You know there is no way back when you run your biscuit recipes through a
lye calculator…

Balanced fatty acid profile, maxing out savoury pumpkin seed oil while still meeting the 15% PUFA criterion … but then choosing a tin that is too small … one has to set priorities!
Now I can't close the lid. Any ideas/suggestions?
Not so sure if it is indeed
wisdom that is speaking from my deeds, or rather my exceptional stubbornness, or hopeless romanticism? Idk, in the end, I'm biased, and not the one to make the terminal diagnosis.
I'm constantly trying to upset you, but you won't let me
. A last attempt: You are too lazy to type “Resolvable”, so you'd like to call me “Wise” instead. Maybe that is wise
from you?
(On the other hand, I'm sure you know about the @-name-completion of SMF)
I'm actually not so much a nickname person (neither in real life), so I'm not overly used to/comfortable with that type of “fame”.

actual topic in your thread over there)
Anyway, back to topic. I once again abused false trace, this time to (hopefully) give high-lauric (80% PKO) soap dough a try:

Melted up oils to clarity and let cool just until onset of turbidity. Added lukewarm lye (7% SF), and stirred for a few minutes in a cold water bath until the “emulsion” became “stable” (false trace). It has such a luxurious salve-like texture to it! But nothing to spread on bare skin!
Following
“official” wisdom from
@SoapWitch , I try my best to prevent gel (small pot, water bath) while it'll have plenty of time to react through, for at least a week. I'll need it then for some special application (or in case it fails/doesn't work out/become pliable soap dough, some less fancy end use).
