Bump your bubbles ~ By adding 1/4 cp coconut oil per lb of mp. You can add 1/4 cp of any liquid to mp without screwing up the lather but don't go over.

Outragous I hate it when I see what these places charge for raw mats. Phone your local Bakery Supply houses. You can get all your basic oils there for about a dollar a lb and save on freighting big containers across the country. Palm, Palm Kernal, Coconut (they usually have several kinds)...

THAT.....!!!!! Is really funny...thanx for the first smile of the day :D

Gramma Judy not all my soaps are that method, I like everyone else here started making soap the conventional way and waited for the bar to cure hard. I have customers for both. My customers also get to try their soap in the store before they buy it. We have testing stations set up for them...

The zodiac bars are cp, they came out a really pretty pink. I use mica only for colorant for everything even my bombs. It costs a bit more but its so user friendly. Tuff to get a true red or a blue that is stable though. Thanx again for your comments. I load some of the shower jelly pics...

Deda, I don't feel threatened I'm happy to answer any of your questions, I am wondering why you don't answer any of my mine. You are the one who is challenging my method of testing my levels, and I have asked you twice which method is better and still no reply. So how do you test your soap...

thanx.... I hope I can send some pics too. Sygrid

Alright ladies, what is it that you want from me. I was just sharing a process. While you are all busy bashing my process and calling me a liar I am actually successfully making soap for a living, something I know many of you would love to be doing. I told...

first pics of salt bars Here they are. The two white and both fuschia are salt bars. I won't give up till I get it right...back to the scales

You're right.. Any cp soap will reach those temps on their own, but not as fast. This method shoots the temps within maybe 10 mins. Depending on the recipe the soap is completely ready for use by the next morning. The variable is water content for the most part. Some recipes especially CTCP...

Saponification and Curing Saponification is a definite. Cured has latitude, and I know the difference. I didnt' think I had to come here to defend and you are being rude and you know it. I'm sorry I joined. Sygrid

24 hr cure CP Hi Everyone, Just in case some of you might be thinking I'm a crazed, irresponsible soapmaker, I am a former SVP Marketing & R&D for a prestige cosmetic company with 25 yrs of cp soapmaking behind me. I currently and for 14 yrs I have owned a Heritage style soap factory and...

Quick cure Process I had responded in detail and then got called away as I was writing and was 'timed out' . When I went to send it was lost. I will be back this afternoon and explain the process in detail. Pilot error....didn't know that could happen. Sorry for the delay Sygrid

From what I have read here you want lye/water at room temp to keep the salt from dissolving. Does the high content of salt in the recipe affect the cure time? Less cure time would be a really good answer. I do make floating cp at room temp but cure time is a killer. I will admit to being...

ps: the recipe I gave you is for a 2lb batch of cp not hp. With a quickened cure why bother with HP. Hope you like it, let me know how you make out.

Can't fail overnight cure recipe :) Hi...here's pretty much a can't fail easy recipe that I teach in my classes: (Deleted by admin. SMF management has determined this recipe/process to be hazardous.) Take out and ta da! Soap will be cured by the next day. Test with Phenol so that you...

Soap that accelerates very quickly or even 'seized' batches can be saved, don't throw them out. If you are using an 'untried' FO keep a pot on the stove at the 'ready' in case it seizes your batch. Just HP it. It doesn't behave exactly like a regular HP batch, it's much quicker to go to...
