Darbla Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I started with the beginner's recipe here:http://www.millersoap.com/USAToday/SoapArtUSAToday.htmlI bought a pretty large stainless steel stock pot to combine and melt the oils in, a replacement coffee pot to mix the lye and water, a stick blender and stirring utensils to devote just to this, and a shoe box lined with a plastic garbage bag for a mold. All inexpensive. After I've made a batch of soap and have everything cleaned and dried, I pile it all back into the large stock pot to store away.Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndulgentCreations Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Good luck! It's very addictive and so much fun to create. Are you planning to do CP or HP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndulgentCreations Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I started with CP 3 years ago and never looked back. I had planned to try my hand at HP but liked the coloring effects I could get with CP. I now do CPOP for everything but my goat's milk soap.
