I agree with Newsoap. I love NG. They have great customer service, the products are excellent. Plus if you have any doubts on how a FO is going to act they have tested all their FO's and have a list to show the results on their web site. And fast shipping too.

First off if this is in the wrong place Mods please move. When I first joined this forum some one posted a story on how lye and fats make soap by using drawings of wolves(lye) sheep(fats) and bunnies(soap) I thought it was cute and printed it out. Going thru some papers I found it and put it...

Does anyone else have this problem? Time I unmold i put in warm soapy water and when it dries there are lines where the soap batter was. When I use it next and go to unmold the soap where the lines are the soap kind of sticks to it. Any suggestions on how to remove the stains? TIA

When you do embeds do you subtract it's weight from your total oils for the size of the mold? EX: My total weight for mold is 38oz, but if my embed weighs 10oz's do I subtract it's weight from the oils to make 28oz's so that the total weight is 38oz's? I just can't think this morning...lol TIA

I did leave a very small gap to be able to get the mold out..I have had no problems with bowing yet.

Most of the guys around here want "plain lye soap" I just make it with Lard...Found out they use it for catfish bait :lolno:

I just measured the outside of the mold 12L 4w and i did 4 1/8 height I had them made with lids.

Yep. I had to custom order them. Took about a week to get 4. Mick is a very good guy and does excellent work...Oh and fast shipping too.

I ordered them from : www.designcraftindustries.com

I got my silicone molds from Essential Depot.

I just put in a custom order with him. I ordered 4 molds to hold my silicone molds so that they will not bow.

Hi all, just wanted to know what everyone stores their bulk (oils, lard, shortening) in..getting bigger orders and thought I would buy in bulk now, but I see that lard and shortening come in 50 lb cubes. How do you store cubes? Thanks for any info.

I use PagePlus and love it. I also live in SC. Got mine thru Radio Shack. I live in the woods and have no problems. HTH
