If you are looking for supplies there is Candle Wic in Doylestown and then there is a large wholesaler in Quakertown, Pa

That is why we are making soap from the glycerin from the biodiesel process. We are taking a waste stream (used cooking oil) and making two usable products. The first is biodiesel for fuel or heat. the second is soap. We have eliminated a waste stream. We also use the glycerine to heat the shop...

I used www.godaddy.com for our site and online shopping cart. I'm by no means a web designer. My wife and I were able to get our site up in two evenings working a little between dinner and kids bed time. It was very easy and if you get stuck the people in tech support talk you right though it...

We do a small farmers market on sat's from July to oct. It only has about 15 vendors and is close to our home (10 minutes). We do steady 250-550 8am to 12pm. This past sat we went to try a new market about an hour away. It has 700 vendors and 15,000 people we did 180, the people who did buy...

The glycerin does not have a french fry smell the fuel I burn in my truck does. The glycerin takes scent very well and I have not had any complaints. Everyone loves it after they use it. It also works well with shea and olive oil additives. Now I don't know anything about traditional soap...

Ok, got the scoop from and old time soap maker who makes bio soap now. The % of glycerin in bio soap is give/take 40% compared to the commercial 12% (if you get a really really good one, but most are no more than 10%). The main difference in the two is that the commercial "glycerine" soaps...

Now that is SAD! I have seen that photo before, his recipe is way off also. We get a lot of lather, we have not had a complaint yet. When I use it to wash my hair it lathers more than shampoo. The difference is that we are using natural vegetable glycerin and the store bought has a lower...

Yes, it all starts with used oil or WVO from pizza shops and bars. It is then cleaned filtered and reacted into biodiesel. The glycerin is drained and any trace methanol is removed and it is turned into soap. A lot of the bio brewers still say it can not be done. Don't tell my glycerin that...

Why would his glycerin not be fit for soap making? Is it because it still has methanol in it? You can get that out no problem! Or does he just think that it can not be made into soap like the rest of the bio community? That is what I was told, but we are proof that is wrong! As far as...

answers to a few questions The soap dishes sell great for $3.00 each. PM me for the contact for the dishes. I buy them for .95 cents each. The white trays that we dry our soap in are from the local pizza supply house. They are dough trays they stack real nice. They run about 6.-7.00 a tray...

Kelly I sent you a PM. As far a an apartment dweller goes, I would not recommend making bio in an apartment. You could find a local biodiesel person and they would part with some glycerin. Tell me what area you are from and I can get you to a board in that area. Jason
