How to make your own lye
I want to apologize for missing some of your questions on show night. My flash player crashed and it looked like the chat room was working but I wasn’t seeing anything new come up. I thought there were no questions and ended the show not knowing that there actually were questions being asked. You can ask questions here in the comments or email me and I will get you the information you need. Again, I am very sorry for the mistake.
Scott- I would add the book, “Soap Naturally” – it was by far the best book I found when learning to make soap. Also, for suppliers “Glorybee Foods and Crafts”, “Majestic Mountain Sage” (I use their Lye Calculator) and “Essential Wholesale” are excellent.
Sorry I cannot listen live. My husband works for Amazon from home -2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Pacific time. Our country internet cannot handle streaming of any kind while he is working. We do enjoy listening to the show by recording though.
