    Liquid soap with NaOH???

    I just added another 10oz, which brings me up to 46 oz total so far for dilution. I know I'm going to have to add a bit more, but I don't want to add too much at one time. I had such high hopes last night, it was a beautiful, clear soap when I went to bed with just a thin layer of...

    Liquid soap with NaOH???

    I diluted mine with a total of 36 oz of H2O last night, stirred it all up and put it to bed ....this morning, it's cooled and one giant, gelatinous glob! The way it looks I'm thinking it just needed more water, WAY more water, so I'm going to boil some water, turn the crock back on and see...

    Liquid soap with NaOH???

    This is why I decided to do this tonight while hubby was working late lol The glazed over eyes and the subtle shake of his head that I just know is a silent version "bless her heart, she's done lost her mind" He just doesn't get WHY I get excited over soap lol

    Liquid soap with NaOH???

    I have a small batch in the crock pot cooking as I type...I couldn't use the recipes posted on the blogs because I have no shortening or corn oil!! So I said what the heck...threw caution to the wind and came up with my own recipe, using just Castor, CO, and lard HP Method for this one -...

    Liquid soap with NaOH???

    Just a thought here....it may be easier to do this HP - as soon as the soap is fully gelled and zapless start diluting while still warm and reasonably fluid? Hmmmm, I may give it a shot this evening. Hubby is working all evening, nothing else to do but soap :D

    How do you cure your soaps?... And for how long?

    Mine are put on a shelf standing upright in the curing room with a fan turned on low keeping the air circulating for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks they're put into baseball card storage boxes with a small packet of silica gel and kept naked until it's time to wrap/label them.

    Jet Tall & Skinny Mold Co-op Group on FB

    The last one is a CP MP mix yes :) Once I had my CP in the mold - I did a basic ITP swirl for it, I melted about 6oz of my homemade M base colored it green then just did a basic drop swirl into the mold right down the middle of the CP batter. Then I grabbed my handy dandy hanger tool and just...

    Some nice stamps here....

    That was my concern on them as well DeeAnna, they're beautiful to be certain, but I'm afraid many of them might just be too detailed to be good on soap!

    Did y'all see the sale at American Soap supplies?

    Soap Making Resource Slab Mold?

    Does anyone have the acrylic slab mold from Soap Making Resource? I keep looking at it and I even go so far as to get it in the shopping cart (several times) then back out at the last minute. I'd love to hear what others have to say about their acrylic molds before I take the leap on this...
