    Salt Help

    I’ve done both ways, regular recipe with increasing the super fat and full coconut oil with 20% super fat. Which ever way you choose to go watch that soap if your using a loaf mold. Mine took 2-4 hours to cut.

    When to start selling

    Not only should local laws be followed and insurance being a must have, there is also the trust factor. From the first time you sell your product you are building trust with that customer. So selling something subpar will be a huge dis service to you in the long run. And with today’s social...

    Funerals_Big big Business

    I am so sorry for your loss. They are crazy expensive now. Here we also have to have a metal liner to make sure the dead don’t contaminate the soil, and they cost more then the casket. Just remember it’s her grief that’s speaking right now and since it sounds like you were the closest to them...

    Post your Gripe

    Ouch, I was really hoping she was younger. Hopefully she can sign up for school activities, smaller groups working together is usually all the ice breaker they need.

    Post your Gripe

    That’s so sad. What grade is she in. My oldest had the same problem after we moved, it seems the older the kids the harder it is to break into the groups (most of these kids have been friends since kindergarten). But it will get better for her, just frustrating in the meantime.

    Post your Gripe

    Yes he was fine. Flat tire. His vehicle was warmer than mine by the time I got to him. He just didn’t want to play with getting the spare tire out without the sun up. Yes the sun makes a huge difference in the temperatures

    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    No Donee I never thought you were dumb. If anyone is the dumb on it was me, since I didn’t know what ghee was. Anyways, since you previously posted that you actually made ghee my questions were directed at you on how it’s made. You were gracious enough to type out a detailed explanation.

    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    Thank you for your detailed explanation. I know what tallow and lard are. I was confused what what ghee was, and how it was was made. Once again thanks.

    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    i make ghee all the time - simmer butter to remove the left over milk solids and you have ghee. Do you make it with pasteurized milk? As far as I know in Canada all dairy has to be pasteurized. I would assume that includes goats.

    Pumpkin soap

    Can I ask how cold your house is? I’ve never had a soap smoke, but have seen them get hot enough to produce steam.

    "soaping at room temperature"

    For me it lye water being baby bottle warm, and your oils clear. Both are warm but not hot.

    Post your Gripe

    I don't like to gripe, but placed an order with a company that I ordered once before and fell in love with one of there fragrance oils. First time I ordered it was between Christmas and New Years so you can expect slow shipping. This time it took a month. To make matters worse it wasn't until it...

    Fun With Polysorbate 80

    You rock Zany:winner:. It worked on t-shirts that have been pre treated and washed 100's of times. Finally gave up on them till I saw your post. Figured the worst that would happen was I'd finally throw them out. Actually I treated one half of the t shirt and washed and dried, it's back in now...

    Need Basic Soap Recipe

    I've also seen YouTube videos and read bloggers stating that. But by being on this forum you'll learn that you don't get to choose what oil or oils become your supper fat. Just take a big breath and have fun with it. Read the safety pages if you need a recap. That's the most important. Keep you...
