Yeah, I did post a link to one like that. Might be an option depending on the size of the pour hole. Good point, would depend on how thick the batter got I guess. That mold doesn't really have much info on how it's used, ie. the size of the hole at the top, etc... I hadn't thought of fusing...

Wow, I had no idea olive oil had jumped this much, I haven't bought any since maybe October last year, when I could get it for 17 cents an oz at walmart and now walmart is 33 cents an oz.

Can someone help me with ideas for making a golf ball soap? I'd like it to be the exact size with dimples like a golf ball, but I've never done something like this. Do you get a silicone mold: https://www.amazon.com/Webake-Chocolate-Silicone-12-Cavity-Descorations/dp/B0C991NNFL and then...

Thank you for the replies! I'm just starting to learn about soap making. It's very interesting! I just unmolded my first 100% coconut oil bars to use in a powdered laundry soap soon.

I first tried soapcalc, but then was happy to find soapee.com because it let me save my recipes. I plugged in a recipe to both and got identical numbers. Woo hoo! But then I tried lyecalc.com which seemed to have an even better interface, but it gave me different numbers. So, trying to figure...
