Found these at the dollar store, I am always looking for bags.:think:

Thanks for the feedback all. I like to do things the wrong way so many times. As a child I was told not to do things because it was bad. I would say, "Why is it bad?" "Because I said so." Not an answer, so I spend many a days with a red butt. Things don't change much. I got my answers and...

I was running out of sprayer bottles when I was cleaning, it seems I go through more sprayer bottles then anyone I know. I take my soap scraps and put them in water, and then I pour into the bottles. Well today I didn't have regular bottles, but I found (I can't even believe this happen to me) a...

Welcome neighbor, I live in Lodi. Where are you getting your supplies from? StarWest is in Sac, there are times I don't want to pay for shipping so I drive up and pick-up and this company doesn't charge tax when I do a pick-up. This is the wholesale site...

just was wondering since my wine soaps are doing good.

I was wondering if alcohol could be a natural preservative? I haven't made wine soap in some time, but I had noticed that the wine soap I had made nearly 3 years ago look as if I made them 6 weeks ago (and have have been wrapped in an airtight wrap, no discoloration). Would add a bit of wine (...

There are so many loop holes in ingredient listing that it makes no sense as to why there is even one. The percentages can be manipulated simply by amount added and if the amount added is the same or close to the most added can be listed as one of the first amounts. Blending of EO/fragrance I...

yes it did. I used an indigo blue. The soap feels good. It forms great and the form is white. I just won't be doing color again. I was trying to get a video going, haven't figured out how to do that. :-| I see that color is not what I wanted. I love learning, no better way then to put up on this...

My computer really mess up and I hope that I can't get the pictures of my LS/foarm soap up. They are not in order, but the last one is the paste and then I think the first is the finally.

grapefruit, litsea and orange are top notes.When I blend I use my top note blended into a middle and a base note. I was wondering, when blending, does to much blend take away from the art. i mean its like cooking; if to many spices are added, then the spices start to cancel out. Would that be...

Do you have pictures of your yellow soap? I would like to see them.

I would think sea salt is sea water dried; I'm sure it takes more to process it, I heard something like 5 years...any salt is from the ocean. Romans used to use sea water to help them relax, and now sea water in being used in pools for the minerals. The waste from the living creatures in the...

can LS be used as a face wash?

I was having that problem too, then I increased my water. I used this thread to help me understand percent of water to percent of lye solution. http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=38387 if you planning on doing more color then maybe more water would work better.

is there a way to tell if a LS has yukkes? Do most of you just use the ph strips? Do you have a list somewhere of favorite economical supply sources? I use this. Its easy. What you are doing for is a light pink. I use a couple of drops...

Susie, I will be trying IL GLS batter too. I just wanted to be able to compare two different methods. My computer is not working right so I have not been able to get back to the forum and right now I pushing it. I will try to upload a video or at least some of my pictures of the LS. This is...

Tried to upload a video of my foam cant do it

I have been putting off LS for months, since it is my first time, I felt awkward. But I finally did it and couldnt be happier. I didnt used the Failor method and I didnt use ILass GLS eifher. I coked just like HP soap. I noticed that it took longer to turn into soap. Once I got to the soap paste...

I have the soap paste made, it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. Does glycerin heat up? I am wondering because I am going to switch gears and will do the GLS after this one.

Wow, this is going to be quite an experiment. I just wrote my recipe.
