What do you mean? I wash by hand, one or two squirts. I have yet to find a workable formula, I have been tweaking a formula 1 cup water, 1 TBS soap, 1 TBS washing soda, 1 tsp glycerin. That cleans ok except for tough grease like heavy cream and animal fats. I tried again to add TBS of...

Understandable, one KOH is difficult to obtain particular where I live. Two liquid soap seems challenging compared to CP soap.

Please help. The problem is that 50% Coconut / 50% Tallow 0% superfat does not clean dishes properly. I tried this formula from Prairie Homestead. http://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2014/01/homemade-liquid-dish-soap.html 3 cups water 2 tablespoons grated bar soap– I used my homemade tallow...

Yes they didn't have access to pure lye and couldn't measure it correctly that's why they had to do the boiling method. Now that we have pure NaOH that could make it faster with CP. It's the same with Black African Soap.

Think I found the perfect delicates laundry soap 50% Tallow 50% Coconut oil 0% super fat. I made it and re batched into cream soap. Sane ingredients for Zote a Mexican hand wash soap.

Can you make Aleppo soap with just normal Cold Process, Olive oil and Lye water and add Bay Laurel oil after trace? Do you think the Syrians went through that convoluted process just because they could measure the Lye percentages very accurately? Or none perfect measures.

Hi I rebatched it, it never gelled or went clear or it just when into a white cream soap.

Well can you make nice clear yellow liquid soap with NaOH? Not talking about rebatching bar into liquid.

This was meant to be a liquid dish soap can I just got to thus step without rematch? http://www.mommypotamus.com/homemade-liquid-dish-soap-recipe/ I think I will rebatch as the grease paper stuck to the soap and didn't readily peel off. Still smells like Lamb Tallow too. Once I rebatch can I...

Can I test it somehow to see whether I need to rebatch or not.

Oils didn't melt it stayed a thick trace consistency. I did double boil for 2 mind just stayed thick.

I did this because I wanted to use it as dish and laundry soap. It was just a small test batch. 180 grams of oil. Just rendered tallow from the roast lamb.

Okay but my lye mixture was cool before I mixed it. Seems okay it's gelling so it should be fine. Heating up in the box.

Any supplier in Sydney?

Hi I made Coconut and rendered lamb tallow at 0% superfat. I forgot to melt the oils when I mixed the lye water and fats. Will that be a problem? It was always in trace I then added sugar. I blended very well. Will I have to rebatch? I am insulating it to gel it.

So most people doing this as a hobby business? I'll be happy to sell a few bars of soap to cover costs. Since this obsession started I have spent more money making soap than I ever bought.

Where can I get KOH in Sydney or supplier that ships to Sydney. , AU.

You can hot process it and see what you get I have had soap separate just stick blended it more until gel consistency.

I prefer gelled soap, it feels more like soap is done.

Just the soap in water. I made my bar soap for laundry into a Liquid soap. 3 parts water and 1 part soap melted and it seems to be cleaning dishes very well. I tested it again after a few days on clothes and it seems to be cleaning clothes fine now.
