Thanks! I just noticed as I was looking at it, that I had intended to show the second example in grams instead of ounces, but did not actually change the example! I must have been very tired lol. I re-uploaded it with the second example shown in grams, not that it changes how the calculator...

Also, I DO like the idea of 'anywhere access' to the software and storing data and recipes online, and the annual and lifetime subscription ideas are great -- but it brings up the question, what if the site goes down, such as a hosting issue, DOS attack, etc? Or even if it closes down...

Here's the spreadsheet and info I mentioned for calculating precise superfat of oils for HP. Been too much going on for me to do anything with it beyond what's here, never got around to finishing the ideas I had planned for it, so really it's just a quick calculator, but you're welcome to see...

Hi, sorry it's taken so long to reply. I don't know if I'd go with that much coconut... there's the drying factor, but also the coconut oil is the more water-soluble one, meaning it is the one that dissolves faster, which i exactly what you're trying to avoid. I don't know for sure what percent...

Toad

A super-luxury bar -- pricey, but worth it for a treat -- is the one I mentioned in another thread about a replacement for palm oil.., huge amounts of mango and especially shea. It takes at least 8 weeks or longer to cure before it gets a decent lather but it's soooo nice on the skin, it's worth...

Terry Brooks, Tolkien, and Roger Zelazny are my favorite authors. Working my way through the Shannara series right now. Finished the original trilogy. Oh, can't forget Douglas Adams --

Shake

Very pretty! I love it!

Hello Jamie, everyone here is awesome and caring, and we love getting others thoroughly entrenched in this hobby! And don't worry, there's plenty of guidance as well, for just about anything you can come up with. :-)

Music

Well, I know from experience with using some of the more greenish EVOO that the sickly yellow often will still lighten with cure time, to a light cream even to nearly white... and so if your micas were discolored by the EVOO, they might eventually be closer to the color you'd planned. Unless...

Depending on how strictly some follow the principles of their religions, such as mentioned with Jewish or Muslim, they might not even use soap made in the same container or with the same utensils as lard, or also with milk. I have a Jewish friend who I've been discussing it with... it is...

Yes, you can increase lather some using sugar, but you already have a good bit of sugar in there from the Papaya puree. It just needs cure time. A lot of things happen during cure to make soap become soap. Water evaporates, ph becomes milder, lather increases, molecules settle into a tighter...

When your hubby has to call you at the hospital at tell you that you need to A) stop ordering WSP when you're there, because he has no idea where to put it, so it's piled up in the kitchen until you get home to look, and B )really really stop ordering when there are heavy-duty pain meds in...

When you collect the plastic water pitchers at the hospital. They're great for mixing ļye. :-)

Hubby likes sandalwood, cedarwood, fir needle, rosemary, orange, and patchouli -- kindof a complicated blend, but very nice together! :-)

LOL, yes, I know that, and YOU know that, but I didn't get the sense that the OP knew that, or some of the others asking about it, so I was just clarifying, since this forum is a source of info for a lot of people still trying to figure out what's what. :-)

Kidney

Well, a year and a half ago, the biggest was only 3mm, and that was plenty painful, but would require surgery, because staghorn stones are shaped like deer antlers, and just won't pass on their own. But, no insurance, no surgery! Soooooooo... now I have insurance, and looks like my kidney were...
