Hello - I've went through some of the posts and wasn't able to find an answer to this question. I think if I spend more time searching it out, I may, but I wanted to make this soap today and I'm in a 'crunch'. I wanted to start adding coconut milk to my soaps, but can't seem to find HOW. I...

I got it to a medium trace. I was afraid to get it to a THICK trace, as my experience has been, with other non castile recipe's, it 'expands' in the mold.

Good Morning Soapers Maybe someone can give me some help/advise. I have been wanting to make a castile soap (100% olive oil - no other oils) and I worried that it may be a soft soap and wondered how it would harden since olive oil is liquid, but alas, I tried it. Here is my...

HDPE Molds I've done a few batches of soap in MrDoRights 'No Liner' Soap Molds, since my first FIASCO. I ended up cutting out the first batch and was able to actually save most of the soap, but now, I line the molds. I really like the shape of the soap (they are more oblong and not squared)...

If it is oil based, does that mean you HAVE to mix in oil and not water? Most of them are water based, so I HAVE to mix them in water, (like you did in the little cups), before hand?

Good Morning I just purchased Matte Pigment Powder and I want to use it in my CP soap. (Its a sample kit with about 12 different colors). I noticed that one of them, the White, has an Oil Based one and a Water Based. That confused me a little. How should I prepare these to mix into my CP...

End Result.... Well, I got the soap out of the molds about 5 days after I poured it. I used my soap cutter and slid it in between the mold and the soap at each side and didn't cause TOO MUCH damage. Still, this isn't soap that I would consider selling, so it will more than likely be gifted...

Newbie From Michigan Hi Everyone :wave: I'm fairly new to making soaps (less than 5 years) and it's something I have grown to love. I soak up any information I can on recipes, techniques, equipment,etc. The Forum is a great place for info and everyone is really friendly/nice. Happy...

I've heard of greasing them up with Petroleum Jelly or other oils, does that really make it not NON STICK?

Yes, it is Mr. Do Right and I read everything front and back and it only says to use the slip if wanting/needing the soap out within 6-12 hour (Removal). [when watching the video it doesn't use anything on the ends, so that is confusing as well).

Yes it is a larger batch than normal, but I double checked my quantities (even used soapcalc). I think I will freeze it up tonight to see how that works. Thanks everyone for the feedback :)

The best way to describe it, is TACKY!! I slid my cutter between the mold and the soap once we managed to get a little bit of the mold pulled away from the soap and you could hear a little suction sound when it was being pulled away. My cutter came away with a really tacky, gluey like feeling...

Good Morning I did a little bit of searching and didn't find a thread that was already started about this topic, so I hope I didn't miss it, but I have to find out a little bit of information. I have only been actually MAKING soap for the past 2-3 months. In fact, I read a TON about it...
