Title: New To Soap Making Post by: TheCatsDad on January 11, 2017, 05:50:13 AM Hi
I'm currently building up ingredients and kit to start making soap. It's all new to me but the whole process fascinates me. Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi! ;D Title: Re: New To Soap Making Post by: Helen on January 11, 2017, 07:02:47 AM Hello and a very warm welcome to the forum :) :buttrf:

I started making soap 17 years ago and it fascinates me as much today as it did then, it tends to be a bit of an obsession but a nice one. Good luck and don't worry about any disasters, they happen now and then but are a great learning curve. You will be thrilled at your first bar of soap and amazed that it really lathers and feels sooooooo much better than any shop bought soap.

For lye calculating there's a free online resource which I and some others always used: http://soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalcwp.asp (http://soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalcwp.asp) Title: Re: New To Soap Making Post by: polly on January 11, 2017, 02:03:40 PM Hello :buttrf:
