    Shea = longer cure time for bar?

    It was only in the fridge over night, and was pretty thick at set. It was hard when I removed it from the fringe, since then it's been sitting on the table exposed to air.

    Shea = longer cure time for bar?

    I tried some unrefined shea in my most recent bar, about 20%. The rest is castor 10% coconut 40% olive 30%. I cured them in the fridge to avoid gel, and now about 4 days later they're still zapping. Is it the shea? I've never had a bar go longer than 24-48 hours and still zap.

    Repost I'm sure, sorry, I searched a bit.

    Tried it. It sucked. To the rest of you, thanks. I guess I'll just have to have a brownish vanilla soap.

    I'm sorry, I wasn't aware this forum was a collective 'we.' I thought there were more than one or two people whose opinions and knowledge I'd like to have. And I don't recall disagreeing with you once in the other thread. I simply asked questions.

    Repost I'm sure, sorry, I searched a bit.

    And there's no natural or hell even synthetic way to turn it back white?

    there's NO way to get a white vanilla soap? Brambleberry sells a scent they claim doesn't discolor?

    Repost I'm sure, sorry, I searched a bit.

    I'm making a vanilla soap and my scent colors the bar but I love the scent. I'm using coconut/olive/castor and I'm trying to get a white bar, amazingly white, colored naturally. I don't know if TD is considered a 'natural' colorant? What is my next option for a real nice white bar?

    How do you get this look?

    http://photos.demandstudios.com/getty/a ... 766_XS.jpg I neeeed to know how to get that sorta milky look. It doesn't look like hand swirled soap to me.

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    so I got some M&P from Michael's. Transluscent and white. I melted 8 chunks of transluscent and 6 of white. I poured the transluscent into the mold first then I did some of the white and so on, and I didn't get much of a milky swirl, and for some reason the white all ended up at the bottom...

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    every replica bar I find just says Fight Club on it and it's pink =\ I guess it's just swirled pink and white glycerin soap.

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    They made actual bars for the movie and sold them as promos for the movie. Even if it is resin, that pink bar look is achievable is it not? This is similar without the heavy white swirls: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4 ... SS500_.jpg

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    Could it also be transparent soap cooked and dyed? Ie. cold process soap with alcohol/glycerin/sugar?

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    I'm trying to recreate the look. I love the semi-transluscent look with the streaks in it, but it doesn't look to me like two separate batches swirled together. I mean I could be wrong, but it seems like either the dye isn't fully mixed, or something like that. I've been making regular lye cold...

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    I've only had experience with lye soap, so probably a melt and pour transparent and an opaque, the transparent dyed pink? Like is this melt and pour? http://www.amazon.com/Handmade-Jumbo-Ro ... B0040HE4II

    And the white swirls or whatever you call them?

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    Understandable. Now, having said that, how do you think someone (who made the actual prop soap) made the pink soap?

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    He says in the movie they render fat (human fat which is the gross premise of the joke) and then skim off a layer of glycerin. He then talks about lye. Now M&P glycerin soaps don't use lye correct? Or is this some kind of glycerin + lye soap with imperfections? This bar has a similar look...

    Can someone answer this question from Fight Club?

    The infamous pink soap has yet to be replicated, as what I see is simply soap dyed pink. On this shot from Tyler's briefcase it says Rose Aloe Glycerin Soap. http://uploader.ws/upload/201111/fight_soap.jpg It also has swirls or chunks of white in it. What process do you think achieved...
