This is my second time making salt bar soap. It is 80% coconut oil, 10 olive, 5 palm, 5 castor. 100% salt (part sea salt part pink salt) made it 24 hours ago. It is still soft. It is sweating liquid that appears to be high in lye based off of ph strips. I have heard that salt can slow...

I made a red and white one but the red completely faded out. :(

How can I tell if I have bad lye? I ask because I made soap 24 hours ago and it is still super soft

I want to say that as the soap is curing, the embeds are sticking out like getting squished

I I cut it too soon. I also need to add a straw to my hanger. Colored with green tea and alkanet and zinc oxide.

Did my second attempt last night! can't wait to cut!

That looks so cool!!

Lol sorry. My mold is a rectangle and it did it going from one short end to the other instead of the long end to kind end if that makes sense.

So I watched the above video and tried the challenge last night and today I watched Petra's video and she does the hanger differently than I thought because you used a square mold. Just wanted to say in case any newbies don't know. http://youtu.be/4eWFQiOSRkU

My recipe was 30% coconut 30% lard 30% olive oil 10% castor oil. Looks like I need to make some adjustments!! Thanks! .

In jealous! Mine thickened up too quick! What did you use?

I do have caster oil in it. I think 10% I cooked everything down to about room temp. I didn't add the color or EO until the end. It was a mix of oxides, mica, and pigments. Diluted in oil. Water as % of oils (soapcal) was 38% is that what I up?

Dear my wise and patient soaping friends, I decided that I would try the soap challenge last night, and the issue I ran into was my soaps got too thick too fast. I didn't add my EO until the last minute before I poured. Could it be I just used too many colors and took too long?
