I use 1 teaspoon Kaolin Clay per ppo, and mix it in my lye mixture.

Welcome! Made my heart skip a beat when I saw Nova Scotia. My family is from Bras d’Or, Cape Breton.

Welcome to the forum. There are a LOT of very experienced soap makers here. You’ll learn a lot. Have fun.

The DISH forum was no longer working.

They look like banana slices! Great job!

Thank you so much!

ZNSC is now my very favorite soap formula. I have a problem though, I can’t stick blend it (to ensure fragrance oil/batter put aside for a swirl). If I do, I have to plop the batter into the mold. I can only whisk it. It moves so fast for me, even taking out a bit so I can swirl makes me...

Ohhh, great idea! I’m going to start doing that. Thank you! If I forget anything, it’s mostly always the FO.

I made ZNSC (Love this soap, thank you Zany_In_Co!), Unscented (accident), was going to use Dragon’s Blood with a pink swirl (for my Grandaughter) now, just with a pink swirl LOL. It has Kaolin Clay and Sodium Gluconate. Lined my very old BB 18 bar mold to make some Coconut or Southern Peach...

That’s awesome. What are you using as a liner please?

I write the formula for the amount of oils used in my batch on the bottom of my mold. I put the whole formula on it - mostly so I don't forget it lol.This is for the old BB 18 bar mold, about 20 years old.

Oh Jeez, I forgot to add my Dragon’s Blood FO to my granddaughters soap. Ugh. I’ll just have to make another batch for her. It will now be the regular color with a pink swirl LOL. Oh well, it will still be a nice soap. I’ll just include it in my Christmas presents as a non scented soap. It has...

Gorgeous 😍 work! You crochet fast too!

So cute!

I use a mitre box from Home Depot and a pastry cutter thingy. Bars aren't uniform. It's ok since I don't sell. If I want really pretty bars I use my BB 18 bar mold. Gonna use it today.

I make these for my family. I use organic dried Elderberries, spices, honey and a bit of lemon juice. They are so yummy.

I do it different. I multiply the LxWxD of the inside of the mold, and then multiply that number by .39. Your mold is 8 x 3.5 x 2.5 = 70. Then 70 x .39 = 27.3 oz oils. That’s what I would use. It’s easy and works for me.

It's by Prima Marketing.

I made Zany’s No Slime Soap in a 3# mold. Man, it went fast! I did the one with the OO, CO and Castor. I scented it with Lavender and Cedar, used green mica. Under the blanket now. I was going to do a swirl, no go. Christmas gifts for my family along with my Cinnamon soap I made yesterday. A...

Oh wow, my ex lives in Washoe Valley, his house is the closest to the lake. Yes, our water is so hard, I use a Zero Filter, hopefully it will help. I usually add sugar to my water and forgot this time. Haven't really had any problems with DOS thank goodness. It does have a good scent. It'll be...
