    Anchor or Pyrex?

    cool. I'll check it out. 60 here! Using Cymbiotica liposomal magnesium to help w/long and short term memory. Takes some getting use to tho. Memories come flooding back from my whole life sometimes. Short term is great for work.

    Anchor or Pyrex?

    I did not know about the date. I thought it was much longer ago like the '40's. I need to re-research this. I may have overlooked some good Pyrex items at estate sales. I remember that there was a design change after they stopped with the boro glass. Is that correct? there it is! haha...

    Citric acid lye solution problem.

    When do you add the water with citric acid back in? 1) add to oil before lye solution? or 2) add to lye solution and then add to oils?

    Less drying test recipe #2

    Trying to make a less drying bar by reducing the Coconut oil. Recipe #1 reduced it by 5% and #2 is down another 5%. #1 felt a little less drying but not enough to keep making it. Increased the lard by 50g fyi. All in Grams. Remove one zero to get percentages. 1000g total oils. 600 Lard...
