I have been making salt bars all this time, and I started to question if I was making my salt bars right, I became confused on the super fat and what it actually is. I was adding the SF oils into my batch rather then discounting the lye in my receipe; the last batch I made didnt looked too good...

is the amount of salt different when making a brine soap vs a salt bar? What oils can be used to super fat, or just CO? Can I use olive oil to super fat?

ok, my soaps are really bubbly now but I will try a test batch and see the difference. I will try honey.

what is the purpose of adding sugar?

Your swollen feet could be a medical condition, but I use my bath bombs to soak my feet. .

good to know, I was thinking of buying one.:(

That happen to me too, I didn't leave it long enough, the other thing too is that I was using a wood mold, I think wood hold in heat longer. I saw this mold in etsy that looks like it would be cooler on my GM soaps...

my first CP salt bars, I have always made, what I thought was a salt bar, the HP way. Recently, I got tired of the look so I started to check into how others were making salt bars the CP way. Found out that this forum makes soap better then any other forum and that includes Soaping 101.

I finally made that salt bar. I just wanted to let those that have not tried to make a salt bar know how I did my. First, I needed to know when I was to pour the SF oils, I used 10% SF and shunt2011, 50% salt. I have always made HP salt bar and never did a 50% salt. As embarrassed as it makes...

This is an idea that is out of the box thinking.

Does the soap have a red run off to it?

Where did you buy it at? Nice color

Now that makes sense. I was wondering about that super fat factor. Ok, thanks.

And what gets me is that some ask for a discount. I will discount at 60+ but its very little. I think that it depends on what we are trying to do. Some one once told me, "You go to as many, because that depends on how much you will make." I dont do large shows either, anything over 120 for two...

I have been making HP salt bars. I now want to try something new, CP. Since I never made a CP salt bars, I am wondering if it is going to make a difference. From watching and reading recipes, none have mentioned at what point is the super fat oil poured. I add my salt and super fat when the...

I saw the date of this post and deleted. Have a real bad cold and just not myself. I haven't been around either. Anyway, that salt rock does miracles.

Why is she wiping the bottom of the soaps? What size and wt are the soaps? How does one order?

NsMar, I added little at a time because the person I am learning this from said to keep the GM from overheating and to do that its not adding a bit at a time, let it cool, and add more. I see that as I was making this that it was to much time. AMD, yes my GM saponified, I hope its still good...
