Welcome. That soap is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more. What part of Austria?

You should be excited. Those look great! Congratulations. You’ve just joined the cult. Mwah ha ha.

Freezer paper. Gah! I wish I had thought of using my feet! I think my road to hell is going to be lined with discarded soap supplies. I just want a soap mold that doesn’t bow out (trapezoidal soap bars) and releases the soap. Is that too much to ask? I swear I saw someone using rigid plastic...

I cut the soap I made a few days ago. The hidden feather is actually green because I wanted to make it look like a leaf. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I even like how the one in the front got those extra squiggles which look like flowers to me. The glycerin rivers look way more...

BRV?? Bionic robot vehicle? Bullet riddled venison? Billious rhino vixen? Brilliant red violins? What am I missing?

Made my first soap in my new tall/skinny mold. Tried to do the hidden feather swirl, so looking forward to cutting it.

I thought they were really weird too. I don't want to hijack @Dawni 's thread, but would love to know if anyone has an idea what they are. Is OO more prone to weird issues?

Welcome! This forum is filled with an amazing (overwhelming) amount of information and great soap makers. I have learned a lot in my short time here and I'm sure you will too.

I always mix my water and lye outside. I've caught a whiff of the fumes and they are nasty.

@Dawni These are the spots I noticed in my No slime castile. I don't think I've ever seen posts on DWS (dreaded white spots). :eek:

I made a batch of ZNSC (Zany’s No slime Castile) and have meant to post because I seem to have light colored spots. Weird.

Have been wrapping soap and sending it off to friends and family.

I'm fairly new to soaping, so take my suggestions for what they're worth. - I would enter your weights into soapcalc to get the exact weight of the water and lye for your bacon fat. - Generally we try to avoid getting bubbles into the soap as they leave small holes in the soap. - A stick blender...

The article I included a link to talks about the study taking samples of people’s body odor and sampling different age categories including teenage boys. Quite honestly I thought this whole thing was a joke. I think we are obsessed with trying to mask people’s smells as though they are always...

https://www.healthline.com/health/older-people-smell-different#takeaway This article is interesting and says that while old people do smell different, unless we know the source is old people, we don’t find the smell unpleasant. (Ageism) They cite 2 scientific articles for their findings. They...

I took a peek, but now want to read more about nonenal. How have I never heard that this was a real thing? Now I want to know the answer too!

Can you include a link to what you read? Is this an explanation of “old people smell”? :lol:

Okay, that makes total sense. I was envisioning a house where there was actually no kitchen. A disaster kitchen makes more sense. Good luck with your renovation. And congratulations on your new home. Soap Queen often uses a big knife in her videos to cut soap. But if you look closely it is a...

Is it possible that your friend’s grey water is warm/hot? That could kill plants for sure.

Can you please explain how your house came without a kitchen?
