Thanks-- that's good to know if anyone else comes looking. Not too surprising, I suppose, since that link was posted 4 years ago.

To better help you trouble shoot, we like to ask for your recipe, process, and how long the soap has been curing, and even your storage situation. Otherwise, it's hard to know what's going on.

Go to advanced search and use "favorite fragrance" with the quotation marks in the keywords box. Click "search titles only." That might help

Here is a playlist of videos aimed at teaching beginners to soap:

This is what I was thinking. Any bar of CP plus clear MP drips and beads of "sweat" could look pretty convincing.

Since it smells like breakfast cereal, how about something nostalgic like Saturday Morning

I made "single use" soaps by using a veggie peeler. The problem was, It was a mess to use. The pieces were either too small or too big. I ended up with little random bits of soap in the basin and of the sink. This can cause some future problems with your drain. If we're talking about veggie...

What would be the goal? Unless you are doing HP, you can't control which oil the lye monster will eat. As long as saponification is still happening, the oils will saponify.

My guess is powdered goats milk that wasn't fully incorporated.

Not familiar with the kit or is instructions. 1. How experienced address you as a soaper? 2. Was the goats milk powdered? 3. Is this a CP kit?

Yes-- it sounds alive! And if you catch it at the right moment, it looks like it, too....

No. I rarely wait that long. Every recipe is different. If you press on it and it feels like a block of cheddar cheese, you can probably unmold it.

Another for for wait-and-see. I hate rebatching, so I will always choose shredding over rebatching. The Ciaglia method of confetti soap makes a nice stone-like soap.

Soap with a high percentage of CO can overheat, even in a small mold. If you are near by, you can actually hear it as it expands!

Did you use the result as your oil weight or as your total batch weight?

I expect it's just the one called "palm oil" in the soap calcs

1. I agree with @AliOop -- that is a huge batch to make as an experiment. 450-500 g of oil will give you about 5-6 bars to try while you come up with more soapy ideas. 2. Have you calculated this by hand? I ask, because when I ran it through the lye calculator, it looks like the super fat comes...

What are your goals with this recipe?

It was 5, then they whittled it down to one free one and now it's bumped up to 2. As a hobby soaper, I don't use enough features to warrant the cost. I print my recipes and keep notes on them. If I want to experiment, I edit an existing recipe and print it out. That way, I don't lose the...

Those are great photos!
