I've been wanting to try this since reading Auntie Claras post. Well...I'm in, but once again can't copy and paste. Can someone add me to the list? please? #23?
If you don't have a light box setup, you can get good results with three sources of light -- or even one source of light and 1 or 2 reflectors. The photo is how I usually do things.

With coop, you are introducing heat from the outside in so for mine, gelling starts along the edges and moves inward. It's possible that by the time the mass of the center starts gelling, it can overheat a touch. Coop is tricky for me so others may not have this issue. Pretty soap!
Currently waiting for my low-water batch to reach trace. Hooo boy, this challenge is not for sissies. I checked my math like 80 times before starting and still managed a measuring mistake. Luckily I caught it before it went in the pot ("hhhmmm, that looks like a lot more than 3 ounces of lye....")
Here goes!
I want so bad to try this challenge but I am in the middle of packing to move next week and I'm out of a lot of soap oils, with no cash for more til next month. Grrrr!
I won't be trying it yet either, Gigi, as much as I'd like to; there's just too much on my plate right now. I hope your move goes well and that it's a move up.
