Teach Soap

Hey everyone again. I wanted to ask another question. My apologies.

What are the other things I need to get started? The tools other than the preservatives, FO/EO, other things. What am I going to mix this stuff with? Things like that. Spoons? Bowl? Type of Bowl, type of spoon etc... I wanted to purchase tonight, but I did not know what I needed. Can someone help out?

Thanks

If you are making only lotions, fizzies etc. you can go with glass, plastic or stainless steel. I have some decently sized pyrex measuring cups (4 cup) and i also use stainless steel pretty regularly. You have a lot of wiggle room in what type of mixing implements to use as long as you are not making cold process soap as the lye reacts with some materials. Whatever you choose to purchase be sure to dedicate it to your craft and not use it for food preparation afterwards.

A small scale is good for weighing ingredients and a whisk can be handy for mixing.

So far I have got listed:

Stainless steel mixing bowl
Glass mixing bowl set (Brand Recommended to me for the measuring cup)
Food Scale (I have one already, but I want this one specifically for my butters and lotions etc...)
Measuring Cup (Brand Recommended to me)

Do I need a specific size Whisk? Do I need to get a set? Is the 9inch Whisk good?

Do I need a Hand Blender?
I am going to get a mixing spoon or just a regular spoon?
Is $40-50 the best price I am going to get for a stick blender?

I am ordering from amazon.com anywhere else I can have these shipped to me for a cheaper price?
I only want to make Butters, Lotions and Body Sprays. No Soaps, Fizzies etc...

Thanks

Don't get an electric blender with the two head attachments. Get a stick blender. Don't forget disposable gloves.

I bought a stick blender and a discount store for $10, you might want to check it pout if you have one near you like big lots..
