    Master batch/ Re-batching?

    I don't go that far, at least of making it into actual soap, but I do have I call a master batch of oils I melt and mix up at one time and then store in a covered 5 Gallon pail. When I am ready to make soap I just mix it up real good and then weigh out what I need and then make whatever soap I...

    Need feedback on my websight.

    I did not use any colors in the naked soap and I was presently surprised as to how they came out. Thanks to everyone for your comments and ideas. I will be using some of your ideas on my sight in the next few days. Dale

    Sodium Hydroxide

    Where does everyone purchase this product? I have purchased it in the past from AAA Chemical and it came in nice 2# containers but now looks like they only carry it in large bucket and shipping is very expensive.

    How to increase customer through websites?

    Change Things Up often I just recently started my own business and have setup a web page using Weebly and I like their sight as it tracks how often I get hits and even what products people are viewing the most. I find at least so far I need to update the webpage as often as practical. Every...

    Cleaning Up Equipment After Making Soap

    I was wondering what other soap makers found that works the best for them when doing cleanup of their soap making pans and containers. I currently use Dawn dish soap in a tub of very warm water but find it still does not cut the grease and leaves my pans with a greasy film on them. Would love...

    Large Cracks In Soap

    Here is picture. The overheating makes sense as I have read about certain soaps that tend to do that and you actually supposed to put in a fridge or freezer overnight.

    Soap Seizing

    I make a number of different soaps and most work great and reach trace after 5 to 10 mins. But I have two soaps, Pink Champagne and Rose that have a tendency to go to trace way to quick. Could I change my recipe to add more water or less Lye that would help it out so it would not seize on me...

    Soap Container Boxes

    I am very new new to CP soap making but am really enjoying it so far. I was trying to figure out how I wanted to package my soaps I would be making so I talked to my wife who is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and is quite good at making her own designed boxes she uses for craft sales. So I...

    First Day on This Sight
