Dragon's Blood Nag Champa blended. Red Santal moves. Lilac in Bloom for the ladies in my family.

1.) Plug in the recipe using the "old" oils. 2.) Look the fatty acid profile over carefully. 3.) Do your best to duplicate the fatty acid profile with the oils of your choice. Just try and get as close as you can. Every recipe will be a bit different. You'll find your "happy place" soon!

I simply cannot fly any more. I get no explanation but I am nearly strip searched for attempting to get on a plane. Might be my mis-spent youth or the fact that I am an RSO and firearms instructor. I sent my daughter home one year with a loaf that had been cut into bars with parchment placed in...

I said that I DO need to cut sooner since the salt hardens the soap quicker. If memory serves me correctly I would make soap in the morning and cut in the evening. It may even been as early as the afternoon. The do bear watching - just not as much as salt bars which are an entirely different...

EVERYTHING looks like a mold for some project...

Congrats to all that tried. Whether they signed up or not. Remember - it's not winning, it's the challenge!

Welcome to the Forum! You'll find that there are a lot of good people here that will help you be better at soap making and English. They've been helping me for several years already.;)

Made two batches of soap yesterday. Nothing fancy just some Black Amber Musk and a Red Santal. I still have another couple batches of soap to make ( Nag Champa/Dragon's Blood at last twice). And then there's a build project for my son in law. But that is fodder for discussion on a different...

John, If you're really OUT of SOAP just start a swap thread or ask for a "few" bars to tide you over. Lots of us have soap just laying around curing for months...

I use slivers from most batches to "test". Most soap cures for at least 6 weeks here. Salt bars go 6 months. When I make castille it cures for a year. That said I need to get cracking on the Christmas soap.

I'll join your family for that!! I really need to get my Christmas soaps made. I've been running behind with the apple harvest this year.

Or use a pvc pipe the diameter of the cylinder you want. You would want to use a release agent of some kind so the silicone wouldn't stick to the pipe. Then use COLD the help release the silicone. Put the pipe in the freezer after the silicone has set so the pipe will shrink.

I thought maybe you'd tell us the fragrance... Dragon's Blood and Nag Champa? No, that would be tanning by the time you cut it...:D

Soap. Daily. I can't smell my own breathe but that doesn't mean I don't brush my teeth before someone tells me I need to. Same is true for the shower routine.

Yup. That right there is the problem. The genius has finally got the world figured out. We really are out to get you. You're not just a paranoid freak.

Here's a gift: Lard at 43 % SAP 0.141 Olive oil at 40% SAP 0.134 Coconut oil at 12% SAP 0.181 Castor oil at 5 % SAP 0.128 I made a batch of 793.8 grams ( 28 ounces). The mass of each ingredient is: Lard 341.3 grams oil x 0.141 is 48.1 grams of Sodium hydroxide at 0% lye...

Interesting thread. I need to go get more pop corn...

Yes. How IS your mom?

Notify your "Sister" and the police that you are going to visit your mom. See what king of push back you get from the LEOs. If they are with you and the ruling/ law then have as pleasant a visit as you can as often as you can. You can use this ruling to push the B***h over the edge. Her sanity...

Sniff seem on? If it's DOS it'll get bad enough to be sure soon. Yeah, I did that too. I think most of us have a couple of times.
