Very simple! If it turned out well, I donated it to a local homeless shelter and a veteran’s home. I also gave some to family to test. i gave it to friends. There was never a question about what to do with it! If it was a fail, I tossed it (no I know about re-batching but early on I simply...

This is terrific - wish I had it when I began making soap. I do have two suggestions. (1) a way to remember how to mix lye and water is “the snow falls on the lake” (always add the lye to the water - a side little ditty to remind you). (2) I laminate my recipes and then use a grease pencil to...

My sister’s husband was in the Air Force (career-man) and he was an attaché to the US Embassy there for four years. They shared your experience-even being military. When they left the compound they would hire someone to watch their car and then have to hire another person to watch the person...

I b ought my soap curing rack at our local university’s surplus store. I think I paid $5 for it. It works great!

Right you are!!

That is the one I have as well. I love it! I especially like the shield that covers the numbers to protect that part of the scale from lye/other damage. We jokingly refer to our jewelry scale as the “drug scale”. I do this mainly because our granddaughter, who is an addict, stole my jewelry...

I have a scale that works that way as well. I use the “system” I was taught in elementary school. If the recipe calls for .92, .93, .94, I go down to .90. If it calls for .96, 97, 98, 99, I go up to 8.0. What we were taught was that if a measure is between .91 & .94, you “round down” to .90. If...

Yes. If you take the six molds and the cutter, I will take $20 off. So that would be $200 even plus shipping.
