I was wondering if anyone else had an issue with ordering Lye from the lye Guy website? I ordered a couple months ago no issues, but now there is some issue with the payment method. Anyone else who orders from this site have this issue?

Okay. Thank you for sharing this. I'm so frustrated with it. I guess I will keep trying things until I find a solution 😊

Here is the picture . I couldn't post it in my above reply for some reason so I did it separately.

I use these plastic shelves. I will try and attach a picture. I have a cloth draped over the top to keep dust from falling on top of them. I'm having issues with my soaps going rancid and just trying to rule everything out and take extra precautions. I was just wondering if it's better to cover...

Thank you so much for the information, I really appreciate it ❣️

Okay. So only the tops of your soaps are covered, not the sides right( meaning you just have like a canopy over the top)?

do you cover the shelf they are on or do you cover the soaps completely?

Would you just cover the top of the shelf or the whole thing ?

Oh okay. I might try that. I will have to check the Joanne Fabrics over here. Is the netting made out of cloth? Does it let them also breathe well?

Do you have a fan going on them?

I was wondering, do you cover your soaps when curing them? If so, what exactly do you use? I am trying to protect mine from dust but want them to get air at the same time. Just wondering what you all do?

I get my ROE from lotion crafters. Their website states that their ROE is 7% Carnosic acid. my batch of soaps are usually 2 pounds. I use 0.4 pounds of palm kernel oil and 1.6 pounds of palm oil.

Thank you for the info. I'm guessing you add your ROE to your bottle oils? I have been adding a drop or two to my soap batch because I can't add it up my oils as they are solid. I know your supposed to weigh the ROE you add to soap, but it's hard because it's such a tiny amount. I have a...

Well that is just it, I am having this issue now and it's wintertime. The room they stay in is dark. The room does get a little warm only because of the dehumidifier I have running. I also have a fan going that blows on the soaps as well, I do clean the molds very well. However, I thought...

Hi there. Thank you for all the suggestions. I have my soaps in a room that is dark. I have a dehumidifier( the dehumidifier does make the room warmer). I have the soaps sitting on plastic shelving that I line with parchment paper. I am using a ceramic crock pot. The molds I use I actually have...

Okay . So would just recommend using only the sodium gluconate without the ROE and EDTA? Would the sodium gluconate alone prevent the rancidity?

Thank you. Where do I purchase EDTA and Sodium Gluconate? Is that the same as sodium citrate?

I cannot find a scale to weigh that little of an amount that I need. I even have a jewelers scale and a tiny hand held one and still it will not weigh out because the ROE is just such a tiny amount. Not sure how to do this.. Any suggestions?

Thank you. It is all metal pretty much except the handle. I still might look into some other brand like you mentioned. I mean it is the only thing I have not changed. It may or may not fix my situation. I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong to cause my soaps to go rancid.

It is Hamilton Beach. What is a good brand that is a good grade stainless steel?
