I couldn t take it had to make some soap

jennikate · Jan 12, 2010

Hi all well I have been really busy (running like chicken with head cut off) but tonight before my work shift started I had to make some soap. The good news is I work at home so I could pour into mold with 3 mins to spare before work. Its a bit of an experiment because 1st batch no castor oil just want to see how it does. Oatmeal and honey added. Tallow OO and a little crisco. Used a frenchfried onion can lined w freezer paper for mold. I felt the need for round soap last several batches have been rectangular bars. So we shall see how it goes later today.

Good for you. I haven't made any soap for a week or so now. :wink:

did you ever use pringles cans they make the perfect size, I am always eyeing up new molds in things around my house, it's hard to get rid of the soapbug it just gets bigger..

I've only made one batch of soap, and I used a Pringles can. I didn't insulate the can, though, so my soap has rings. They seem to be fading a little...
I like the size and shape, definitely!

Pringles cans are great for soap, as are milk cartons, Just tear em off and throw them out.
Cheap and available!!
I haven't soaped since just before Christmas. It's school holidays here and I just haven't had the chance to get to it. I've done lots of inventory and packaging/labelling, but no actual soaping.
Starting to get the shakes actually.
In the whole time that I've been soaping (nearly 2 years) I have never had a break of more than one week inbetween batches.

i had a break from soaping for 2 months because of a new job; the 2 months was even more significant because i had only been soaping for not quite 2 months before that. i resumed a few days after christmas and have made 8 batches since - i am making up for lost time, and i want to be ready for any gifts i have to get ready ...that sort of thing...sniff....i'm going to shelve it all tomorrow - back to work, and this month is going to be a killer for me.
