2 years now. I am now starting to have issues. Here is what I have always done. I have (2) approximately 12-16" piece of PVC Pipe (not sure of diameter. I'm thinking it's 2". I do Cold Process so it makes it a bit tougher. Anyway I...

Has anyone else had an issue with Soaper's Choice since they did a website switch over? I'm about ready to lose it. I have depended on their dependability for the last 5 years and all of a sudden I haven't received my last order. I would always order my stuff (no matter how much it is) and get...

Working on Christmas OK... We've officially starting working on our Fall/Christmas Soaps/Candles. I think I may have taken it overboard but these are the ones we've narrowed down for testing. I've made 24 samples of soaps... Here are the ones I'm impressed with so far: Autumn Day (Aztec...

IrishLass... Good news... Something deep down within told me to save the peanut butter taffy... So yes I have it still up at the shop. I figured someone would tell me how to save it or at worst use it to wash my car. It was a very thick amber colored paste... If I could cut them in little...

Eff Gent... Thanks... Yes the second link is where I got the glycerin recipe from and was excited to try... I followed IrishLass's recipe and technique to the T... OK... I'm glutton for punishment so I'm going to attempt yet again. I'm going to change a few things to see if it was something...

Hey Susie... Actually I should have been more specific. I ran my numbers through the SummerBee SC as everyone suggested for liquid soap. And I actually did put in my values for a 50:50 olive oil/rice bran mix. So where I stated in my post that I put in 15.6 of olive oil I actually put in the...

If it was ricing wouldn't it have riced in the pot. I only use one recipe. I like it and haven't experimented with others. I've yet to come across an issue such as ricing or separation. CROSSING FINGERS SND KNOCKING ON WOOD. I just thought if it riced it did it in the pot. I've had them set up...

Lol. I am not one to get upset. It's just soap. And yes looks funny. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum. Howdy. I've been making CP Soap for years mainly for myself and friends. About a month ago me and Sis in law started making soap to sell and were pushed out to garage by my partner for "messing up the kitchen". I like it there better because its my soap space...
