Ya'll are killin me here.. I am new and for the most part do EVERYTHING you are saying you walked away from :sick:

Ok, so with a little help from the wisdom of the forum I believe I have a new recipe settled upon, unless less of course I get more guidance to the contrary :) 35% Palm 25% Olive 20% Neem 10% Hemp 5% Coconut 5% Castor Full water with 5% SF I make my soap in 2lb batches, poured into a wooden...

Thank you both for the input, I will drop the Co down as you have suggested and make up the difference between the Palm and Olive unless you feel it should go elsewhere? I will not get to soap this weekend as my schedule won't allow it but hope to have this done next weekend. I will post...

Looking to explore neem oil, from what I have found it seems to be either a love it or hate it kind of thing. I have to admit that some of the descriptive language found within this forum to describe neem is colorful to say the least, none the less it has peaked my interest. :mrgreen: The...

Yeah, that rocks!:)

Cut my first attempt at a gradient pour today.... not the look I was going for. :? On an unrelated note, is it wrong to be making gravy to go with dinner and think... yea that looks good, a nice medium trace. :think:

As Penelope Jane so eloquently put it... a column mold on a budget. Head mount for a base and 3 inch PVC for the body. Line it with freezer paper and pour away. When it's time to cut remove the body from the base and push the soap out. :)

Taking over the kitchen! After that everything has to be packed up and stowed away under the bed and in a closet :)

Hurtling toward Jackson Missippi with my wife and 3 of my sons on a road trip to watch my daughter perform in a Spring concert at collage tonight. Making good use of the brief moments of quiet time to formulate and perfect one the 3872 different things I think I can do next weekend with my WSP...

I am still new to soaping and while I enjoy it immensely I still get nervous when I get started. As such to make sure all goes well I lay EVERYTHING out in EXACTLY the order it will be needed, in that process I completely take over the kitchen. I soap on Sunday mornings and can now recognize the...

Thank you both for the input, here are the cut bars. When the noob panic subsides I have to say I am pretty happy with them. From all of the folks on this forum that sing the praises of the 80% lard bar I have high hopes and will remain calm with the next batch. Guess you learn a little with...

Hello and welcome!

Thanks for the input! I used a stick blender intermittently and stirred gently by hand in between sessions while I let the stick blender cool down. Not that I was running it so hard that I was afraid I would overheat it but I was worried that I was overdoing it with the blender. The FOs were...

What went wrong, if anything? I Made a batch of 80% lard soap this morning. 80% lard, 15% CO, 5% Castor, default SoapCalc settings so I that puts my recipe at a 5%SF and 38% water % of oils. I had 2 sample FOs from BB. The FOs are where I made one mistake I know. Using the BB Calc for the...

I hope it all settles in a positive light for you.

The sale is a bit of voodoo. I had the cart already filled when I caught this thread. All of the items in my cart changed price but for every item that went down something else went up. It was a wash for me, the end result was effectively the same price. Still appreciate the heads up though...

Looks awesome! I am hoping to try one this weekend, hope it turns out a nice as that!

Good deal! I already have what I want in my cart, it will be interesting to see if I can just update the current cart and see the discounts. :think:

I just signed up on their email list so I don't have the message you received, do you need a code or something from the email for this evenings sale?
