earlene Thank you for the advice. I am probably too cheap for that if I can just do a little adjusting of current recipe as well as make much less and closer to use then when I first started and was super pumped on making soap. But do not think that I am not thankful for the advice. It may...

I have mine on a shelf in a fully submerged basement stacked apart in little open cardboard boxes with probably very little air flow. Not all in the same batch have it and it is only a couple of spots as of now and I am making an effort to use them first as they do not seem bad enough to really...

AliOop think I was using about 2.5 percent sodium citrate, either way about 7 grams for each 16 oz of oil. Thanks for the response to my question. Cheers gww

I usually use 20 percent coconut and 5 castor and sodium citrate. I have added some table sugar but am not sure if it adds much. Lately I am getting a few spots of dos. I have not made in a while but am curious if lowering the super fat from 5 to 2 might help this a bit? I am not sure it was...

The posted video is what I followed and it helped me. I use high lard mostly and add tallow (beef or deer) when I have it and have noticed no difference. One time I timed getting to pretty thick trace and with walking away and no stirring for part of the time and it took 11 minutes to trace...

Here in Mo they were cooking up emu meat and feeding it at the homeless shelters and it seemed to be received very well. Cheers gww

I uncovered one of mine cause I could see cracking in the middle and it was almost volcano-ing. I sorta smashed the crack and when it cooled it ended up just fine. Good luck gww

Misschief Hey, I resemble that remark. Cheers gww

vickyc Or the joker from batman. :) Cheers gww

TheGecko I am sure most are on it as I have distant relatives tell me things about my kids and grandkids that I don't know about but It has not effected my life adversely just not participating and I am not sure I want to know about every one I know more then my personal interactions with them...

Guess I am not missing anything as I have never been on face book or Instagram and such. Must not know what I am missing and all the drama. Cheers gww

The Gecko Great descriptions, don't blame you if you don't but from the descriptions, I would like to see the end result. Don't get me wrong, I always have plans to take pictures when I get into my bees but then decide it is too much work after I am in them. Cheers gww

catscankim My cousin just went to another state on a six week contract for $8000 per week. I don't know if it is part of the problem or part of the fix for this to happen. It would be nice if this might drive up the wages a bit for people who stay. I do remember my working life and...

I can not believe any one ever purposely left mo. Cheers gww

Tashabird Stupid sad face should have been a smile. Note to self, must pay better attention. Good for you. Cheers gww

I have did both with me just diluting it all the last time based on me reading a post from zany that he has kept them diluted for a year and not had issue. Diluting is the hardest part to me and only doing it once seemed easiest though only time will tell how I fare. I did only do about four...

I went to the lung doc day before yesterday and he told me the hospital was still full and 80% in there were unvaccinated and it was depressing to walk by all the rooms and see every one on a ventilator. Talked to the heart doc. last week and he was thinking the omicron might not give a strong...

How do you get these out of the mold? Your stuff is amazing. Cheers gww

I am new but all over the board so far on temps. I do rely on heat transfer a bit. Just make soap with no design or scenting. I put the lye in the oils when it is dissolved and clearing up and usually pretty hot. The oils are usually on the cold side but I have melted first a couple of...

I have been re-batching shavings but this looks much easier if I am not missing anything. Cheers gww
