    How long with heating pad to gel?

    Thank you, I know that the variables are many, I just didn't even have a point of reference, i.e. 45 min. Or many hours!

    How long with heating pad to gel?

    they are the small containers I got from Walmart, Ive not used the heating pad before. How long do you think? They are 3/4 full. I know there are a lot of variables, but is there a 'ballpark 'on how long gel takes in somehing this size (if it does at all!).

    I get to try my first cured soap tonight!

    My thoughts too!! I never realized the differences! I also did wonder if a soap needs a 'break in' period, bitter after a couple of uses. Now, you KNOW I will be dragging SOAP across my body to see from now on! What is nice and slick for you?

    Deoderant and chemical burns

    Agreed! I was stinky for a couple of months, not really any more. I notice it most when I've been carnivorous!!

    I get to try my first cured soap tonight!

    Thank you!! I just made my first recipe with GV shortening, I know it's not the same as lard, but I'm getting closer. I'm going to give that a try and tell DH something better is coming!! I LOVE my soap so far, and I still have about 8 more batches to try (in due time). I'm kind of glad they...

    Embedding Cold Process into Melt and Pour ???

    Well, then let me ask a similar question here. I have lots of pretty, thin trimmings from cp loaves. I've wondered if I could cut them up and put them in a clear mp. I've been trying to picture the look. Thoughts?

    Deoderant and chemical burns

    This is the company I used to use, and the ingredients that I've duplicated. I haven't used all f those EO, although I would love to. A costly start up, but I guess I would be in deodorant for anLONG time! I used just a few.

    I get to try my first cured soap tonight!

    Sooo... I guess different people use soap in different ways, making their needs different!! I've showered with my husband hundreds of times over 25 years, and didn't realize that he doesn't lather the soap first, he just starts dragging it around on his body!! He finds it 'draggy'. I don't...

    I get to try my first cured soap tonight!

    Hmmm... I will take that into consideration! I don't know what has made me think soap NEEDED a good amount of oo! second night on the 30% co. I think it's fine. I'll give It some more days before I really know. It's going to take a lot of time, and comparing!! It's hard that I have 12...

    Small Batch Single Oil Soaps

    I'm really curious about this!! Wow! Do you imagine that the sunflower, canola, and avocado will take as long as the OO to cure? How long do that stay in the mold?

    I found these containers at walmart

    Thanx, earlene, knowing me, I will probably try it!! Do you, also, see potential molds all over the place??!?

    I get to try my first cured soap tonight!

    Great idea! Well, the first one felt kind of 'draggy', maybe because no castor oil? I didn't have any yet! I wondered if it was the low sf, but the second one only had 2%, and it felt great!!. The second one feels SO awesome!! Beautiful lather!! It's 30% coconut, no wonder!! I haven't used...

    I found these containers at walmart

    its not as big as it looks, I wondered about rubbing it well with petroleum first, so the batter doesn't seep into the cardboard.
