I also use only iodize salt cause thats the only kind i can get, no problems. I use it at 50%.

Yeah, i was on their website earlier and it didnt show replacements but, i am on mobile so i was waiting to see on the PC since i can not see the whole listing. It sucks because its only a year old the blender works, is just that thing that broke! I’ll try that other link, i really dont wanna...

So... this happened. Do i need to buy a whole new stick blender? Does anyone know if i can get only the attachment thingy? The brand is Oster.

I used one of my salt bars that was 6 months old and it only smelled like... soap. It was scented with lavander EO so I was expecting that.

For me, I’m still exploring options and while I understand the whole Palm oil debacle, i found a supplier that claims is sustainable and local, things I can not really confirm first hand. And while I would like to ise more shea and cocoa butters, a) they are waaaaaaay too expensive on an...

Oh yeah, I've done that too, but it can get very messy very quickly and I don't think we ever finished one, ha!

I have a confesion to make: I still write fanfiction. I started when I was like 12 or something and my love of writing lead me study literature and creative writing. The bad news is that, when writing became a job, i stoped enjoying it, and so, i quit writing for about 8 years. Last november i...

I do have one bar from my first ever batch. It was uncolored and unscented and i use it every couple of months to see how is it doing. And happy to report is a very nice bar of soap! The super long cure time really helped and also its got no DOS so thats a plus.

I keep a note on my phone with all the batches I have made so far. I started it to know when i would be able to use it, so, naturally, i noted the date and a brief description of the soaps to know which is which. Well, as I was adding todays couple of soaps to the list, i noted that my first...

It will saponify too, it just takes longer. Yes, its because of the heat. To gel or not to gel the soap comes down to personal preference, both ways are fine. On the plus side now you have a two soaps from the same batch/same ingredients and one gelled and not so you can compare them and see...

Just a note, even if this particular FO is not suitable for soap (because it accelerates crazy fast) other FO’s from your supplier might work. I buy small quantities (15 mils) that are just about enough to try. If they work, i buy again, if they dont, i buy others. Trial and error. What i...

Sooo I finally jumped in and made my first batch of Zany’s no slime castille. Added a bit of mica cause I was gonna use a mango fragrance that i needed to test since ages ago. Behaved super well both the recipe and the FO. Cant wait to test it.

I’ve made several coffee batches and none smell bad, only the mix with the lye, they all smell, well like the coffee FO that I used.

You have to put the soap in the mold in the oven, not in the container, cause as you found out, the heat speeds the process and turns it to soap.

The family group chat was officially dissolved :) half of them were hipocrites and I was obly there because i wanted to know how far they would go with it. Now the group is done and I wont have to deal with them anymore. That makes me happy. And the family I do love we still chat and get along...

I didnt change anything in my process, this is my thread with all the info Scratchy soap help https://www.soapmakingforum.com/index.php?threads/Scratchy-soap-help.71807/ I think my recipe is there but anyway, no, I just carried on as usual, i made like 20 batches after it first happened...

Mine look like this if i take them off and like this on the soap I dont use beeswax nor butters, as i said, it happened then stopped then happened again and stopped again.

Do you have a picture of the scratchy bits? I ask because i had that happen to me all of a sudden with a recipe i always do and i still dont know what it was. It started happening, i kept making soap and then it stopped happening so i have no clue what it was, but I am interested in knowing if...

I still dont understand why the scorched milk?

I make balls with the scraps and either use them on the kitchen sink instead of dish soap for my hands or use them for a new batch with “planets” inside.
