FW: [soap_makers] Definately ON topic. Lye safety!!

[Guest guest]

Christine,

 

You know you have my permission, silly - you don't even have to ask - this is

something VERY important that every soapmaker should be aware of......you can

NEVER be " too safe. " There is no such thing as too experienced to take safety

precautions.

 

Poor baby - I've gotten a tiny amount of lye on my arms/fingers, and I cannot

imagine the pain.....

I'll honestly tell you that I didn't even ask permission to forward this

(the list mom from the list that this was originally posted on is on

this list, so she'll know I posted it) but I am doing so out of public

interest and safety - I am even leaving the original group's info and

copyright notice intact!

 

When my older son was 2, the first day he figured out how to open the

door to my back porch work room he got into a batch of my raw soap and I

thank the heavens that he only got tiny 1st degree burns on his cheeks -

but it rightfully so scared the poop out of me and I learned a lot from

that experience!! BE CAREFUL!!PLAY IT SAFE! ALWAYS THINK THE

UNIMAGINABLE CAN HAPPEN, especially with kids - whether you're using

boiling water or lye - think safety first! We all get somewhat careless

at times .... I can't stress enough to folks - DON'T SLACK OFF ON

SAFETY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
