Do you use a silicone mat in your PVC tubes? That is what I have planned on using, my husband was a woodworker, and when he was alive he made me wooden molds to hold the ends of the tubes stable after they were full. He passed away and then I just quit soaping along with just about everything...

Goodness MobJack Bay , you are so talented that it just inspires me to keep plugging on, and on, and on! Your feathers are fantastic and for the first time this Spring I am not going to be mad at the city where I live because they are always late to mow down the dandelions, I will be out in the...

Thanks, Misschief! Looked at the site and am going to purchase the lip balm recipe and see how it works with another butter I have because I can't use beeswax in any of my recipes as it dries out my skin. I have found out over the years that a lot of folks that are allergic to bees have the...

It's been a while since I have looked at any other places for recipes, I know about SwiftCraftMonkey, who else are you chatting about?

cmzaha, find out who the manufacturer and name of the "uber biological med" look up the phone number and ask the receptionist for the department that helps folks who can't afford to pay for this product. The hospital where you were at should have sent someone from social services to see your...

Saponif, you and I are in the same boat! It hasn't been quite as long for me and thank heavens I have a lot of my old recipes that I really liked but I am going back and tweaking my lye & water ratios, and I don't remember about the iodine numbers and what they mean! I feel like a newbie all...

This is in 2# Bottles which is perfect for me and I don't let the "littles" go into our basement, too much for them to get into! I will give Shay & Co. a shot. Thanks for the tip!

I just put in a Google question about where to buy food-grade lye for soap making and Walmart popped up with what I think is a pretty decent cost of $4.39/# for 10#'s with free shipping. It is made by Florida Laboratories. Have any of you folks used this brand, I read the reviews, there was...

When I first joined the forum I looked for men's fragrances and found some in the new member category if I remember correctly. One of them was a dupe for Old Spice: 1 part nutmeg EO to 2 parts sandalwood FO, the west were lots of different EO mixed together. Another was called Dude: 1 part...

Congratulations Sting on your first, very beeutiful batch of honey and comb soap! Please join us, everyone here is quite friendly and helpful!

I read somewhere that if you wipe the outside of the bottles, pail & gloves with a dryer sheet you won't have much of a problem with static. You can use the sheet over and over when the stuff on it wears off, just grab another one. I use wool dryer balls, so I wonder if a piece of wool would...

What kind of lard are you using? I have used beef, pork, and goose tallow and never had these problems. After several years of not soaping I am getting ready to start again, thank heavens! All of my soaps were made with fresh goat's milk so it has been interesting to read about the several...

I used to have two minipoo's that were shown, let me go look at the shampoo I used on them and their conditioner (Isle of Dog) and I now use on my CC'ed. Your's looks great for conditioning but you also need to remember their coats collect a lot of dust and debris in that month in-between...

I went to Amazon and bought cheap, thin silicon mats, cut them to size and they work great

The only time I use it is to wash my dogs' faces so it won't sting their eyes!

Thanks, Zany. I keep thinking of looking there and then forget...am going to look right now!

Baby shampoo is extremely drying! The pediatricians recommend it only when babies are first born to remove Cradle Cap and then say you can use it but, not every day.

Sounds like it is going to become the big box store of soap supplies which means they might be able to push a lot of the smaller sellers out the door. It makes me mad so I am going to start looking at the smaller businesses and try buying more from them as I don't think their prices are going to...

I don't recommend smelling the neem oil either, it reminds me of toe jamb, I know disgusting description....it is what it is!

From one seamstress to another, STUNNING, I know what h_ll you went through with that collar and the beading, I have done some wedding and prom dresses and finally quit. My specialty is Heirloom Christening Gowns which I love doing, along with the heirloom clothing, although my grand's are...
