    Soapmakers in trade - few questions... pls check this!

    Today I found out it will not be possible to buy lye unless you have a firm and pass some kind of a test about handling dangerous chemicals. I live in Croatia, Europe. I already have a trade, but now I'll have to open a firm. This is just driving me mad. What I was wondering is - how things...

    Will this harden up?

    you used way to much water (tea). i have similar recipe, and at lye concentration of 33% my soaps did harden, but after three or four months. i went through soap calc, and your lye concentration is even weaker than that. with this much oo you should use stronger lye concentrations. also, i...

    Packaging For PVC Round Bars

    :roll: yeah, those are the same we have here, too. (yes, i even tried to wrap the soap with them, but no success.) and i kept looking for other coffee filters, but could not find anything different. too bad, because this idea sounds so great! :D

    Chamomile Neroli Blend

    well, i never worked with chamomile eo, but i noticed seizing from cinnamon eo, so i think it's possible that seizure comes from eo. just my 2 cents :)

    hard water recipe

    i think that salt weakens the lather. i'd go with more coconut oil but also i would adjust the superfat to be a bit higher. why would you drop out castor? i have hard water, but i'm not sure did i notice anything that would suggest that you should avoid castor oil.

    Instantly curing soap

    yes, i make soaps from my own oil. but just because we have more than we can eat, and it's very hard to sell pure olive oil in a region where everyone grows their own olives. :D about expired organic oil... i'm not sure would the "organic" help anything to you, if the oil is expired. when oil...

    facebook ads

    i think this belongs here, even though it's about adwords, not fb ads :) so, i also received a 100$ coupon from google to try adwords (which is great, as i meant to try it anyway, but this way i had a chance to do it for free). in my experience, it's not worth it (of course, i imagined...

    Instantly curing soap

    i don't understand - how is one even able to water down oil?? ok, if it was mixed with some other vegetable oil, that still wouldn't explain the water, as the sap values are so close for most of the oils. dobaym, actually most of the people in my area, and my paretns, too :) grow olives...
