  1. Thank you quietgirl,My brain started working after I enter that question.You know that could be dangerous.I have been making candles for two years,and using this same scales.I stay up until 3:30 am this morning playing cards,I quess my brain was dead this morning.

  2. I am having a brain fart this morning.I need 1.25 lbs of oil,and my scales is digital,so it weigh like 1.1 and so on till it get to 2 lbs.what I am asking is 1.25 is one and fourth lbs,right?On the scales would that be 1.4?:undecided

    Thanks,Anna

  3. You know what,My DH is a Painter.I can get all the five gal buckets I want.Sherie go to the paint store.I was planing on dividing it out into separate batches in the boxes,I may change my mind and do it like Eugenia.It stays warn in my work room.

  4. Well Sherie,you probably wouldn't use what I got.I went to the Dollar General store,and got some seven qt Sterilite hinged plastic boxs.I don't plan on making the soap in the boxes.I will use my stainless pot.I work in the school caferteria,I ordered some twelve qt food storage containers thru them.I don't live close to a lowe's or home depot.I live in a very small town,if you blink your eyes you will miss it.LOL

  5. If I made up my master batch tonight and didn't want to soap until tomorrow night,will the oils still be liquid?Or will the hard oils become solid?I normally do a 6 lb batch,I plan on multiplying it x six.Is that to much at one time for a master batch?Hope this makes sense.

    Thanks,Anna

  6. has a good scent throw as paraffin?I have read that soy doesn't have soot when you burn the candle.Is this true?I have soot on my walls,shower walls,door casings,and my candles don't smoke.When I get though testing a candle the jar is clean,I keep my wicks cut.I don't think it is my heating unit.I just can imagine what someone house looks like if they don't trim their wicks.

    Thanks,Anna

  7. Where do you live in Oklahoma? There is a place in Dallas that sells it, 37.50 for 50 lbs. Might be too far for you, depending on where you are at.

    Kerry that is cheap,I payed eighty bucks for 50 lbs at Starville's.Did I get ripped off?When I got home my brother-in- law was there when I unloaded the lye.He ask me what I was going to do with it.He said he get me all the lye I wanted,he works on a drilling rig.I don't know if he really can.50 lbs will last me for awhile.
