You know, those old school potato mashers might work too, they are about as wide as a slab mold

You are not thread hijacking we are all here to learn. I noticed the bottom of my newest batch DID have tiny 'pits' in them I will try to snap a picture and show you they might not show up on my crappy camera though

No no, Nothing to apologise for. :) I am completely alright with anyone saying things to me and such, I just am /bad/ at reading between the lines, thats why the internet medium is good for me, I can read it, erase and edit and try to explane better so I dont come out looking like a ass....most...

At first, I hated it SOOOOOOOOO Much, now that the soap is slowly (SO SLOWLY!) drying, it looks good. Kinda like you said, like a frosted glass kinda thing. My second batch had no ash! And the crack was much smaller on top too so, I am getting there. :)

It makes me miss my straight razor so much :( Looks amazing, keep up the awsome work!

Those results are amazing. Maybe ill have to try to make one for the room mate some day ^.^ But ....not yet :)

Anyway, before I got side tracked I planned to post pictures of the second batch. It smells right, and came out firm, but Olive Oil clearly does not like being colored, what was supposed to be white (And I used enough liquid color to choke a horse) came out looking like those Maple candies (If...

I understand the polite way of saying "Hey quit asking so many damn questions and quit making soap" :) But the fact is that I try several oil blends, no two recipes are the same right now. Each batch I learn somthing new about the process and get to try suggestions I read in threads, or ones...

But doing it at RT, doesnt that mess up your gel phase or at the very least get the oils to seperate? Maybe ill try it next batch :P

I admit, I peeked (But only to put a heating pad under it) and there is a big brown spot in the center (oval shaped) in the middle of the loaf, now I am kinda hoping that is just part of the gel Phase, and that it will work itself out. BUt we will know in a few hours ya? :D We can do that ^.^

This is somthing I am looking at myself, but I think putting a heating pad, under a mold, surrounded by towels, in a air tight box is screaming for a fire in my extra room, isnt it? :P

That is insane o.o

Noted! These are all great notes, but wont the gel phase not come (Or take longer) if mixxed at room temp? I was 'always told' that mixxing them at higher temps was better for some mystery reason :D Any idea about the time it takes to go through Gel? I only have the one box :) And if this one...

THank you Newbie, and I may invest in a heating pad if this second batch does not full-gel either. The molds are nice though no problem at ALL (really) unmoulding them, no lining etc. :) Though I wanna get this gel thing down before I invest in more, I also am thinking about one of those nice...

Well This time around we made a nice Dragons Blood Scent (I will post pictures in 12-24 hours depending) and things went find untiiiil... I mixxed until I got a light trace, added the FO, and smacked it with the stick blender for about 2-5 seconds (maybe a hair more no more than ten) and...

Jojoba Oil, Confused it for Babassu. My little mixer thing (havent done colors yet) and any of my pigments or colors, but those will change im sure.

I think so, its got the whole list on the website :) I am using my phone atm or i could look it up

Dang only one person with one place? I'm a sad panda :(
