This is a helpful thread. I like making liquid soap paste by cold process and saving it to dilute later. I may try that method with Pilat's formulation. Again, thanks for the information. Carol.

In my classes, we use 60:20:20, lard:coconut:olive. My everyday soap at home used 5%castor. Good stuff.

Good job.

Well, shoot. I need to make a note in my calendar about when this is next time. We already scheduled a beginner class in Spartanburg that Saturday. I've wanted to go to this for the last two years, but there are always conflicts. I might ought to follow the FB page so I'll be prepared next...
