Have you tried Golden Brands? LP400 in the middle of the page.

AH/RE is outstanding!

Giant Eagle (Dover/Phila) in the Organic Foods section over by the produce. As for Buehler's, I have never checked. I will be milking very soon, I have a few nannies ready to kid. The one produces lots of extra milk... mmmm I taste fudge already.

Yes, this is true. Wiki article on silk

Here's the link to buy the guide Biodiesel Soap

I do it! Before I started making candles I used simmering potpourri or diluted fabric softener.

Maybe Fillmore? Square Mason ETA: Looks to be a custom jar. This is from The Barn Candle Company site:

Here's the one for WSP Old Fashion mold

Call Bolek's and ask what size it is, he has told me the gel wick sizes before ..those are HTP's by the way. The CW's are paper but I don't know the sizes. Although I do know that the wick you are using is a torch! My guess is that it is a 60p or 62P.

The majority are quite skilled. Every culture has it's own identity, kind of like the Italian's are known for pasta & tomato sauce. So does that mean all Italians can make a great pot spaghetti? Not necessarily.

I bet you're talking about Heartland/Walnut Creek Candle below the Antique Mall in Berlin! LOL! If so, you speak the truth. But those candles are not your true so called amish candles. There are only a handfull of true amish candlemakers in this area. If you visited one, you would know it because most of them have a home-based business, in the middle of nowhere with no electricity. The bulk of them specialize in carved candles. If you visited the mainstream area (Berlin, Walnut Creek, Sugarcreek), 80% of those gift shops are filled with retail "made in china" crap. True amish craftsmanship is usually found off the beaten path. The term "Amish" as been very commercialized in this area. I refuse to use the word amish to promote my products. No I am not amish, incase you are wondering.. it's a nickname given to me long ago.

Yes, I agree. The lye water should be hot.

This is just a thought & I have NOT tried it, but.... lye water will dissolve the fibers, so maybe after the silk dissovles you could add citric acid to neutralize it. I am assuming that you want liquid silk for lotions and such, not CP soap.

I've had good luck with the Ritzy Bath Gel from NG & WSP's Crystal Clear Shower Gel. Both remained thick and scented wonderfully with the recommended (and sometimes less) amount of FO, most bases will thin if you add too much. I also have WSP's Suspension Gel & the Bath Concentrate that I need to test. I will keep you posted Fire. Also, I bought my disposable pipettes from Boleks. Check the next time you go.

They do! Disposable pastry bags
