Post by: Mrs Green Hearts on April 21, 2010, 08:08:23 PM
Hi there,
Loretta told me about this site and i have lurked a little, so now its time to delve it and be seen!
:buttrf:

I will confess i havent actually made any soap - yet, but i do hope to dabble and make some for personal use, as soon as i get up the courage to buy some caustic soda  :D :D

Looking forward to getting to know you all
ren

Hi and welcome

caustic soda isn't so bad - just take the recommended precautions. Eye protection, gloves, pets and kids a long way away. Now chainsaws, THEY are bad  :mwaha: guess who was watching people chop down trees today.

come on in, the water's fine

 ;D

Hi Rens, Welcome  :buttrf:

Caustic soda's not so bad. I made my first ever batch a couple of weeks ago with a fellow Fresholite as my teacher, and I can;t wait to try it for myself. You'll be fine  :)

Hello and welcome!  :hi:

I back up Honey's statement: we love pics. Any pics, your garden, your cat, your mother in law, neighbour and so on, it doesn't have to be soap.

I don't do soap BTW and they are treating me ok.  :mwaha:

Hi Ren,

I had similar doubts as you do re the castic soda, but made my first batch of soap last week, both CP and HP!!!!!
Quite pleased with myself...I now know how addictive it can become  :mwaha:

They did not turn out as I expected them but hey it was only my first time...and practice makes perfect!!!!
