I have used crisco, soybean oil, and vegetable shortening. All 3 have worked fine. I think yours just got too hot. You never mentioned what fragrance you used, if you used one. I superfat between 6 & 8 for my regular bars.

Ikea ships, doesnt it? Have you looked at prices?

I never line my pvc molds. I normaly wait 3 or 4 days and push it out. No problems cutting.

Didn't get enough people to join the second round of what?

The spreadsheet will not load for me. *edit: nevermind. Apparently my nook does not like google docs, but my phone opens it just fine

I think it would be worth looking into getting a visa/mc or amex gift card that you can load/reload. The savings of buying at a good supplier are worth it. And you don't need a bank for gift cards... and can find several options at most grocery stores/walmart

no worries on the hijack. it's all educational to me.

thanks again for the suggestions, I appreciate it. at least now I have a specific direction to look into. As far as her health and diet... as I mentioned, she's been under the care of her doctor and dermatologist for over 20 years, so I can imagine they have looked into most causes in that area.

thanks, I was thinking olive oil myself, and glad you guys agree. She has had a dermatologist for about 20 years, and has tried just about everything. It will be ok for a couple of days, to a weak, then most things start burning her face. I guess I should have said a soap less drying...
