Results at 9 weeks: No change in appearance in either bar, both healthy. Something interesting happened that I hadn't noticed on previous tests. When I finished doing the lather test, I noticed some scum had formed in the sink. My immediate assumption was that it must be the tap water bar. I...

Results at 7 weeks: No change in appearance in either bar, both healthy. 20 seconds: Distilled Water (DW) lather was a little more than Tap Water (TW). However, they were pretty close, maybe not enough to matter at this point? 50 seconds: DW lather was thicker, denser, and I noted that...

Thank you, @dibbles & @The_Phoenix. I'll keep practicing, but not for this challenge o_O . I'm going to enter #3. Here are #1 and #2. For these two batches, I used a small wood box to make 2 bars. #1 FO accelerated. Doesn't look like it should but I like it anyway. #2 Better, but not...

For my first attempt, I used regular measuring cups with short spouts and I dared to try a new FO. Why oh why did I do that? Didn't misbehave too badly just moved too fast for this technique. Second and third attempt I used the long spouted pitchers. Seems my hands won't pour both at the same...

No, it is very well behaved.

They turned out very nice! That was a good idea cutting the mold. I never would have thought of that! Please post pics when you paint them. Can't wait to see them 😍

Congratulations @Mobjack Bay and @Jersey Girl! Thank you again @earlene! All the entries were so nice. It was a hard vote for sure.

The colors are tricky to catch on film, at least for me any way. In my original post I had a hard time getting a good photo as well. I'll try to take more pics today. I think you may be right about the bubble size. The DW bubbles are slightly larger and not as dense. Here are the same photos...

I used them for shower steamers. I prefer using the mooncake press though. I made a bigger mess with the Milky Way mold and I didn't do a very good job keeping the bottom nice and flat. I used a smaller cavity mold than you have pictured. Yours is cute!

2-week status: Appearance: No change in appearance. No difference between both samples. Lather: Tap water sample was faster to build a nice lather but I think the Distilled sample finished stronger. Photos are at 20 and 50 seconds.

I usually enter 0 into the fragrance field in Soapee's lye calculator because I print out multiple copies of my recipe and use them with different fragrances with different fragrance loads. @DianaMoon The PPO calculation is easier for me to understand... weight of oils (usually use grams since...

Good to know. I've had them in my cart for a while now. Maybe I'll pull the trigger some day soon. I could use a slender plastic spatula for my deodorant. I only make one tube every few months and every time I do I think I need to get one. I waste too much because I'm not scraping the...

The stainless blocks do work for garlic and onions. Look for Rub-a-Way. I tried to insert a link to Amazon but failed.

How do you like those baby spatulas?
