    Pomace vs. Grade A vs. Virgin

    I use Pomace with no problems. I have no problems with it tracing fast. I can swirl to my heart's content. I can get it locally at better prices than other OOs.

    acrylic soap stamps

    I had one made last fall that is about 2.5" to 2.75". Love it! It came with a wood 'handle' to glue into a hole of the back of the acrylic stamp. I instead cut a piece of Maple lumber (I am a woodworker also), & glued that to the stamp. I like being able to use a hammer to lightly tap the...

    Using Cherry Wine

    I'm looking for some advice on using wine in soap making. I want to try making CP soap using Cherry Wine my brother-in-law made. I don't know what benefits there would be using it, but it would be fun to give some to my BIL, with labeling that his wine is in it. I am letting it sit out...

    Where do you cure your soaps?

    I store mine on a bakery rack also. I got it on Craigslist. I use cut down plastic coated closet shelving for shelves so I get good air circulation. On the very top rack I put a small fan that lays down on the rack. I put a time on the fan so it only comes on every 2 or three hours, when I...

    Scent Works??

    I've gotten quite protective of my Peak Lilac soaps! I actually want to horde them, instead of selling one. When someone wants to buy one, I get all "Are they Lilac-worthy?" ;)

    Pomace vs the super cheap VOOs

    I've been using Pomace for over a year & have been able to do swirls, layers, or anything I've done with EVOO.

    Looking into Insurance

    Most of the other people that use RLI say their cost is around $250 a year. I wonder what the difference is that you only pay $140.

    Looking into Insurance

    Someone is interested in selling my soap at her spa. Right now I mainly sell to family & friends, although there's really a lot more 'gifting' than 'selling' of soap, I wouldn't want to sell to a spa or elsewhere without insurance. Can anyone direct me where to look for very reasonable...

    soap rack

    I have one also. I used coated wire shelving for shelves. On the very top shelf, I put a small fan, pointed down to circulate air on the drying soap. I put the fan on a timer, so it only comes on every few hours. It was nice for the summer months. I've cut back on when it comes on now that...

    Titanium dioxide cause for fast trace?

    I know when I premix my TD, it thickens up in the small container, so I would think it would thicken up soap also.

    To scent or not to scent Pine Tar Soap?

    Thank you all for your input. I will go the non-scented route, & let the pine tar speak for itself ;)

    Palm Oil, Homogenized from SC

    I was wondering a couple of things. I'd like to get the Homogenized Palm Oil-50# from SC. I hate melting down & stirring my palm. I was wondering if anyone else has used this type. Also, I'm in Central Indiana, & it has been a bit warm for the fall. It has gotten into the 80s, & looks to...
