My attempts were with the device placed into the mould and the soap poured through it - a pour through technique (although you do have to lift it out at the very end) Some of the other contestants used a flat object at the bottom of the mould, poured all their soap on top, and then pulled the...

Well done to winners and everyone else who participated! I loved seeing so many entries :D

This is an old post from 2009

Sorry I have absolutely no clue but I just wanted to ask what the difference is between a brine bar and a soleseife bar? I thought they were the same thing

@Rogue-Soaper what a creative idea for a pull through tool!

So now I have uploaded my entry, here are the other soaps I ended up with through this process. My entry was attempt #1 funnily enough, done with a mini colander and a faux funnel pour. Attempt #2 was done with a full size veggie strainer and scented in BB Applejack peel. Also done with a faux...

Here is my entry for this month's challenge. I had four attempts using different tools I found around the house for a pour through..I had one more planned which I think will be good but past the deadline. For this soap I used a mini colander purchased at Kmart in Australia - I know some of the...

Hopefully my conversion is correct and we still have about 8 hrs to go. I have another attempt in the mould and an alarm set for the morning to cut and photograph it. I think it's the best of my attempts thus far, but if not I do have an alternative entry too. Good luck to everyone still working...

Eeek! Can't wait to see what everyone came up with!

I echo the why ...

I use both handmade and artisan on my labels, just depends which product. They are all labelled on the front as handmade goat milk Soap, my flashy coloured ones with FO and mica I term artisan soaps compared to my fragrance free and essential oil/natural colourants range

What were the actual amounts of NaOH and water that you used?

I planed half my batch away and got some reasonable bars, though I now have an absurd pile of confetti ...

You are all.much wiser than me! I periodically leave fb from time to time, I actually hate how social media makes people behave ... like that guy literally commented he posted it to intentionally inflame people because he was bored. I don't like the nasty side fb brings out in people...

I am pretty sure fb is the root cause of the apocalypse :rolleyes: the writer in other comments seems to infer that soap is only soap if you use naturally derived lye, so anyone using purchased NaOH is making syndet. But.also then contradicts themself by saying soap is only.made with NaOH.not...

I'm curious to hear thought on this statement. The poster appears to suggest that because we use lab made sodium hydroxide, which is synthetic, we are not making soap, we are making synthetic detergents. I think a syndet is a different thing to a soap bar and I don't follow the logic here ...

Hmm so I have planed my little heart out (did I mention I don't actually have a planer??o_O), the ITPS I posted the other day wasn't saveable at all, though it smells delightful. BB coastal rain. It will still be a nice soap. A couple of the others show some sort of patterns which aren't too...

I have to admit I am terrible at MP and totally in awe of some of the things people can do with it! There's an Australian soapmaker called Dean who does MP and you tube clips. I think on you tube he is sentinel soaps

Bookreader I am the same ... I have made four attempts so far, might do a fifth today and I did order a thingy off eBay which may or may not arrive in time (our post is now useless with coronagate) so there may or may not be a final attempt. None are looking very inspiring however I will pick...
