We're moving and our household goods will be in storage for about 5 months. What is the best way to pack my CP soap (most is cured) for that long? It will definitely be exposed to extreme heat and probably a couple days below freezing. (If it matters, it will be stored in the back of a semi...

Sorry phone won't rotate the pic. Susie, I lost my patience with Warm shortly after I posted because I needed that Crock-Pot out of my kitchen for a dinner party. Turned it on high, left the kitchen, and came back to soap all over my counter LOL. Fortunately that had it just about...

Thanks everyone. Tap water in my tests was the cloudy...I blame college brain for that dumb moment. I'm still diluting it, I may have added a bit too much water with the last add, maybe I can cook some out? It was so stuck to the Crock-Pot I'm just diluting the whole batch in it on Warm. I...

Oh and I am reading all the posts about the GLS and Susie's LS now, I really wanted a castile (ie olive oil) LS without a lot of extra ingredients, but I can change my hopes if I can have success LOL

So...I want to make this, and I don't have any liquid castile base, so I thought no biggie, I'll make it! Found this recipe, and everything was going great until the testing phase. Cloudy. Cook more. Still cloudy. Cook more. Still cloudy. Repeat 1000000 times (not really, total cook time...

Goodness Carolyn, I am so very sorry. Please don't stress about the DB....Take care of your family and take care of YOURSELF. We can wait. Hugs to you!!!

If you're looking for cheap, I really like a wire cheese cutter I got from Amazon. I've recently purchase a Bud loaf cutter and a log splitter and single soap cutter from PlowBoyz, but I haven't tried any of those yet, as I haven't had time to soap in almost 2 months :cry: For years, all I...

Also, praying for your dad. I was there with my stepdad, the Alzheimer's and the falling, so I completely understand! Family first!!!

I've managed a whole one batch of soap in the past 7 weeks, so no rush here either! This is the last week of this school session and I plan to soap my butt off next week, and then classes start again after that LOL. I may have time to use it by summer!

I ordered 2/8/17, they shipped 2/18/17, and I received it on 2/21/17. I haven't even opened the box yet, been too busy with school to think about soap :cry: ETA: Since you reminded me it was sitting here, I did open it now. Beveler/planer works great, and all the samples are great. Will...

My store hasn't had any since Christmas, and I can't find it on the Walmart website to do the ship to store thing. (That's how I got my first lard) And, I'm ready to start buying it in a little more bulk, so SC is quite a bit cheaper, too. I will order the normal AO, thank you, folks! I...

I need to order some avocado oil quickly, and I'm not sure which to order. Planning to order from Soaper's Choice, I think, and not sure whether to get refined or the refined cosmetic grade. I purchased avocado at Walmart before, brand is Tropical Plantation. Unfortunately, they don't seem...

That's how I do it.

Chicago's toll system irritated the crap out of me. I know I owe it money. Hopefully I will never be there again
