I'm not upset about it. The only reason I care is because I don't have much clear MP. If I try again, I learned something from the first attempt.I'm so sorry your first try didn't work out the way you wanted @dibbles!
I saw that Grace adds salt to her CP in hybrid soaps to make it a bit more dense. Maybe that could also help?

Agreed. It's breathtakingly lovely.Holy smokes, @Mobjack Bay. Your entry is so amazing!
This just got me thinking, is this to reduce the shrinkage difference between the MP and CP soap?Relative to the comment above about using salt, I did not add salt to my cp soap, but I did use 40% lye concentration. Since I haven’t tried this technique before, I don’t know if it made a difference.
So sorry to hear that things are so rough for you right now. Glad you were able to make some soap and hopefully have a few moments of distraction and fun in the midst of all that. And I can't wait to see your soap!Made my entry soap today. Barely worked up the motivation or creativity to do it. Work has been extremely stressful, two people very dear to me passed, one of my furry babies has been very sick, still adjusting emotionally to my nest being empty of my daughter’s sparkle, I’m studying for a certification exam that feels like a part-time job, and both of my parents got COVID. Writing all of that out just now felt pretty awful to be honest.
But I made my soap. It’s not the soap i initially intended to make but oh well. I’ll cut and post tomorrow.
I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. Any one of those things at a time would be plenty to deal with - happening all at once, I admire your strength. I truly hope your burden eases soon.Made my entry soap today. Barely worked up the motivation or creativity to do it.
