I use these. They hold 78 of my bars, and, best of all, they stack and are free.

I use the boxes that strawberries are shipped in. They perfectly fit bars of soap, are stackable, and heavy cardboard, and are free.

Thank you. I will follow this suggestion.

I am going to try that - will make a small batch however since I have “wasted” too many batches already! I disperse my micas in oil before adding to the batch. I am going to try adding the FO before the lye water and see what happens. I think you are right!

You must have a local person who can re-do your bath at a reasonable price. They are out there. Maybe ask friends whom they would recommend and then talk with them. They do make vinyl inserts for the walls which work great as long as you make sure you have no underlying “issues” which must be...

They are a national franchise.

I am familiar with the brown that vanilla causes and have simply embraced it but know I am doing something “wrong” here. I have made a number of batches previously without this happening. I buy my fragrance oil from New Directions Aromatics so I know it is a good product. I wonder if I need to...

I have made several batches of lavender vanilla soap without problems but the last three batches I have made look like this! What are these brown spots (they are not DOS). I have no idea what has gone awry - any help/suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated.

Grateful that you have people with whom you can talk about this and that your boss is understanding as well. Prayers that you will come through this stronger but never lose your ability to trust - that is a hard one to manage. Hang in there; as it says in the Bible, “And it came to pass…” It...

Fortunately, I had installed rubber mat flooring which made clean-up on the floor much easier than it might have been. I used gloves, sponge(s), clay to pick up the really “invisible” pieces, vacuum, broom. Turned off the lights and shown a flashlight on areas to double check. It was quite a...

As I learned! I have always been diligent about not mixing my lye water in Pyrex but I thought I was safe - ah - live and learn! At least no one got hurt.

I was unhurt (thankfully). What a mess - I tried to look at it as both a learning experience and an opportunity to do a deep clean.

Only when I think something went awry. I don’t “lick the bar,” I simply touch my tongue to the bar - if there’s a problem, it zaps.

My last two batches of Chamomile achieved partial gel. My customer hates it and so I am stuck with two orders that I will have to donate (I regularly donate by end cuts but this is ridiculous). I will clear out a shelf in my freezer for soap. I simply cannot afford to have this happen. glad...

I was making a couple of batches of soap and, as usual, I planned to melt only my cocoa butter as I use the heat transfer method but don’t want to stir forever. I have always melted my cocoa butter in my Pyrex cups. And so, I measured out by 8 oz. of cocoa butter and popped it into my microwave...

I use juice mixing pitchers that I buy at the Dollar Store. #5 plastic is the key. These are not disposable. I mix my lye in them, wash them out, repeat. The ones I currently use I have had for over three years. The minute I read about the issues with Pyrex, etc., I stopped using them. True or...

Thank you so much!

Thank you. I will!

Our daughter-in-law has asked for a lavender/peach and a lavender/hibiscus soap. So, I understand that I will need those two fragrances but shoujld I also be using a third fragrance to “anchor” the overall scent. What do you all think/recommend?
