Great. thanx. I will try this.

oh. nice. refined shea. Great idea. unrefined is so yellow. Hard to use some colored clays because it comes out brown or gray.

Definitely get the castor oil by the gallon on line. Will last a long time. The grocery store $2 an ounce castor oil was killing me! I got my gallon from amazon.

i Know. lol means, I'm joking. I also get up crazy early, I'm aware that most aren't up yet and have lives beyond this forum. So, with this recipe, I would reduce the CO and increase which other oils, in your opinion? Thanx in advance! All percentages.... 55 lard 20 coconut 10 olive oil 10 HO...

Me 2. Wake up people! We need answers!! lol. Should have researched more. Reading this: Superfat

My current understanding of SF is: 1) Super means Extra 2) SF means fat that has not been saponified. 3) 5% SF has more free un-saponified fat/oils than 3% So, why does my 30% coconut bar feel as dry as my 3% recipe on my hands? Do I have this correct??

That's my recipe as well. Nice color. Almost white.

Great info. Thanx!!

I know. It's a baking rack. Enamel coated. Sometimes leaves little wire marks if I cut too early. Thank you for the kind words. Thanx. Good to hear. I'm not always the best with color combos. My son (actual artist) is constantly trying to teach me about color wheels and complementary...

oh. Well. I just watched the lady on the video and did what she said to do. I did put the black on the bottom, cause I thought that would be easier. Just, down, move over, up, move over, down, etc. with my coat hanger. Maybe next time add a different color layer to the top would be cool too.

lol. Not sure I'm qualified to tell others how to do anything at this point. Thanx for the kind words.

Thanx.

Saw a video on you tube for this technique. Super fun to do. Colors aren't exactly complementary in my eye, but still striking in person.

So, can we post up what we did, even though we weren't in the contest? Black on the bottom. Coat hanger.

Blue Steel cryo strings I'm a guitar player and I use these strings. Haven't broken one since I switched to them in around 1993 (on my guitars). Prolly any cryo strings will be better than cheaper strings. Don't use "Super Slinky" or similar. Too much stretch.

Thank you!

good idea. thanx

Thank you. I saw these labels on here somewhere and ordered from Amazon. My son is a wiz with printing things. They stick pretty well, even on bars that are too fat to allow the label to stick to itself on the back.

Ok then. Here ya go!

Thanx for the input. Let's try these c$$s words. San Antonio Tejas. Bean and rice. dern. lol. Yes. experienced crafter is acurate. I'm a hobby guy. I deep dive for years on them. I always try to break even so my hobbies are free for me. Borosicilicate glass making is crazy. Very...
