KatieinRI Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It has been awhile since I have made any soap or bath products. I think it has been about a year and a half. I have moved two times and have been lugging my stuff around. Today it stuck me. I want to make soap! I pull everything out the closet, take inventory of what I had. I have alot of stuff, but not enough it make certain things. Plenty of coconut oil, so I figured I would make some salt bars. I just need to pick up some lye and sea salt. I go the store and loe and behold, they no longer carry lye. When the did that happen? where am I to get it now? And what the heck am I going to make in the mean time? Sheesh! I am off to do some research and see what I can make with what I got. I am hoping that my little rut is over. I enjoy making soap and bath products.

cbv1 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 When I first started making soap I tried to find Sodium Hydroxide in the grocery store, no luck, then I tried Ace Hardware, no luck. So, I get mine on line at The Soap Dish http://www.thesoapdish.com/ . Have fun getting back into the swing of soapmaking! It is my passion, I even dream about making soap, then I wake up exhausted!

CareBear Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Yup Roebic - yellow 2# can in the plumbing section by the other drain cleaners. It's almost the only lye to be found in stores these days.And welcome back (though I don't think I knew you then!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
