    Thanks crafty and carebear.

    I do not understand this. How much lye? How much water? link: http://www.the-sage.com/calcs/lyecalc2.php The chart did not turn out, but I used this recipe: 50% olive oil (no need to get extra virgin; light olive oil is great!) 25% coconut oil (Lou Ana brand at Super Wal-Mart is perfect) 25% lard* (posted in recipe forum) and calculated it for 2 pounds (32 oz) How much lye and water do I use?

    Thanks!

    I don't think hubby would be very happy about that.

    No, it is a little plastic kitchen scale. I tried to find it on Walmart.com, but it is not there. I did notice a digital scale for only $30.00. I wonder if I can squeeze that much more out of my budget for this week. We can live off of Ramen, right??

    Is there a way to use cup measurements for oils and lye to make HP soap? All I have is this dinky little plastic scale that I got from Walmart and I don't know if that would be accurate enough... or would it? I am anxious to try to make some soap!!

    Soapermom: I did not know the Chemestry store was in Sc till I saw someone here post about it. I just wish I could go in and take a sniff of their EO's/FO's before I buy. I am too far to go up there just for a pick up. I went to CCS yesterday and got a sampler deal. I have not used any yet, but I do plan on going back today for more. I am going to get into so much trouble with them being so close! To everyone else, thanks for the scent suggestions.

    Thanks Michi. I promise that I am not that dumb all the time, lol. Math is just a very, very weak point when it comes to my dyslexia. Only took me four times to pass college Algebra... I think that is because my professor gave me a few mercy points. heh So, if I order bottles from this site, how do I find the right size shrink bands? Edit because DOH, I used the wrong word.
  9. Robin29
    Do they have shrink bands for theese bottles? Oh and my really dumb question for the day. How do you figure cost per bottle? Do I enter price/ quanity in my calculator or is it quantity/ price. dyslexia and math do not mix... Edit because I really should know what is the right word to use for a disorder I have. Specifically, in this case: Dyscalculia

    Thanks, Luci. I had hope that I could go in and sniff test the fragrance oils before I buy any. That was my reason for wanting to go up there one day. It is a two hour, one way, trip so unless I would be able to sniff test I don't think it would be worth the trip out there. I'll just have to fly by the seat of my pants, heh.

    Oh, and I see that you are from SC. Are you anywhere near the chemesrty store? Do you know if they allow people to come in for pick ups or to browse?
  12. Robin29
    I will have to search it out...

    I am new to all this, so I thought I would try a base to start with. I do plan on branching out and making my own some day (shower gel,lotion, and body spray). MP= Melt and pour soap, right? I did not realize they sold M&P soap. I hope to make it over there sometime this week. They are less than 5 miles away and I just can't seem to make it over there. :undecided
  14. Robin29
    They are right down the road from me and I plan on going by there tomorrow or Thurs. Has anyone bought from them before? Are their FO's good? What about the shower gel base?
  15. Robin29
    I want to play!! How did you do it?
  16. Robin29
    Thanks!

    Ok, I think hoohoodilly is almost better than vajayjay.
  18. Robin29
    Do you know how long the sale is for?

    I call mine "Bombed bath bombs."

    Kristine: I don't do candles, I do B&B. I will likely add candles one day, though. I think I will check out the mall for a while before I get a booth. Make sure they get good business, and don;t have 50 other vendors selling bath bombs and such. This will also give me time to actually come up with a business name, lol. Gramma: Sounds like you do fairly well. Christmas season should be good for you.
  21. Robin29
    That is it!!! Thanks!

    I was looking through old threads the other day and found one where you all were talking about a site that gave free samples of various thngs. I would like to try to order, but can't find the thread now I used the search feature, and did not have much luck. It was a site that had things like Natrasorb and from the discussion the samples were quite large, one being 20 oz, IIRC. HELP!!

    It is ALL in the marketing. I have never tried Lush before, it is too crazy expensive.
  24. Robin29
    ooooh, those are neat! Thanks! Now I have the image of take out containers out of my head,lol.

    I just sae a flier for a new craftmall that will open soon. Has anyone tried to sell through these? You have a booth in the store and they sell it, you don't have to be there. I have seen them where they are like consignment and where you just rent a booth. Thoughts?
