Alright, after waiting for a year now..I pretty much have all the materials to start CP Soaping...well, just running into the fact that I am having a hard time trying to find lye.. Off to the classy's for this or if someone can tell me where it can be purchased on line...thank you very much. Right now, hubby is busy making me my wood mold that I will need for this...so here is the big question..I've been searching for the basic recipe..beginner's that is and was wondering if AJ could share that with me.. Once I get it..pretty please... and do go to the calculator, can I run it through you expert cp soaper's and let me know if it's a go or OH NO! Thanks in advance and will def continue to research Stephanie
