Dont throw it out---Do what Soapbuddy said, recalculate and then possibly do a rebatch. It might just be saveable!

You found a great deal on those wood molds!!

I'm all about the cheap--except with the soap ingredients!

Wow!! Very cool!!

That blue is really beautiful and the others look great too!!

I had an overheat problem this week with a tried and true goatsmilk recipe. I was also using a new FO. I sat it down in the floor in front of the AC vent (my air was on and the house was pretty cool- 72 degrees or less-the floor was cooler) and withing 5 minutes I had full blown gel to the...

I have 'stamped' soap with a key chain thing--not sure what the term is. I found a key chain at walmart, cut the ring off it ,pressed it into the top of the soap, and carefully lifted it up. Ta Da--super cheap 'soap stamp'. Here is a picture:

My Aunt lined a small drawer with freezer paper and made soap in it once. It worked out great. I think it was a small drawer out of an old chest she had in the garage and it wasn't being used.

The stuff from walmart is over 5 bucks for 31.5 oz--

I find coconut oil at my local walmart. It's sold right along with the olive oils, canola oils, lard, crisco and such. It's Louana brand. If you live close to a wal-mart it might be worth a shot to look. It looks like this:

Did you gel them? Possibly they just need a little more time, I would wait a day and then check. Hopefully they will work out.

My salt bar was mostly coconut oil, olive oil and castor oil. I used fine sea salt at about 70%. I added the fragrance before I added the salt, it gets thick fast once you add the salt. I also superfatted to 20%--I usually superfat at 7% for my normal soap. It hardens very fast and I used...

Beautiful soaps and I wish I could smell them! You actually use lemon juice as part of the liquid?

Nice looking soaps! I'm loving the updates so keep them coming. I love the smell of Yuzu and use it often in soap.

I use a heating pad set on low to insure a full gel. I cover the soap mold with a piece of cardboard and then a towel to hold in the heat. I do peek at it every hour or so when it starts to gel so it doesn't overheat, and i can move the heating pad around if a place doesn't look like it's gelling.

I'm so sorry to hear about your pet. They really do become part of the family. I'm sure he felt loved.

I've used the Roebics from Lowes--it's rather pricey. It is 100% sodium hydroxide--I've even pulled up the MSDS sheet. It works very nicely. Please ALWAYS pull up the MSDS about a product in question--Drain cleaners are not always equal--many of them contain all sorts of awful things that may...

I didn't know they made such a thing! Please keep us posted on how it works!

They all look so nice! I love the dark colored swirls!

Great looking soap! Beer soap does have nice bubbles!
