Soapmaker Man

Thank you, so am I! It sure was great news that he got all the cancer in the colon he removed and I will not be requiring chemo. Thank God! Paul....

For those who have asked: Only a few hours left. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7262787 Paul....

Well thank you guys so very much for those wonderful, kind, sincere words! That is so kind of you! I got the results this week. The Dr told me the report was the tumor was a stage 2! But the good news was that after he removed 22 lymph nodes, none of them had any cancer cells! I will not be requiring chemo-therapy! I did so great in recovering from his new procedure to remove a tumor in a colon, a medical journal is going to include my case for article! He was a great DR! I had Surgery and was in recovery at noon Thursday, and left the hospital at noon on Saturday! Only 48 hours later! I have my staples removed tomorrow! Thanks everyone again! I am ready to get busy in the TOG Mold Shop! Bring it on! Paul....So very happy!

Thanks everyone! The new one is re-listed again, on sale until midnight tonight! Thanks for everyone's vote of confidence! Missed you guys during my surgery, but all went better than expected! They removed 11 inches of my colon and 22 lymph nodes! None of the lymph nodes had any cancer cells! I do not need chemo! Thanks for the thoughts, prayers, lit candles, it all worked! Blessings to all of you guys! Firegirl, I would be very happy if you hosted a Co-Op! :D Paul....

Thank you Sandra! It is a pleasure doing business with customers like you! Glad you are enjoying everything. Paul....

I SF at 7% on this recipe! Paul....

If you guys go to my web site, you can see better pictures of it now. The ones I had up there and here are the first style. The new version is the one Carebear has, and is talking about! Here is the link; http://www.togsoapmolds.etsy.com Thanks....Paul

Hi Lindsay! Got your e-mail and PM. I'll work on that special TOG Wire Log Cutter for you. I gotta head back to the TOG Shop right now and get busy. I was in for Dinner and to check mail and PM's. Thanks!... Thanks to you, too, CareBear! Paul....

That is a nice sized master batch, Julia. If my figures are close, I figure that is about 285 bars worth of base oils. I love master-batching as well as pre-mixing my lye solution. Paul.....:smiley2: Back in good 'Ole Missouri!

Guys, can't keep up with the sales! I've been working on orders and running back into the house to check on orders and reviews! Whew, but I relisted a few more and they are ready to go. After tonight at midnight, the price goes back up to the regular $79.00. Thanks so much guys! I truely think they are as every bit as good as the "big guy" but a heck of a lot less! Paul....

That is the way to do it! When you get ready, we'll be happy to work on one for you, too. Thanks! Have a great Labor Day Weekend everyone! Paul....

Is your log of soap taller that 2-1/2 inches? Most bars of soap are @3-1/2" by 2" to 2-1/2" tall and this cutter handles that just fine. Since there are no width requirements you can make your log any width and any length. All you do is simply place the log into the cutting area which has a end stop and a side stop, make a cut, get 7 bars of soap, remove your cut bars, slide down the rest of your log to the end stop, then cut again. Most logs can be cut in 2 cycles, up to 16" log. You can cut a 16" log in under 1 minute. It is truely built like a tank as far as strength is concerned.... Paul....:smiley2:

Thank you for your order! I'll have it to you next week! Thanks again! Paul....:smiley2:

I'm here guys! Been really busy in the TOG Shop! Thanks for the rave Carol! I'm sooo glad you love this one! I can't see why others charge so very much for their products! Amazing really! I want to produce a quality product, make a reasonable profit, and help as many of my soapmaking friends as I can. We are living in tough time financially, so I want to keep my prices as reasonable as possible, yet produce a high quality product that I will NOT RUSH through to complete! Thanks again friends! Look at my site as I have added new items! Paul.... togsoapmolds.etsy.com

I'll be sending it out first thing Tuesday, since Monday is Labor Day. I think you are going to live this TOG Mold. It is a newer design I worked out. Thanks ladies. CareBears recipe has a spot in my heart as well. Hope she got her new TOG 6 wire Cutter today. Paul....

:smiley2: Yea, I love soapcalc.com! It has taught me a lot over the past 2 years, and now am starting to learn what "synergies" the oils produce when combined with the correct other oils to produce a nice bar of soap! Your recipe sounds really nice to me, and it is close to my recipe! Congradulations! Paul....:smiley2:

Thank you, Sandra! I'll get it sent off to you pronto! I think you will love the simple design and the way it removes just enough soap to leave a noce bevel to your bar of soap. Paul....

Was it 76* or 92*? If it was hotter than 76 degrees, it melted, that's normal. No problems! There are 2 different melting points for 2 types of coconut oil. The second one is a tad harder and thus, melts at a higher temperature. Bring it inside, to a cooler room, and it will re-solidify. Paul....

Check out this one. It is very reasonable and lightweight and does a great job at removing just a wee bit of the edge leaving a clean looking bar. http://togsoapmolds.etsy.com Click on the "Wood Beveler" to view. Paul....:smiley2:

I'll do a batch in the morning using 100% CO, with a 20% lye discount, using both GM and CM as the liquids and see what happens in a week when I test it. I use the Lou-Ann CO from Wal-Mart all the time, it is 76*. Paul....:smiley2:

Here is a great price! http://www.lemelange.com/mica.htm Just try them, cheap and great shipper too! ETA: Just looked again; how does $6.25 per POUND grab ya! Paul....:smiley2:

What vibrant coloured soaps! Nice job! Beautiful swirls too! Your amazing! Paul....:smiley2:

I'm the guy carebear is talking about. I master-batch my recipe oils/fats and premix my lye solution. I mix equal amounts of aloe vera juice with lye. After pouring the EXACT same weight of lye into the aloe vera juice, I then stir in my silk. I let this solution cool a bit before carefully using a stainless steel funnel and pouring into my Gain Detergent bottle with a spout and cap. I stir my premixed lye solution in it. The built in spout is really nice. I have used 6 week old solution with perfect results. I keep the jug stored in a closet up high, out of the light, and in an air conditioned soaping room. A 50% solution is so simple to use. I also add a bit of salt sometimes and always some sugar. I add these 2 ingredients to the cold fresh goat milk. I stick blend them in the cup containing the very cold GM. I usually add about 1 T. PPO of sugar, and when I do add salt, about 1/2T. PPO. To help my salt dissolve better in the very cold GM, I pregrind in my coffee grinder my salt into a powder. It works well for me, and makes a great hard bar very quick. I love RTCP and RT lye solution soapmaking. as it works for me. Paul....:highfive: ETA: Kymber, if you need help figuring your solution amount if you want to try my method, send me your recipe or the amount of lye required and how much liquid you need for your recipe, and I'll PM you the exact amount needed and how easy it really is. This method is so handy to figure your lye plus it's easier when doing a water discount. I love it since I add GM as the rest of my needed liquid for m HTH's!y recipes. You could add milks, aloe vera juice, anything to make up for the rest of your needed liquids. I use farm fresh GM, but add a little powdered GM to make up the difference of the aloe vera juice, so I can say it's made with GM.

Actually CareBear, I buy in bulk from a online wholesale source. But, Wal-Mart does carry the same foamie sheet I buy in bulk. I go through a lot of neon green 2mm Darice Foam in my TOG Molds! Your new TOG 6 Bar Wire Log Cutter shoud be to you Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest with more liners inside the box for your TOG 10" Dual Log/Slab Mold. My saying is "It's built like a "tank.":laugh2: Paul....
