I recently found a place that is very cheap for coconut oil and lye, and I was wondering, they have 76,92 and 110 degree coconut oil, which one do I get? Is one better then the other or they close to the same for soap making? They are local and I am really exicted to have found them, it took a while though! Now I just have to wait for more money, 3 weeks and I only have enough stuff to make another 3 or 4 batches of soap!

I think the standard is the 76 degree.

I think that tells you what the melting point is on the oil. I use 76 and always have - yes, I think it's the standard for soaping.

I use the 92 since I live in hot Palm Springs. You could use any of them.

I LOVE Palm Springs!
I need to get back for a visit... it's been too long.

It's single digits here in Baltimore so maybe now is a good time

I use 92. 76 got to soft on me in the hot summer months.

I use 76 degree but 92 degree coconut oil is fine too. =)

SoapBuddy, I'm bummed that I'll miss you at the conference though understand the budgeting thing. Kudos to you for being deliberate in what you spend your money on.
