Is Oleic Gel another term for slime? Edited @The Efficacious Gentleman confirmed that "Oleic Gel" is another term for slime, thank you! In that case, I guess I must beg to differ - unless we have different definitions of slime? To me, slime will occur in almost any soap that is left in a...

Ferdinand Is SOOOOOOOOO Humble NOTT

Sorry, It still does not make sense to me, replacing without for the wo it reads It's been reported that 50% oleic is the threshold for soap with without oleic gel.! Not understanding! HELP!

@earlene - Dr. Bronner's soap is on the list of "approved" items to take into The BOundary Waters (according to my sister) so they must have decided it has minimal (or at least far less) effect on those downstream. They are pretty doggone strict up there. I know, I know, OT, I just thumped...

@Dean May I clarify - you said: It's been reported that 50% oleic is the threshold for soap with wo oleic gel. Can you help a newbie understand that sentence? what does "wo oleic gel" mean? Thank you. By the way - I used some of my @Zany_in_CO castile yesterday (four weeks old) and I...

LUCKY YOU!

@earlene And the gamma lid is that big black thing, that looks like it provides some kind of kryptonite seal against moisture? Thanks!

@SoapySuds May I clarify - that link took me to nice clear containers with black lids that are made of PET. Can NaOH be safely stored in PET? I mean before mixing with H2O (I masterbatch)

Holy Moly @lsg - that chart is wicked useful! THANK YOU!!!!!

@Susie would you describe yourself as a bubble-aholic or a creamy lather-aholic - or both? I am still trying to get a grip on how to describe what I am looking for, as well as understanding what others mean! Thank you!

Fastidious Oscar Angered Mother SNAP!

@earlene THANK YOU! Super helpful!

Thank you all!

Thank you for correcting me @lsg ! I will start a new thread, and perhaps link this one to it? Cheers!

I have been trying to find a guide to how different oils affect trace - and thus far my googling has been in vain. Does such a list exist? Alternatively, I see @lsg that you mention above that a high level of unsaturated fatty acids will accelerate trace. In the attached profile, this...

Hi there - Has anyone used spray on mold release for their soaps? I am thinking primarily of the loaf soap molds - even the silicone liners in wooden frames (amazon) seem to give up soap reluctantly. I have tried freezer paper and fine it frustrating and fiddly. A friend of mine who works...
