    Can I use a kitchen scale for measuring both soap and food?

    I personally do not. I keep my tools totally separate. But, that is just me.

    Box opener's (people)

    We use boxes from Wholesale Supply Plus with the rectangular window on the front. The opening is large enough for people to smell the soaps. The label that we use covers the top and back of the box so they cannot open the box from the top. I have never had anyone try to open it from the bottom.

    Ideas to get rid of excess soap in a hurry?

    Please do not sell your soap at this time. From all of your previous posts, you have only just begun making soap very recently and need more time to perfect your soap before you sell. Let your soap continue to cure. Test it periodically to see how it is performing, if you are getting DOS, how...

    Best simple cold process soap design technique for a first time artesian soap maker?

    It is so exciting to start the soap making journey! Good luck to you. You need to follow the recipe exactly. Not kinda. Not sort of. Exactly. We do not add a pinch of this oil or a dash of that. When you run your recipe through the calculator most tell you what kind of bar you will get...

    Bulk Apothecary Rant

    I am sorry that you had to deal with that. That is just craziness! I avoid them because of that exact additude. I buy from Wholesale Supplies Plus which has free shipping with a $25.00 order. However, they do charge a processing fee of around $6.00. I also love Nature's Garden for...

    Pouring oils cleanly, mixing Palm oil and various other questions(aka tell me I'm not too stupid for this)

    I have found that making sure I have no distractions really helps. And I don't try to multi-task when making soap. Before I start a batch of soap, I gather all of my ingredients and set them out. I measure water, lye, solid oils, liquid oils, then additives. I measure in order from greatest...

    Soda Ash Woes

    I used to have the same issue. I now use a water reduction and no longer have soda ash. I also do not gel my soap.

    Am I overly worried about lye?

    Respect the Lye ALWAYS! I learned the hard way. I had taken my glasses off, tapped my soap one final time and ended up with soap in my eye. I ended up at a specialist to treat my eye and was lucky that he was available on the day that I got injured. The pain, medical bills and healing...

    Wholesale supplies price increase in mostly everything

    I have noticed the price increase as well. I like Nature's Garden more and more. I am fortunate that I can drive to WSP and avoid the handling fee and delivery wait but the price increases are a bit much.

    Post your Gripe

    I am so sorry this happened to you. You can try downloading the UPS app and changing your delivery address there. I love the app and have had no issues with it. But, i have never had to change my delivery address.
