I think I understand now, Thank you both for the insight. I was confusing myself. :)

I would greatly appreciate someone's advice on this....I've been reading about LS and the article with the recipe talks about a negative superfat and I dont quite understand. I ran it through calculators but I'm still not clear on this because it dosent indicate the dulution water amount or the...

Can someone help me out? I made my first batch of liquid soap today. I used the WSP recipe. The article says it uses a negative superfat because KOH is only 90%. THe KOH I used is from AAA Chemical Co. Base Oils: Coconut Oil - 10 oz. Olive Oil - 10 oz. Rice Bran Oil - 8 oz. Avocado...

I have been rethinking my testers. I think I may cut the testers into thin wafers for people to test with. That way I can get rid of sponges..and just have little organza bags with the slices to give away. And keep my smell samples untouched. That way no water gets inside at all. Thanks for the...

Check it out. I put together a little case to take with me to work and other places where I won't be carting around lots of soaps. I have a regular job and so far my co-workers are good customers. .I wanted them to be able to smell the samples without making them gooey or dirty cause some...

I would have to say that trying to figure out the labels and creating/ designing them, logos, trying to figure out best way to punch them....has taken up too much time. Way too much! I guess that is a consequence of making soap in too many different sizes. I bought white glossy 2" circle...

Thanks....its disappointing but I'm gonna have to break down and order some. Maybe I'll cut squares out of the labels I already have until they are used up. Thanx

I give up!!! I can't for the life of me use a punch on Avery full sheet labels. Ive tried 4 different punches. I've tried wax paper and foil on the punch....no use. Is it the kind of labels? Is there another brand easier to punch? I'm about ready to throw my punch in the street and run over it a...

I got my punch. I got Avery full sheet labels. But I am having real trouble punching out circle labels. It jams almost every time! I even exchanged my punch for a friskars one. Is there a trick to this? Does anyone else have trouble punching 2" circles? I may have to get the circle labels...

I want to make soap! I haven't made any in a month! And I'm having soap withdraw! It's cause I went On a soap making binge a few months ago and I had a bunch that were ready and people who wanted to buy from me. But until I settled on a company name I couldn't do much. So I figured out a name...

Great thanks!

I used cheesecloth. It worked out great. I took it and unfolded it to make it as thin and sheer as possible. And I used hot glue. For three sides I hot glued it to the bottom. One whole piece fit one whole side perfectly. I covered 3 sides this way and I also covered the top and bottom. For the...

Anyone have a source for a good deal on white paper merchandise bags with handles? I see lots of cheap deals on plastic bags but I would prefer paper but paper seems to cost more. I'm only looking for maybe 100 or so. I know where to find them online... I'm looking for extra cheap good deals...

I've never had any problem with my pets eating soap. Do you know of people who've had their pets eat bars of soap? ...actually I bet rambunctious puppies might get into mischief and might chew on them.... But my pets are all 8 years or over. And well behaved. They only go into one room of the...

I got a pan rack on wheels and plastic trays to use to cure my soaps on. Since I have tile floor, it will be ideal. Anyway... I don't soap around my pets but since I have 5 of them....pet hair goes everywhere anyway. I was thinking of a way to protect the rack. I know wooden racks have...
