I agree. I think there was some kind of over lap. Only way to tell is??? I just don't buy soft glass at all for glass blowing cause it would be a disaster to accidentally mix the 2. They handle very differently when melting.

cool. I'll check it out. 60 here! Using Cymbiotica liposomal magnesium to help w/long and short term memory. Takes some getting use to tho. Memories come flooding back from my whole life sometimes. Short term is great for work.

I did not know about the date. I thought it was much longer ago like the '40's. I need to re-research this. I may have overlooked some good Pyrex items at estate sales. I remember that there was a design change after they stopped with the boro glass. Is that correct? there it is! haha...

The original Pyrex was borosilicate glass which is harder and has a higher melting point and less brittle/temperature shocky than tempered glass, which is what all "pyrex" brand glass is now. Boro glass is called 'hard' glass and regular glass is called 'soft' glass in the glass melting/blowing...

embed. made a loaf and long cut the corners and put 2 together.

Made these with the school logo, sort of, for my nephew. New recipe w/2% citric acid. Please ignore the rack. SNU Storm logo.

When do you add the water with citric acid back in? 1) add to oil before lye solution? or 2) add to lye solution and then add to oils?

Change narrative to "Super Secret method for cool design" Looks awesome btw.

ok. Sounds like a good plan. Thanx.

Trying to make a less drying bar by reducing the Coconut oil. Recipe #1 reduced it by 5% and #2 is down another 5%. #1 felt a little less drying but not enough to keep making it. Increased the lard by 50g fyi. All in Grams. Remove one zero to get percentages. 1000g total oils. 600 Lard...

Nothing for me, but EVERYONE else got soap!!

thanx. yes faux seawater. I guess it mimics real sea water. Just followed the recipe. Seem to be getting more white as they age.

ah. I did not know that. Thanx.

I try to read everything I can. Always learn something new here. Deep dive is the way!

Yes. I think it is Oneida. Rack is plastic coated.

Good to know.

So I succumbed to all the peer pressure and made some yesterday! Wasn't much different from my other recipes except I had to blend it longer. Came out nice and hard after about 18 hours. More yellow than the photo shows. Seems it's called 'Bastile' soap on here. Not sure if I did the faux sea...

Nice spoon action on the top. Looks cool.

I'm in S. Texas and we have hard water also. Great info. I'll apply your advice. I have NOT mastered making single soap testers. Just enough batter for one bar, I'm guessing?

I have not tried that. Thanx, I'll check it out.
