Comment on Don’t Throw Out that Rancid Oil! Make Soap! by Seannon

You can get 100% lye at Lowes, it’s just not drano brand.

Roebic Laboratories, Inc. 2 Lb. Heavy Duty Crystal Drain Opener
Item #: 146450 | Model #:HD-CRY-6 CRYSTAL DRA

Both the Roebic Labs site and the label say 100% lye, and I found out about it on a soapmaker board.

I guess I’ll just put the draino down my drains.

Thank you for the information! I never would have guessed that you could use Lavender EO for burns. Next time I get burned in the kitchen, I know what to reach for.

Thanks for the info. I’m just really getting my feet wet with promoting my business with technology. I’ve been in the soap biz going on 4 yrs. Just started to really take it serious this past year. I began to see technology as useful. I have twitter, Facebook and a blog so far. I keep falling off of the grid with the website, but I’ll keep trying.
Also, I would love to attend the transparent soap making class, but am unable to make the trip. I’m in Dallas, Tx.
Is there an e-handout I could purchase or something? I have transparent soapmaking on my to-do list for the summer along with cream soap. I find Catherine Failor’s book overwhelming. 20lbs of soap for the first batch? Really? That much math makes my head hurt. I can calculate that can’t wrap my head around it. I’m definitely doing Mail Chimp asap! Glad there’s an app for that.!
