    White powder on top

    Okay, I have a question for the chemists here. Sometimes there is a white residue and sometimes there is no residue on top of the soaps. I know it is something that reacts to the air, else it would be on all sides, however it is only on the top that is exposed to air for the pour. The same...

    peak 50% sale

    If you are talking Peak Candle in Denver, beware that their FO's are for M&P not CP. I have had accelerated trace in almost all of their products.

    Disastar Strikes!!!

    I was not soaping, she was soaping. It is something that you live with, and go on with life. The point is she will never let it rule her life. As an engineer I can tell you that even fire alarm systems are designed with this in mind. All of the strobes flash simultaneously because too many...

    Disastar Strikes!!!

    She is OK. Will take 2 to 3 days for her to recover. Even after 25 years of being married to her I still have a hard time with it. Going to look at rubber backed replaceable carper squares. Then I just toss them and not slippery. I know a guy, his wife died in the hot tub. Had a seizure...

    Disastar Strikes!!!

    Sometimes she is in denial. Pissed that shes has it. However sometimes she gets petimal ones that mess up her thinking and then she forgets that she is going to have one. Luckily with meds (Thank God for Ins $3000.00 is only $250.00 a month) she is down to only one seizure a year or so

    Simple or fancy...that is the question

    I have found that our simple one or two color and fragrance free soaps sell the best. I am wondering if this is because fragrance competes with cologne and perfume and people want something simple to put on their body. No question however that Swirled Attractive Beautiful soaps sell the best...

    Long time soapers

    My wife does the fancy stuff and I do mostly solid colors. Simple low cost 6 ingredients. But we do sell our soaps.

    Disastar Strikes!!!

    So you know, my wife has epilepsy. Yesterday while making soap she had a grand mal seizure. Somehow she knocked over the oil. 10 Gallons of premixed oil. ouch!!!! Almost $500.00 worth. I am so glad she did knock over the NaOH. But luckily that is in a sealed stainless container with three...

    Overly sensitive seller or not?

    I would agree with most people here. I doubt she made the soaps herself. I do not sell at shows. Too many people for my taste. And too much work. I would rather not be seen, and sell wholesale. I amazed that people would still buy from her if she was unwilling to answer simple questions...

    You need to enable your cookies in your browser. If you are using Mozilla frefox it is a fairly straight forward procedure. Just go to options/privacy then make sure the enable cookies is checked. If you are using IE, there are a few more steps, but really the same thing.
