    Calling me Hun

    Hi! I think it’s a beautiful thing for someone to speak Positive Words over you! With the society we live in today, where people are assaulted and scorned with nasty words with meant to hurt and harm. It’s also not what you are called but what you answer to. Blessings!

    8 Cup/ 2 Liter Borocilicate Glass

    I don’t use a Microwave for anything. It’s my preference. I did for M&P but found a water bath works best because it keeps it from solidifying while using. I was taught that it prevents overheating and insulates, as in Professional Oil Wax Melters. They use a Water Jacket. Since the question...

    8 Cup/ 2 Liter Borocilicate Glass

    Washing soap materials question?

    Hi! I have had a slightly oily film after washing. If it is light, I spray with Alcohol and it’s squeaky clean. If it is a thicker film, I will rewatch in very hot, soapy water, then air dry. Hope this helps! Blessings!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Hi! I, too, must respectfully Disagree when using E. O. because it’s not just F. O.

You must know the Usage Rate and then Calculate the Amount according to your Product, for...
