For my recipe 'overnight' is 8 hours. But that is recipe dependent. For example, a 100% Coconut Oil soap gel MUCH faster.

I would not exceed 2% menthol crystals. They really go a long way! Try adding them to your melted hard oils.

The amount can vary wildly. For Fragrance Oils use what the manufacturer recommends. If no amount is given start at 3%. For Essential Oils check over at eocalc.com for usage rates.

I... literally have no words.

Drop the water entirely and use Witch Hazel.

Greetings and welcome to the addiction. :-)

Greetings, and welcome to the addiction. :-)

1. Yes, this is normal. You just stuck your finger in a caustic substance. It's going to hurt. 2. Citrus Essential Oils do not survive saponification very well. Examples are Orange, Lime, Lemon, and Bergamot. In about a year you should have some very mild soap there. :-)

Do you suppose that is for safety? Or perhaps because the motor is not designed for constant load?

Took about a week for me to receive my order.

Patchouli is a nice earthy scent.

The only way I found to ward away melt and pour sweat was to use a shrink wrapper.
