Yeah I will be doing the challenge but not the swap. I don't like sending out uncured soap. I know the recipients are soapmaker, I also would like to see how the first swap works out.

I have thought many times about grabbing one of those, they are always in second hand stores. I haven't bought one because the crock is not removable. I just keep thinking they are impractical.

They also have a pretty good regular price on citric acid. I tried to get some ca from them it said in stock and when I went to put it in the cart it said not available. I was hoping i could grab a bunch while it was 50% off but no such luck.

I will say one thing about false trace. I have had false trace but it didn't last long at all. I was soaping too cool and poured cold lye solution in and blended it immediately into thick trace. Then it heated up and loosened up. I think that is maybe false trace? Ok more than one thing sorry.

I would like to play along too, I am going to have to write myself a reminder so I don't forget.

Wow. That is lame. I wasn't expecting much from them but 10% off gift certificates for cyber monday. I was hoping a good sale might make me like them again.

I really dislike the shape of the square. The rectangle and oval feel much nicer in the hands. I feel the square is awkward to hold without cutting.

They won't change anything until after 9am pst. I hope it is a decent sale not just their usual monthly sale I have been waiting for.

I don't do alot of mp but I think adding extra oil will suppress lather. I could be completely wrong here.

Thanks for the heads up. I have never tried it. I just happened to stumble across it on YouTube. Very good to know.

Maybe cyber Monday will have some good sales.

I do routinely clean my hardwood floors (all surfaces really) with a very dilute lye solution. I mean like a tablespoon per bucket of water. It is really amazing for cleaning. I do all my house cleaning with lye, vinegar, borax, rubbing alcohol, baking soda and washing soda. Sometimes I use...

I thought I read here somewhere that someone uses all their scraps and makes transparent soap with it. They heat and mix in alcohol. I am sure I am missing steps, I tried to find the post and had no success.

I have never used jelly soap but i would think it would melt easily. I think the mp would have to be very cool. You could just try one to see for yourself.

That is awesome. I know what I want for Christmas. Actually I want it early for my Christmas candy making.
