stacien Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hey everyone I actually make candles and post on the other boards. My husband and I went to a farmers market last year and tried some hand made soap. We never trusted a store bought bar again. So we decided to try and make our own. We used some recipes off of Millers website. Being that it was in the beginning of winter and my husband tried to make it in a cold garage didn't help any. Then we used PVC pipe. Its not easy at all that way. The soap we did get out of the tubes expanded the minute they hit the air, due to the interior temperatures hitting air. It wasn't worth using the tubes. But the amount that we did get out was a good soap. Not good looking but a great recipe. I saw a couple of Grumpy Girls pics and it inspired me. I do want to know for those of you that do use the glycerin base do you make yours or order it. I know its a special process with alcohol and it involves a lot more. Do you all just do CP or do you do MP too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Welcome to the soap side It's pretty difficult to make your own clear soap - it can be done, but it's hard to get it really clear if that's what you're after. A fun challenge though. Most people will buy glycerin base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
