    keeping mica color vibrant

    Good morning everyone! I just received a large variety of mica from dibbledabblediy.com and am wondering what everyone does to keep the color vibrant during cp soap making.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    same here I think it is beautiful I received half of a 75 lb batch of beef fat and have been chopping it up all day. I'm in full blown whining mode because my shoulder now hurts lol. However the gin and tonic is helping. It would be better if I had a claw foot tub to sink up to my chin in...

    big mistake, I forgot the coconut oil

    lol, I make tons of soap because I'm friends with a butcher. He gets 6 to 12 bars each time he gives me a 50 lb box of pig or beef fat. I just like doing it plus giving it away has gotten me a few perfect recipes judging from replies

    big mistake, I forgot the coconut oil

    will rebatching result in a soft soap that washes away quickly though I did mold it, and to look at it and feel it, it looks right. I've decorated it and everything. Grrrr. I just want to throw it away

    Wanted: Favorite Lard soap recipe

    Hi I'm new here as well, (I've been a lurker for a while though) I don't mind giving you my recipe and I absolutely love it. It is a super hard bar, cures very quick, has nice bubbles and makes me squeaky clean. I used 45 % lard, I rendered it myself though so the stuff at the store sometimes is...

    question re: making initial soap paste before diluting

    I tried soapCalc but couldn't figure it out. I'll try it again tomorrow when Im not tired. I used majestic mountain sage's lye calculator. I will try the other soap calculators as well and see what the difference is. I did dilute some of the paste and it is clear, not separating, and cleans...

    Looking at the printed recipe there is actually no olive oil in it, sorry about that. There is 1592 grams of lard and 756 grams of coconut oil. 504.85 grams of potassium hydroxide, and 587 grams of water
