That's good to know because I just found one and it's hearts. I paid about .25 for it at the thrift store. I didn't know you didn't have to grease it.

CONGRATS! What is the key looking thing for?

Yeah you could cut the board that is the lid a little shorter and little more narrow so it will fit down inside the mold so you could mash the soap with it. With the mold like dagmar is showing.

thank you Bodybya

Chris, how can you superfat at 15%? The calc. only goes to 10%. At 10% calc. says 8.12 oz, so 5 more % would be 8.57 oz. so would it be 16.69 oz. for the lye? Am I figuring that right?

yeah they ARE very pretty aren't they! Good job! Is that one of those down spouts you used for the mold? I saw some where that you could use those for molds. Thank you Castor for that tip! I made my second batch I believe it was with ground up oatmeal and man it IS scratchy. When I first start...

OK thank you Redroof! My husband has some stainless wire on a roll he said but it's not as small as guitar strings are.

Oh that looks nice!

Hi Jerry, I found 1 oz. tubes of cocoa butter at Walgreen drug store. It's like 1.35 a tube and is about as big around as a quarter I guess.

I'm still a newbie myself but do understand now why they all tell us to start out with a small batch with less oils. Once you get the feel of it and know what to expect about the tracing and the consistancy etc. you can go with more fun stuff. :)

My sister just told me her step daughter has a guitar so she's going to check and see if she has a broken or messed up one. From what I am understanding you just hook the guitar string, one end to the small board and the other end to the side board on the cutter and you pull tight on the string...

I can't remember IF it was on here or another forum but someone posted a pic of their soap cutter that I loved! It was sooo nice. I made me one today and now all I need is a quitar string to hook to it and the little board you hold to cut it with. My husband held it in place when I got to the...

Oh yummy I love the smell of lemongrass to! AND mints and citrus. They look awesome and I to love the green!

Thank you Carebear. Oh I see, you have to know the amount of water that has already gone into the soap and the oils as well. hmmmmmmm so I see WHY everyone hates to rebatch because it's soooo if-e. lol I'll just have to experment a little with a little of the soap. ;)

Thank you Jerry. Yeah when I saw I was getting no responce here I went to another forum to see if I could get help with this there. :) I have read about rebatching but am not finding anything on how much you can add to say a pound batch or 2 lb. batch or whatever. I weighted my shredded soap...

I have just finished grating my soap that's several weeks old. I want to rebatch it so I can put some good oils in it to make a really nice soap that will help my very dry skin. I only had like 6 nice bars of plain soap that was cured to use for this batch. Haven't weighed it yet but am...

I was reading in the Soapmakers Companion earlier this evening and it seems the PH in the soap from what I am understanding, makes it have different colors. I was reading in the natural coloring soaps area about the alkanet root and it said that it colors an acid vegetable oil with a PH of 6...

very pretty! Can't wait to see the cut pix of this one!

Thank you for sharing!

LOL Thank you April, yeah it's hard to think of anything else. I can see my daughters eyes glaze over when I talk soap. I think she is sick of hearing it. ;) And everything I see I think, oh that would make a NEAT mold! I am saving my yogurt containers now. I bought some of the Dannon lights...
