Why would the soap volcano in the mould like that? Was is still to hot when it was poured or something?

I can totally see that being something popular, I mean they sell things on think geek that are like bacon flavored mints, so why not corn dog soap LOL but you have to make it look like corndog. bacon anything was all the rage a few years, maybe now its time for corn dogs. I like to bake for...

here it is - its beautiful. I can't wait to try the coconut milk bars, I have crazy dry skin on my back so im testing what seems to cause least amount of itch after.

My FIRST batch, didn't turn out so good - I made a few mistakes...mostly to do with my zero patience....and in the end I had watery soap that looked like dirty old fryer oil. If you have ever seen really dirty fryer oil you know what I mean, it looks burnt, there are fat floaties on top and...

Thanks for the detailed response. I had a feeling that was the case, the soap is beginning to get a white foam on top so I guess I'll let it settle and remove it. I think I'll try to stick to no lanolin for now until I know for sure if my end product is correct.

If I use lanolin in my soap base will it make the soap go cloudy? Or will it be translucent? Usually if you mix in hot water with soap it goes milky white but if that's the case with the soap base how do I I know if the paste is made correctly when I dilute it to see if it's cloudy or not...

So my potassium hydroxide finally showed up.... Only took forever and now my vacation is over but owell. Can I make liquid body soap with coconut milk? Instead of water? I have some sitting around and I'd like to use it if I can.

Great thanks

I realize that but I prefer having the lanolin in it anyways. It doesn't hurt

do you use a clarifying shampoo? if you have alot of buildup you can use one of those once a week to remove the buildup. its the stuff people with dreads use, any oils or conditioners left in the hair will cause the dreads to unravel so they use clarifying shampoo only. thats what my hair...

This is interesting I've never heard of this stuff.... I mean have heard of polysorbate but had no idea what it was. Does it replace the lye in this recipe? Maybe once I figure out what I'm doing I'll mad scientist a recipe together. I found something last night on this site called chickens in...

Sure I won't mind sharing. Now the hard part is waiting for my supplies to arrive

Hi Everyone, I am new to soap making - not really looking to get too into making soap, I am just mainly interested in making my own wool wash. Its not really available in any store in my area, and there is only one knitting shop in the entire city and they dont stock stuff like that. The stuff...
