Dish soap??

Would you color it?

Nope. But that's just me. Practical. One color for all the different shades of those ramekins - white. Maybe even use a little White Kaolin Clay -- good for cleaning and brightens the soap.

Hard to tell how much soap those ramekins hold. I make 4 oz shave soap pucks using a Pringles can for a mold. Avoid filling all the way to the top, for easier release. I get 4 pucks to a can.

Hate to keep beating a dead horse here. So she wants refills. I made my test batches in 1 cup glass prep cups and they popped out pretty easy with a little mark from prying a knife down the side. Not cpop like I normally do, just left them on the counter uncovered to soaponify. Unfortunately the prep cups don't fit in the ramekins.

I tried cutting wax paper to fit...but that hurt my head after a while and waaaay too time consuming.

So maybe a little Pam or vaseline? Would that work? I know I have read that somewhere here before.

Such an easy little project now that I have the recipe I want. Will literally take me less than an hour...except the refills.

Vaseline works great and so does mineral oil. Are you sure you don't want to make a cheap PVC pipe mold? You could make a bunch at one time. Just be sure to cut them within an hour or two or they will be like stone columns.

Would silicone individual round cavity molds work?

You are so smart! Of course you don't need castor oil at all, nor lime juice and CA together - the CA is more than sufficient. Do you have any lemon EO, or even better d-limonene? They will add that nice lemony smell, and also add some extra grease cutting power.

Anyone know how much d-limonene ppo to use?

Anyone know how much d-limonene ppo to use?

I use 1% of the total oil weight.

Thanks! I am looking forward to trying this!

I've made this Humblebee & Me version and I love it! I have a plastic tub of it at my kitchen sink at all times. It makes short work of greasy dishes.

I too love this dish paste very much, and my daughter took a big container of it back to Australia with her. Best ever!
