    Soap gone wrong

    We took the bad batch and put it in to a crock pot and heated it up and melted it down and as it was using a stick blender it started to look like soap instead of partly melted cheese. At this point we poured it in to a mold. I am not sure if will pretty but I think it will work. Mark

    Soap gone wrong

    Last weekend we made a batch of soap out of lard. We cut the water in half and used orange juice to make up the other part. The soap has been sitting in the mold since Sunday and has yet to set. It looks like it is layered. The bottom looks hard. The top looks like partly gelled grease. What can...

    My first real

    I ended up with a lot of air in the soap. I think it was over mixed it. We may have to melt it down again. Mark

    My first real

    Well I dumped it out of the mold in one piece as I was moving it and about to cut the soap it busted in two. I put it back in the mold and will let it wait another day or so. The good news is that when I washed the crumbs off my hands that they made suds. I still have the other half of the soap...

    My first real

I put it the molds and hoped for the best about 7 hours ago. I have peeked in and saw that it is setting. We are expecting a storm here in FL in the...

    Credit Cards - yay or nay? MORE INPUT PPLLEEAASSEEE :D

    If you have a droid or an iphone you can sign up for Square in about 10 min. Then you will have to wait a week for the free reader to come in the mail or you can pay about 10 bucks and get a reader at a office supply store. Mark

    Tampa or Orlando Area Supply Stores?

    I went to E S Premium Products in Orlando this afternoon. They had lie and it was about 1/3 of the price I saw it in Ohio. Since that place is only 20 min from the house I didn't buy everything that I will need in one stop. I am sure I will dump a lot more money soon in that store. Mark

    Coffe soap question

    I put coffee grounds in the batch of soap I made the other day. It was my very first batch of soap and I am not sure how it turned out. I have to leave it up in Ohio before I could pull it out of the mold and cut it. Mark

    Tampa or Orlando Area Supply Stores?

    Where in Orlando can I find lye? Last weekend while up in Ohio I made my first batch of soap. I saw lie up that way but didn't not bother buying any. I figure the TSA would have a fit if I took it on a plane. Mark
