Re the glass jug, well I have been using pyrex for the lye and water, no
disasters yet, well yeah I guess it could break but it suits me for now so I
am goingn to stick with it until I start makign larger quantities then I
will use stainless steel as I have a stainless steel jug the right size, I
do have a smaller one I might be able to use but I am not too worried at
this point.

Thanks for the warning. I must admit, I'd never really thought about the
glass breaking, but you are absolutely right, it could! Hmmmm, I'll have
to think hard about that. What do you recommend? Stainless Steel jug
perhaps?
I never take advice as being preached to, and I thank you for taking the
time. I welcome the opinions of other soapers. Without the wealth of
knowledge so generously shared by soapers the world over, both on the
net and in books, I never would have had the confidence to even try. I
would have missed out on hours of enjoyment, and the wonderful sense of
achievement I felt the first time I made a good solid bar. I don't mind
telling you how proud I felt, and how much pleasure I get from seeing
the faces of friends when presented with a bar of hand crafted soap.
That's the thing about soapers, I've found them to be generous, warm and
friendly for the most part, always quick to answer a question or share
their experience. Have others found the same thing?
