Have you considered trying to make some yourself?

How difficult was it to cut? If it was really crumbly as you were cutting it, soft and inclined to go to pieces at the least pressure, that would be too soon. If it was really hard to cut, breaking apart from the pressure of trying to get your knife through it, that would be too late. Have you...

So the CP soap I made with the coconut pulp co2 smells just like the unscented salt bars I made do when I'm using them (already using the 'scrap' bar). Strong soap scent, but nothing even close to coconut. I used 2 ounces in a 1200g batch. Smelled good when I first added it, but started going...

I'm hoping for clear skies here. I'll try to get a picture.

Oh my. So, don't ever use the oven for hot processing soap, right. DH would be less than amused if I had to start disassembling the oven because I spilled soap all over it.

Spring? Autumn? OH! You mean those two weeks between too hot and too cold? I have to laugh at people around here. They start complaining about how "muggy" and "sticky" it is when the relative humid hits 20% or so.

You can get buckets in #2 or #5 plastic from Home Depot and Wal-Mart, if you only want a couple of them. I know my local Home Depot has them in sizes from about half a gallon all the way up to 5 gallons. If you want more, you might look at places like U-Line and restaurant and bakery supply...

Might make an interesting technique for a rimmed soap. Do a dribbly flat layer to set the loaf on, then do the top and sides so they meet up with the bottom.... hmmm.....

This is why I suggested Spring Queen, because it wouldn't matter too much if the color morphed even further than it had. That's a pretty purple, hope that color holds. I see the owl/cat, too, swooping around in the middle.

I have to disagree with part of what you seem to be saying here. Hives can be the presentation of a contact allergy, they're not JUST triggered by ingestion or injection. My sister in law is allergic to mesquite (bit of a bugger around here, in the desert, where you can barely swing a cat...

SRA- I love that stained glass look you got with your hearts! Beautiful soap.

Ahh, thought you meant the people, not your comments. Sorry. I don't use the app, so I don't have any suggestions or ideas, sorry again.

I can see this one. Lots of people only check the forum maybe once a day, too, and there are people all around the world.

As long as it's sodium hydroxide, then yes. I'm not aware of anything else commonly called caustic soda.

So here's the third attempt. Not thrilled with it. I used indigo infused oil for the main color. It's a very meh grey in person and getting even more so. The yellow and orange were very thin when I poured them, so didn't swirl all that well. I like the way they not quite mixed though, looks like...

Making another try at the hidden heart swirl (though it's not going to be ready in time to enter) using toilet paper tubes. Decided I'll try my indigo infused olive oil in the main part, and scent it with the coconut pulp co2 extract I got to try out. Got my oils measured out, now just need to...

I don't think it would all dissolve. You'd still be left with bits that were insoluble in the lye, no matter how little you used (unless you used zero, which kind of defeats the purpose).

Huh. I think I can kind of see them. But looks more like the stone guy (The Thing -really? That's the best the writers could come up with for a guy transformed into living stone??- ) from the Fantastic 4 than gargoyles to me.

Recycled paper cigar bands?

Shame on you, dixie! We do not lick the soap. :mrgreen: I second pics, please!
