No, I am not angry, I am impatient. I was hoping to order some wax today. I just wanted a little help. Even an "I don't know" would have been nice. There were almost 50 views. The easier the question, the sooner the answer. This was an easy question. I have followed many of you, and purchased...

I'm not asking about how you make your own candles or propriety information, burn times or fragrance info, I'm simply asking what is the easiest soy for a newcomer. Is that beyond sharing?

Hi Guys! I thought I would be making soap, but I broke my silly foot on vacation. No moving lye with broken foot. Anyway, I thought I might make a few soy candles. I have a few jars, used once, about 5x4. You guys are WAY over my head. I only want to pour new candles in the old jars. Which...

I've been watching many videos preparing for my first batch, and I've watched several add lye to frozen goats milk. I understand they do not want to overheat the milk. If it works for milk, does it work for water/ice? Are there less fumes? I'm not suggesting I would try it, I was just...

Please excuse the question, but I'm new, and I love swirls. Is it ok to use a wire hanger in newly made soap? The plastic hangers are so big, I wouldn't think they would make fine swirls. I was thinking maybe a wire tie, one of the long, thin, flexible ones? Anyway, the real question for me...

I don't mind the added imput...I asked about caster and mentioned shipping. The thread was open for comment. I have the same reaction to ebay and free shipping. It might not be so bad if ebay wasn't such hypocrites about the shipping. They are charging 9% more and then saying it's FREE...

I should not have used "free shipping". It was only "no additional shipping". We own a mail order company-not soap. Amazon and Ebay love to push free shipping, but in truth they should be saying "Shipping already included in the price of each item". The buyer never wins. We sell a lot of...

Thanks for all the replys! I'm not always able to read the forum. I ordered the castor, and waited on the palm. My schedule looks like about 2+ weeks until a day off, but I'm going to do it on my first day off. My hubby will make anything I ask for, or will buy anything he doesn't want to make...

I have been buying stuff and looking at recipes. I have the safety gear, the scales, the lye, olive oil, coconut oil, and lard. As soon as I have a few hours available, I'm going to make some (hopefully) soap. Do I need to buy palm or caster? They seem to be very popular. I am going to buy some...

And... I love sweet peas, alyssum, and stock (yes, there is a flower named stock).

I have placed several orders on handcrafted sites and paid with paypal, and I have been forced to ask for refunds because the soapmaker did not ship the order or even answer emails. Anyway, forgive me for being blunt. I want to try good soap. I'm looking for cold process soap. I do not like...

I was looking a scales and adapters. I'm thinking about KD-7000 or KD-8000. I've been running recipes (from books and boards, not my own) thru calculators, just so I can get a feel for each calc and how they work. The 8000 has a bakers feature. Has anyone tried using the bakers % on a soap...

I've been lurking forever, never made real soap, but I've been thinking and planning, and I think I'm going to need lots of advice and pats on the back, so I thought I would post an introduction. I've been looking at all of your soaps, and I am blown away!!! You guys do such beautiful stuff, all...
