Welcome from Illinois. :wave:

Thanks, I'm such a Noob.

so when it says 4% superfat discount, does that mean that I can reduce my water % by 4?

Welcome from Illinois! :wave:

your local sign shop (decent sized) should be able to print and cut labels on outdoor durable vinyl with outdoor inks that would stand up. this will be more expensive than what you will find online, but you can save yourself money by 1.) having your label file "print ready" (in .EPS format) and...

you can get them fairly cheap all around the web, the problem is your quantity. I run a print shop in which we make decals and I can tell you right away that if you were to order say, 50 or 100, you would be getting a much better deal.

Thanks for all of the great advice! I can notice already that the soap is becoming harder and more white. Just for the record, I put my recipe in to the soap calc, and my ratios were actually CO 3% CocO 32% OO 65% with my water at 38% total weight and a 4% super fat discount.

Thanks! I hate making logos for myself, I'm never happy.

I was actually considering using 23k gold leaf in a super secret soap project.

Thank again for the link to the article, just a couple of questions on oils after reading. 1.) While following the general guidelines as to ratios of makeup for the oils, can I substitute any oils in my recipe as long as the total oil weight is the same? IE my first batch was 72% olive / 25%...

Thanks for the tip. I read "Everything Soap Making Book" by Alicia Grosso before I took the dive, I know I need to read it again though. Any other must reads I should know about?

Hello, I just made my first batch this weekend (HP) and figured I should get in to a community of experts to help me when I melt the skin off of my hands. I skipped over CP because I'm impatient, and didnt want to wait 2 months before using my soap :). I think my first batch went pretty good, I...
