We buy muslin fabric at Joann's and make pouches for our soaps. We add twine to close to the pouch. Kind of the same design they sell at health food stores for teas. We like it because they are totally re-usable and our customer's appreciate that.

Hi there! Here is some of our tips and advice. Because we rebatch most of our soaps molds are not that big of a deal for us. I use a cat litter pan lined with the pan liners for my large batches. They hold anywhere from 10-20 lbs of soap for the large pans. I buy them at a local family...

Hi there! Our Etsy shop address is www.pudleduk.etsy.com

Thank you! It's great to be here! Becky

Hello! My name is Becky. Together with my mom, Trish we run a small B&B business from our farms in Maine. We have been in business for about 1.5 years but we have been making CP GM soap for a few now. We sell on our website, Etsy and at local farmer's markets. We started a few years...

Thank you for your response. We have tested the Ph and it is reading as safe. We have also been testing it on ourselves and other family members and it feels wonderful! :P

If you like the look of whole oats in your soap, like I do; do not chop them. :)

Very cool! I never knew there was a recourse like this out there for us soapers! Thanks for asking and thanks for posting the link! Becky

I usually mix my oatmeal in at trace and stir. Maybe layer it on the bottom of your mold before pouring your soap? I have never tried it before but this might work. Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in. :) I also do not cook my oats before adding them. I like to use...

Hi Paul! Thanks for the warm welcome! It's so cool to "see" a man soaper. LOL I keep trying to get my husband to show interests in my world. :P ~Becky

Hello! I am new here but I wanted to Thank you all for the abundance of useful information I have already gained from your posts. Good luck with your show! We have lots coming up too with the season. We have been making roughly 30 pounds of soap the past couple weekends. We will...

Thank you so much for the reply! Becky

Okay so not many responses but does anyone have experience with PH meter testers? Where can one be bought? Does anyone test their soap by tasting it like our grammies use too? :roll:

Our best is Balsam Fir (Pine Scented Soap). Also Peppermint does well especially if you can make nice red swirls in the soap. I like to buy oils from www.bulkoils.com Fast shipping with good prices. Only down is they use plastic bottles for the oils. I usually transfer them to glass when...

I buy a lot of my supplies at www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com I am very happy with them and they have a decent price on Palm oil. Also if you do not need much they have flat rate shipping of $6.95 up to $25.00 order. Good luck! Becky

Probably to be safe that would be best. :)

Thank you for your comment. I tried mine again today and it does not burn at all. And in fact the rebatched bars are harder than the bars I did not rebatch. I would be so excited if I could just rebatch my bars and have them ready right away! :P

I love molds that say handmade or goat milk but they are only available (that I have found) in small batches. When I make CP soap I like to have at least 40 bars. I am with another poster though it would need to be affordable.

Hi there! I made Unscented Goat Milk CP Soap two days ago. I rebatched some of it today with my additives. I heard that if you rebatch soap even if freshly made you can use it right away. Does anyone know if this is true? It is only 2 days old. Thanks! Becky
