    Soaping 101 liquid soapmaking video?

    Goodmorning, I was looking over the notes here and I had a thought. I was wondering if I should be adding PS20 or PS80 For any and all superfat extra oils I add to my finished Liquid Soap. I see here above in your comments to Chef that you do, but is that the general rule for most Liquid Soap...

    Shampoo Bar - Thanks Lindy!!

    Hi, I have spent most of my night reading this whole thread. I see many times the superfat amount is either 3% or 6% . Now, I might need some extra guidance on this, but I could of sworn that I read (like last year) That just about any soap bar could become a shampoo bar just by cutting down the...

    Zap test?

    Maybe I am the only one that does this, hold onto a question thinking it will get answered soon, but someday never happens. So, when soapers talk about how the soap gelled, or how it did not gell, I am left standing with my hand over my eyes and shaking my head back and forth. I feel stupid...

    If my tongue does not detect a zap, but I show pink on pheno drops, what do I trust?

    Ok, I like this answer the best! The tongue gets to be the final answer! You ladies are in the zone :clap: That said, if I do get zapped, and then I need to add borax to it, can I re-test the soap with my tongue? Not sure if Borax is edible, per say.

    If my tongue does not detect a zap, but I show pink on pheno drops, what do I trust?

    Well thank you for making things clear for me. With it being clear, I now feel confused about my process. So, it is wrong of me to place drops of pheno Liquid into my clarity test? Yes, come to think of it, I tend to get a pink drop everytime I do a clarity test regardless of how my tongue...

    If my tongue does not detect a zap, but I show pink on pheno drops, what do I trust?

    I made a batch of liquid soap yesterday. 65% olive, 25% coconut, 10% castor-I used the method of using glycerin mixed with KOH and cooked it over low heat until the liquid became clear. I added to my pre warmed oils and blended until I the start of bubbles floating around my hand and rose above...
