    PhytoAromatics

    http://www.phytoaromatics.com/ PhytoAromatics in Canada is closing and running a 40% off sale. Never used them but saw this posted elsewhere and thought I'd share. And the front page says they'd take the 40% off when you get your confirmation so you'd have to figure the percentage yourself. :)

    Dropping the lye discount

    The cranberry butter question had me wondering if anyone would possibly know this. For cp soaping, if you don't know the sap value of a certain oil/butter, could you drop the lye discount in your calculator to 0-1%, and then just added 4-5% over your total recipe of that oil butter in?

    Mr Do right

    Alright, I ordered and recieved 2 2lb molds and cutter w/blade from ebay, Mr Do Right. The molds (so far) are easy to take apart and put back together, soap does need to sit a little longer to release easier, my recipe anyway, and they are really easy to wash up. Shipping was fast and his email...
