    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Credit given, lol!! And I hope your visit was alright.. we are in the middle of winter here - I had a late queen emerge before a death, then we moved 500kms north, so I'm worried about them.. but I was happy to see some life the other day when I installed another candy board! It is the best...

    Any ideas what this is?

    Thank you for that suggestion! When I just used a box/blanket, I got partial gel.. when I used the heat pad, I got cracked soap.. I'm looking for the sweet spot, and you may have given me the answer that I need. Cheers!

    Any ideas what this is?

    I put my soap on a heating pad for 30 mins, after covering it with a box and blanket.. but my heating pad is professional grade, and got too hot.. I may try only 15 mins another time..

    Yup, looks like partial gel.. I made red wine soap for Christmas that did that... I've also tried to force gel, and ended up with having to fix cracked soap... of all the things, that is one that I'm having the most trouble figuring out for consistent results, lol!

    Thanks for that info - I thought that I had read that HP was ready to use right away (becuae it's fully saponified).. but I had wondered if a curing time would make a difference..

    Festive soap ideas

    This post made me wonder about making festive HP soap... it's not too late for that!! I mostly use natural colours... and not experienced in HP, but I'm sure some beautiful swirls could be done!

    @KiwiMoose That sounds like an exhausting "break" lol!! I can't wait to see how your soap turns out! @amd I think that your soap looks lovely - I'm imagining the way it'll look cut, and me holding the soap in hand, wondering how the pattern looked on other bars, lol! And @Misschief I totally...
