What are the ratios you use with PS80? I have just done a couple test bottles with the PS20 and in 1 i used 1 part FO and 6 parts PS and the other i did 1 part FO and 8 parts PS. Both look the same right now. Not 100% clear but not really murky either.

Duh. I didnt even think of that. I kinda feel silly now seeing as I have to check this stuff for my soaps. Thanks very much. :)

Get a couple of those gel cooling mats for dogs. Put them in the freezer and then alternate them on the bed when its really hot. They only need about 10 mins in the freezer to give good cooling on those really hot yucky nights. We used to use them in our old house that got the full force of the...

Since Avon decided to shut down i have been very sparsely using my last bottle of body mist that I purchased right before they shut down. The other day DH suggested that I could make my own as I have all the "smelly stuff" as he calls my FO cabinet and I thought why the hell not? I have done a...

I'm thinking of making up some soy melt "kits" for my nieces & nephews for Christmas presents this year as they can be fun to make and only need a little bit of adult help. I was thinking of making up some dye chips for them to use as it will be less messy than the liquid dye I use when making...

So sorry for you loss. Losing pets can be hard. I've said goodbye to too many in the past and it still wont stop me from getting more. I've got a fish that I have had going on 11 years now I get funny looks when I mention how much it will hurt when he eventually dies. He's not just a fish to me...

Ima steal a line from an X-files episode, "I'd rather read the worst novel ever written than sit through the best movie ever made." There are just things that cant and dont transfer well to tv, films etc. Most books usually are better than the show/movie and by reading you can get the full...

oh yes I totally understand. It didn't matter how stinky she got she still got hugs and spoiled rotten. She was a good dog who left us too soon. But isnt that the way it goes with all good dogs.

Might have to give then another go. I vaguely remember my brain dribbling out of my ears about halfway through book 2

I used to have a staffyxlab that had the most god awful stink. I took her to several vets and got different answers from each of them. One told me she was alergic to something in the yard, another told me it was the food she ate and needed to go on some ridiculously expensive dog food to "cure"...

I have heard he is done but isnt releasing then yet. Dunno if its true or if its just some conspiracy someone came up with. Its like the old saying goes if I read it on the internet it must be true. hahahah

I've had a roomba for something like 10 years. Its great at picking up all the dog hair. How'd have thought Rotties shed so much **** fur? Thankfully dogs live outside when we are not home and have never had an instance of Wombie eating anything he shouldn't. He does get stuck every now and then...

Going to be making my first batch of soap for almost a year tonight. Have finaly run out of all the soaps I had on my shelf. Lets hope I haven't forgotten how to do it

Gremlins

I have had some tallow that had a "beefy" smell out of the packet and when melted but never had the smell carry over to the soap. Even unscented soap just smelt like soap. Usage rate was either 75 or80% I cant remember.
