I would treat like tallow. Have you rendered it down yet?

Hi, try mixing with alcohol. Apply with pipette. Then, Swirl Baby, Swirl.

Building on @dibbles comment. why does it take so long to unmold? Why is it still soft after that time. Might be an issue of tweaking your recipezee.

Hi, could you use the molds you have. Without the silicone liners? Just lined with paper.

Hi, the oil has been subjected. To some very high temps already. Shelf life has been compromised. Don't expect a too much from it. I used it at 50%. Trying to use it in a recipe. But still make a reasonable bar. I filtered mine thru several layers of cheese cloth. But did not salt it out. As...

Hi, look like glycerine rivers? What's in it? Is this the inside or an end cut? Need more info.

What a great way to display your soap. Xtra nice.

Hi, a lot of people. Master batch at 1:1, then adjust concentration for the recipe on hand.

Hi, rancity to my knowledge is either recipe or environmental based. Or both. How soon is rancity showing up? Also, everyone assumed, but nobody ask. Are you an industrial looking for help. Or just a hobbyist, using noodles.

Hi, a reptile cage heating pad works as well. But, heat can be recipe dependent also. My goat milk recipe heats up on it's own. Add honey and I have to watch. It does not overheat. So, just covering with towels. Works for this. Where as, my Lard recipe needs a helping hand. Heating pad...

Hi, actually no need for a blender at all. But, I too am a recovered blenderadic. Start with the trinity recipe. Tweek from there. 33% palm or lard or tallow 33% olive or HO sunflower oil. 30% coconut oil ,you can cut by 10% and add 10% butter of some type. Shea, cocoa? 4% castor oil Your...

Hi, a lot of people stick blend to emulsion. Then whisk from there. You can always thicken it up, doesn't work the other way. That's a lot of castor oil and coconut oil. What are you trying to achieve with your recipe?
