Isn't glycerol used to make soap??? the only reason I ask is there is a post on my local craigslist where a man is looking to give away glycerol that is a bi product of his biodiesel production. Is it usable????
HI...it is so much easier just to purchase your lye from a source....at this time I can still find 16 ounce containers at my local grocery store
(never use Draino!!)....however....if it does get to the point that you/we need to be that much more self-sufficient....her is a great description of how to make you own lye....I may just try it myself!
I have never made my own soap. I will read that link you posted thanks. The guy said he had like 75 gallons. I can't imagine needing that much. Hummm???
Making your own soap is really enjoyable! You can use the basic ingredients in your own kitchen...I started making soap when my oldest daughter did a science project on the chemistry of soap making..Have not used store bought soap since!
According to the post at e-how, you can use a couple of gallons glycerol at a time.
Take a big jump! Make some soap! e-mail me privately for some other links for great soap making tips if you'ld like..
