Ive super-fatted at 25% with my Coconut oil only soap. but like lsg said unless your HP and add the castor oil after the rest of the oils have fully saponified then the lye is going to treat the castor oil just like the rest of the oils and saponify it as well. I dont know about DOS, ive only...

my bars are 2.5x3.5x1.25 and are 4 oz after complete water evaporation (4.5 if i do a water discount)

I really enjoy animal fat soaps. They just always come out better. But people always cringe at the thought of using animal fat soaps and I think its because lard has been stomped on so much in the past but it really isn't that bad for you and its great for your skin I stomped out my moms...

That really is odd I've never had that happen before.

I would just leave it for another 6 weeks and see if it hardens up. i made soaping 101s "bastile" recipe (last time i try out another soapers recipe im not a fan of the result) its still soft. dont get me wrong it still works but still soft.( its been 8 weeks). if you mis-measured your water it...

Thank you every one! I'm still so happy these turned out :) Kazmi: I did the pencil line with cocoa powder

What pami said. Maybe if you leave it alone for another month it might help. But I always try to stay under 10% when it comes to castor. It can also make the bar really soft and sticky .

Im so happy to have my mojo back and i can make beautiful soaps again :) I think i finally have this layering thing down to! I made this with some shea butter and its scented with lavender and tea tree oil. I kinda...droped the loaf upside down(i was a little impatient) so im gonna need to do...

I've been thinking about investing some money into a slab mold as well. I just need to come up with some measurements and I should be good. But a lot of my soaps have to be done in a loaf mold to get the design. So ive been pretty upset that all my attempts to re-stock turned into failed batches.

I buy mine from the health foods store and they keep them in the fridge isle. they have a shelf life of 2-5 years if you store them properly. (in the fridge or freezer in an air tight container) i think your safe if you buy them and stick them in the freezer as soon as you get home. (but check...

i lowered the temp in my house from 73 to 68 3 hours before i started soaping.:)

MY MOJO IS BACK! Im sooooo happy. I was finally able to make a milk soap that didn't partial gel, over heat or anything its perfect :) *dances*

Make sure to keep your poppy seeds in the fridge so that they stay fresher longer. I haven't done a pencil line with the seeds but I do love them in my soaps.

I haven't had a farm fresh egg in years. Now I just buy range free eggs from the health foods store. With are still better for you than a lot of store bought. I'm still looking for some pasture eggs. Till then I'm out of luck, my moms boyfriend got rid of his chickens and I can't find any...

How many bars?- 16 How many batches? 2 No scents. Still have to make a coffee infusion. Coffee and titanium dioxide for colorants

The ones I bought are basically one long continuous strip. Theryre likely a 2 feet long just wrapped up so I have to cut off a small piece before I use it I mainly bought them so I don't have to lick non-gelled soaps anymore.

Were were you keeping your soaps?? If you put them in the sun or in a hot room they can morf (more than 75 degrees)...other then that i dont have a clue

how does every one package their soaps? I know that theres the cigar bands and the shrink wrap but what has worked best for you?
