Sounds dangerous to me. Bet you just wanted to stand up and correct her huh?
Yup and what was kinda annoying before the meeting but again stopped myself was someone wrote on my soaping page that it might be of interest to me to hear about it from someone with experience
i dont think he realises how much iv learnt from trial and error would take a guess i know more about soap than she does and i would never ever dream of suggesting soap doesnt need any cure.
She stated she does it as a hobby which is fine and she is very knowledgable about beekeeping and is actually a master beekeeper so im not doubting her knowledge in that area but to say stuff like that is scary and this is why i didnt say anything because i dont sell i would think my 'opinion' would be seen as just that an opinion not a fact based on my knowledge. Im not pretending to know all but iv spent over 6 months experimenting so iv got a fair idea what im doing but also i know iv alot left to learn.
She didnt even mention a lye calc she said she uses a site that gives how much lye you need for each oil used which to me sounds like a very long winded way to go plus how would you put a sf with that method should you want one? Also said she was going to do a class on shampoo bars, doesnt seem like she is really one to go out and experiment and takes everything as its just going to be perfect first go just because shes been on a course and knows a chemist
Iv learnt among lots of other stuff, from trying and reading and asking questions, not everything works for everyone the % of coconut oil for example is not a universal thing
I got asked in a smaller group if i learnt anything because some know what sort of things i make i just said no there was pretty much nothing new in that for me to learn anything but it was interesting kinda had to add that not because i wanted or meant it, iv read into and researched everything she makes just havnt ventured into making some of them yet as id prefer to go one step at a time.
I made this one last night and I'm itching to get the silicone mat off and cut it, but after lifting the corner I can see it's not quite set up enough yet. Patience...(not my forte)

As
@Dawni will agree with nor am i. We had a discussion about the fact she had left a soap to cure for nearly 3 months and hadnt been tempted to use it. I often struggle to wait a week before i test my soap. 3 months is like an eternity to me
Made a new layered cold process soap called Smoky Bay. I think it really turned out well and I used a scent called Sandlewood.
