Any in put is appreciated! I have been using this recipe and it has worked fine but wanted to run it past you guys!! Thank you! 10oz olive oil (284g) 8oz coconut (227g) 6.5oz palm (184g) 3oz canola (85g) 1.5oz caster (43g) 9.6 h2o (271g) 4.09 lye (116g) This recipe is superfat at 5% can i...

What do you mean by water content? Dont you use the amount of water called for in the recipe? I use what it says in the soap calculator at a 5% discount if i used more or less wouldnt that screw things up? I thought we had to pretty much follow the rules when it comes to the water? Thank you in...

Well i sure hope it doesnt happen again! Love your swirls on your soap in the picture! Did it clean up and were you able to use it? Mine will be "for my family soap" as long as its safe after curing a while..

Brenda, i bet it could be that.. I usally am so careful about that.. But sure could be. I'm so thankful for all of your help out there.. So frustrating and i dont want to give up!

The rosemary geranium has just a tish of ground rosemary... So is there something i can do to promote a full jell? More insulation? I like a harder bar to work with. Thank you so much i feel like its not a lost cause!

i made all these loafs from the same base oil recipe that i pre measured all at the same time. the first loaf of the rosemary/geranium turned out ok but look at the other 2, and the next one is a patchouli with the other 2 patchouli are better, as are the 3 cinnamon. I put my recipe through the...

I just purchased 50lb pails of coconut and palm oils. I have never melted the pail of oil and stirred b/4 measuring and never had a problem with my soap, but i am wondering if thats something i should/need to do? Whats your ideas on this? Thank you!!

So if i have problems getting it to pop out can i put it in the freezer for a while? I have with milled soap but never CP. thank you for your suggestions!

I use freezer paper to line a hard plastic (utensile trays) mold. I put the shiny side up as it lays better. I dont bring the paper up over the mold. I cut it to fit. This works great for me except i end up with a couple good creases in the finished soap from the paper. There are no creases...
