    Homemade laundry bar soap...

    Has anyone made their own laundry bar soap? What recipe do you use? I was thinking of making a batch with 100% coconut oil and 0% superfat for my laundry soap. Do you think that would work? Thanks! :)

    Hi! I have a glass baking dish I want to use as a mold and I'm wondering what's the best thing to line it with? I know a lot of people use freezer paper. What about cooking spray, could I use that? Thanks! :) (Sorry for the newbie question).

    Does vinegar neutralize lye??

    I'm confused! In the Everything Soapmaking book, it says that vinegar neutralizes lye and it's a good idea to pour vinegar on your equipment before washing it. But then I've heard that it's a complete myth and vinegar is no better than plain water. Has anyone tried using vinegar?

    Why did you become a Soap Maker/Artisan?

    I haven't started yet either (also waiting for supplies). :) I like the idea of using natural products for me and my family, that's the main reason. I don't know how creative/artsy I'll get with it since I'm not a very crafty person, but I'm still looking forward to it!! :)
