I wanna see the ugly dough!
It’s hideous. But exactly what I wanted.

Poop-vomit! Can’t wait to see how you incorporate it into your soap creation!It’s hideous. But exactly what I wanted.
If that's an "Oops", wow! on your next "Oops"!!Not what I planned first time using a FO, and first time experiencing acceleration. Had to scrap the detailed pull through and dump it into a loaf. Thank goodness I’m getting more comfortable, and my gear was well organized! Still it looks pretty!
I thought I liked the FO at first. But after a day and a half it smells like icky men’s cologne.
love my new cutter!!! I actually have straight lines for the first time!!!
I spread a thin bit of Vaseline inside and it slid out super easy! It was very wet though!! That weird blop on the top was me trying not to waste batter left in the bags in my squeeze bottles. Then I realized I could squeeze them in an individual mold, which I will have handy next time.It looks normal to me. The one thing I would suggest is to scrape down the insides of the pvc mold above the main soap. The extra soap on the sides can make it hard to unmold bc it stops the loaf from coming out.
That’s smart. Vaseline is mineral oil which does not saponify.I spread a thin bit of Vaseline inside and it slid out super easy! It was very wet though!!

I don't think that's a big deal. As long as you are weighing by grams and not ounces. Being off by one ounce is a lot = 28 grams. But being off by a couple of grams, no problem. I weigh my oils the same way. Some people put a bit of their major oils: Olive, Sunflower, Avocado, etc. in a squeeze bottle. Weigh out the majority of what you need and top it off with the squeeze bottle - easier to use without a mistake,Trying to save myself some dishes I poured/weighed all my liquid oils into the same container, taring each on the scale. Well, I went over by 1-5g on a couple oils. Can’t take them out because they’re blended. next time I’ll use a separate measuring cup! Can I just proceed as planned, knowing my SF will be a % higher? (Hope that’s ok to ask here, instead of starting a whole thread.)

Looks great!I actually waited until the lye and oils were 95 and it made a huge difference! I also, just barely blended it. I’m really learning the minimal emulsion necessary. I just had the best soaping session with a pull through, and I had so much time to work, it felt so luxurious! I can’t wait to cut tomorrow! Here’s the top any way.
No, the heat will just heat up the milk, not turn it into oil.okie dokie☺
today I attempted coconut milk shampoo bars but does anyone know if the heat from the gel phase will make coconut milk become oil?
But when you heat coconut milk, it becomes oil in my country, we grate coconuts, squeeze the milk and boil it until it separates and forms oil in the bottom and husk at the topNo, the heat will just heat up the milk, not turn it into oil.
If you are using coconut milk that you purchased here (in the US) as coconut milk , it will stay milk. Now, if you are making it yourself from coconuts, I don’t know but I doubt it.But when you heat coconut milk, it becomes oil in my country, we grate coconuts, squeeze the milk and boil it until it separates and forms oil in the bottom and husk at the top☺
are you 100% sure?
(Please don’t think I’m annoying I’m a newbie and I just got here an hour ago and I need some reassurance lol)
