I ordered the 2nd one, the polypropylene. So glad I posted this, I learned a lot!

Just cut into soap batch #210, "Stones by the Sea", the last batch using pyrex for my lye mix! Just ordered a heavy duty plastic from Amazon :)

WOW!! I had no idea. I taught myself how to make soap from a book years ago and the supplies it suggested for lye water container was pyrex. I purchased all of the recommended supplies and have been using ever since! I am learning a lot this week after years of soap making! any recommendation...

I am embarrassed to admit this but maybe it will save someone from something similar happening to them. Last week I was reminded a very valuable lesson to SLOOOOOW DOWN! I make batches of 5 loaves at a time and have what I thought was a pretty good rhythm in my set up and pours. Everything ready...

Good to know, sad to know! I thought I had found my clear wrapping answer that was a responsible choice. Too good to be true! I'll be looking for a better option.

Thank you Nona's and Quanta! Now making with just beeswax, simpler, smells great and no more hissing. Appreciate the feedback! Not quite sure why I added anything else except for some recipes I followed when I started making candles. Good to know on the vanilla "essential oil" too!

My most recent beeswax candles have been crackling and hissing when lit. I use beeswax (various suppliers) and add some coconut oil and vanilla essential oil. they are in 4 ounce canning jars with hemp wicks. I think the essential oil I used in the latest batches is a new one for me, what is...

I just moved all of my (newly replaced) soap making supplies to my new yurt on the hill overlooking my burned home. we lost everything I have ever owned last August in the CZU fires. an off the grid home my husband built where we raised my 3 kids and lived for over 30 years. we had to move into...

My 2" cylinder imbed molds have been splitting lately. The soap cylinders 2 sides split open in parts and do not unmold in perfect rounds and tend to crack the soap as it opens the mold in areas. I even try to rubberband 3 -4 spots to hold it together before I pour and keep it banded for a few...
