No, I really want to though. We have a mechanic friend and neighbour and I'd really like to make him some... No kerosene for sale in smaller amounts around here. I don't want to buy and store a drum :?

Man, I wish I was going to be home this weekend. I really want to try this now. Maybe I can talk my mother in law into letting me lug all my soap stuff with me the 4 hours to her house and then making soap with me. XD

Hi everyone, so glad to have found this site Loving it so far!!!
I have a question, I've been soaping for around 10 years, but was wondering if I was to do a 100% Coconut Oil soap, would it be socially acceptable to my customers instead of using the Palm oil, and would the soap be hard enough for the stain sticks ?
I've not made a 100% hard CO bar before, but have made it for laundry soap or gloop as we call it. It cleans well, but sometimes leaves the clothes a little "grey" even when I add Borax.
ETA: Instead of the Kerosene would Eucalyptus Oil be a viable substitute? I have plenty of that hanging around but no Kerosene.
TIA!
Cheers,
Shadowdancer

Hiya Shadowdancer, I only just saw you here. Do you want me to send you a 100% coconut oil soap to try, so you can see how hard it is? I made the last batch on the 10th April. I'm still loving the Body Masque that you sent me.
