    Help me out with a name?

    I am in Ohio and live 5 minutes from Lake Erie, the water there is usually greenish/brown. Once in my life in the winter, it was the most beautiful blue I'd ever seen. Despite our beautiful beaches, the water usually is an ugly color LOL. ;) And unfortunately, the majority of the shores are...

    Mixing CP soap by shaking bottles

    it really works wonders on all of my greasy pans etc in the kitchen. I spray and let it soak for a bit, then wipe up with a paper towel if it's really greasy, then wash as usual. I save a lot of money by making my own refills. I just reuse the pump sprayer. :thumbs:

    Mixing CP soap by shaking bottles

    for the oily residue, I really love using Dawn Powerwash spray. It really does a great job on oil/grease. It can be made with rubbing alcohol, dawn dish soap, and water. (plenty of refill recipes online)

    National Shrink Wrap

    I am not a fan of how Polyolefin shrinks either. The seams are very bulky and ugly. I much prefer PVC shrink wrap. However, Polyolefin has ventilation which is good for CP soap. Since I do MP I am able to use PVC without any issues.

    How to get smell / odor out of a silicone mold

    I had that happen to one of my silicone molds that was stored with scented candles. I put the mold in the top rack of the dishwasher and that helped some. I now keep all my molds separate from anything else. Any fragranced products are kept in another room since the majority of the soaps I...

    what to do with expired lip balm

    I have yet to learn how to make CP soap. My biggest fear is the Lye triggering my asthma. I am extremely sensitive to chemicals, fragrances, and scents. They trigger my asthma and I end up having a very bad attack. Usually end up using my nebulizer, and occasionally have to go to the ER/

    what to do with expired lip balm

    We had a lot of left over lip balm from BA that we ordered for my parent's 50th anniversary party. They are 1 1/2-2 years old and now they smell like the sunflower oil has gone bad? What can we use them for other than personal use? Can we make candles out of them?

    Lowest Cost Bulk Melt and Pour

    I use a double handled cheese knife to cut my big blocks of MP down to size. We buy from WSP. BA doesn't have what we like to use. I do the same...try to wait for their MP soap sales. Prices have gone up since COVID. I am hoping the cost will go down but nothing else in the world has...

Since we deal with mostly MP soap ...I was wondering what humidity setting we should set the Dehumidifier at to prevent glycerin dew? We do wrap in...

    Bubbles/White spots ALL over soap surfaces

    Looks like Glycerin Dew - It is caused by humidity. It doesn't harm your soap, just makes it ugly. MP soap should be wrapped in saran or shrink wrap within a day or two of unmolding. Sometimes I can put off wrapping it the weather is dry. But when its humid glycerin dew gets on some MP bases...
