[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: [Ag-eq] making soap

Thu Oct 22 22:22:08 UTC 2015

Hi Terry,

Can you send me the website for Blind Sell and Trade to my personal email: annely53r at yahoo.com.  I just saw a post on a blind parents list where someone is asking for a site where blind persons sell and trade.  Many thanks and God bless.

 I know a lady on Blind
 Sell and Trade that makes soap.  I have used them for
 Christmas gifts.
 Someone in the Seniors
 devision used to make the Whozit soaps.  I used to give
 those as gifts.  Marie Cobb helped sell their goods,
 whether she made them, I do not know.

 making soap

 Hello,

 I  am forwarding this post
 from the Agriculture List. It talks about making soap. It
 sounds interesting. Has anyone tried to make soap?

 Hello:

 If you're really interested in making soap
 I suggest reading the following book from the NLS BARD
 program.

 Handcrafted soap
 DB56092
 Boone, Delores. Reading time: 5
 hours, 8 minutes.
 Read by Patricia
 McDermott.

 Hobbies and
 Crafts

 Describes the
 hot-process method of using an indirect heat source such as
 a slow cooker, an oven, or a double boiler to make luxurious
 soap at home.
 Includes instructions for
 twenty-eight recipes that can be personalized by adding
 oils, fragrances, and colors. 2002.

 The process is pretty detailed, so I'm
 really not comfortable telling you how it's done in an
 email.  There are also some really good sources on the
 internet and on youtube.  If you do a search you will find
 all kinds of information and recipes.  I found the book to
 be most helpful when I was getting started.  I read it
 several times before actually making soap.  I also made
 soap with a sighted friend the first couple of times.  We
 were both nervous about trying it on our own.

  I've been making it for
 several years now and am comfortable doing it.  It does
 require handling active lye, so you need to be very
 careful.  The book has a whole chapter on handling the lye
 safely.

 You will need
 several supplies before getting started, many of which are
 probably already in your kitchen.  However you will need a
 good set of scales, everything has to be weighed, measuring
 isn't accurate enough.  You will also need a stick
 blender and a large double boiler or crock pot.  I prefer
 using a crock pot.

 Do some
 research and reading and then if you have questions feel
 free to ask.

 Also I just
 want you to know that making soap does not save money, it
 cost much more per bar than what you purchase in a store. 
 I enjoy making it and I like knowing exactly what I'm
 putting on my body.  I also sell it and give it as
 gifts.

 There are a couple
 of methods for making soap, the hot process and cold
 process.
  I use hot process, but know people
 that prefer the cold method.  The book and your online
 research will explain the differences.  Making soap is a
 chemical reaction.  The correct amounts of fats, water and
 lye cause the molecules to realine and form soap.  It is
 very important to accurately measure everything and follow
 directions or you can end up with something that's not
 soap.  You do not want any active lye left in the mixture
 or it can be harmful to the skin.

 If you have any further questions please let me
 know.
