    CP, HP, RTCP?

    Exactly. You should be careful of course. I look at it like this. If you ever do any sort of candy making or deep frying that is just as dangerous as lye. I lady where I work had a horrible injury this year making some sort of candy for Christmas. A pot of 300+ degree boiling sugar or oil is...

    CP, HP, RTCP?

    What I do for RTCP is: Make lye solution, melt oils, wait till both are around room temp (usually around a couple hours) then get my soap on. It seams easy but it works for me. I was shocked the first time after months of standing over 2 pots contantly checking temps to find out that I could...

    Red Oxide Powder Pigment

    Hey guys. I just picked up some of this for a strawberry soap I am planning. Any idea about a PPO use? I have never used it before. I will most likely make a 46 ounce of oil batch.

    Shipping Prices are murder!

    Does WSP doe that Tab? I emailed them about an order I was going to place and they never answered me. They were going to charge me 12.00 for a 1 lb box (all FO's) I asked for a discount and never got a reply. I still shop with them though because their prices are great and they are super fast. I...

    Cant find old recipe...

    That is a great recipe. It was the first recipe I made and it turned out very well. Although be advised I think that exact recipe makes about 7-lbs of soap.There is also a "Paul's Wal-Mart Soap" recipe floating around that is great for beginners. I personaly would advise against using honey in...
