    Gunpowder FO

    I know this subject has been mentioned before but upon searching here and all over google, I'm still not quite finding what I'm looking for. Perhaps it just isn't a thing. If you are a bit of a country bumpkin, like me, you probably have gone out shooting. Either to hunt or just for play, but...

    Oh boy, I messed up.

    That there is an excellent point. I gave back his caustic soda and got my own. That was my first royal blunder and has been given the ol’ heave-ho! Now my curiosity has me all about shampoo bars and such. Oh this ADD!

    Welcome! I’m pretty new here too. You are absolutely right, there is such a warm and welcome feeling here. Everyone gives amazing constructive criticism without any attitude. This forum is really quite addictive because of the knowledge and beautiful personalities that seem to moderate it all...

    Oh boy, I messed up.

    Thank you so much! It took a couple days to bring up the courage to read your response. I couldn’t find a lye percentage on the drum anywhere. However, hubby called the sales rep and told him what I did. If the sales rep told him what the other ingredients were, they must not have been important...

    Oh boy, I messed up.

    Ok, I got impatient for my 100% pure lye to show up and used the lye from my hubbies machine shop. It worked fine before when I made just plain coconut oil soap. Turns out it's only about 70% pure lye. Uh yeah.... that particular batch of soap is still soapy, but soft with a capital SOFT! Like...

    I'm a noob.

    I also love quilting! I used to buy lotion bars to keep my hands moisturized when handling a lot of quilting cotton. I wonder if I can eventually make that too. Hmmm…

    I'm a noob.

    I do love lemongrass. However, I am drawn more to the more masculine scents and I know my hubby will actually use it if he likes it. So, where can I find scent blends like that? I have scoured the web and found some EO calculators with some recipes, but I don't know if we all are just too...

    I'm a noob.

    “Mainlining” Hahahahahaha!!!! You, my friend, are hilarious! Sounds like sound advice. Same thing with most consumables, few that come up with the raw materials or manufacturing but lots and lots of middle men and distributors. Hubby has a machine shop and I own a screen print shop, so I am...

    I'm a noob.

    Not willpower. It’s lack of knowledge. Hubby has a machine shop, so I already had access to caustic soda. The rest is already in my kitchen. Well, except the EO. That’s a little trickier. I could go to Walmart, but I hate them so I likely won’t go there. I have a friend that sells EO, but I want...

    I'm a noob.

    I am completely new to the whole soap making shindig. Not here to make a career out of anything. I'm just tired of watching my husband spend hundreds on Dr. Squatch. Don't get me wrong, I love their stuff, but I am a much bigger cheapskate than that. I'm more than happy to spend that money on...
