Hello everyone!
I'm Jennifer from Quebec and am new to soaping. I made my first batch last weekend using the 200F for 2-3h oven method (seem to remember I saw a version of this method on here also).
I'd looked into making soap for the last 2 years but had not found the lye locally. I finally found a canadian soap supplier while browsing for other stuff and decided to get into gear and order the lye and get started.
I'm a junior civil engineer by day and overall meticulous person so I'm loving all the soap research I'm doing so that I can make soap that will please me with hopefully as few bad batches along the way as possible.
My first soap worked out relatively well. I forgot that the oven at home heats 40F hotter than it should so I believe that's the reason I had a faire amount of rising from my soap. I'm already planning another batch very soon... after all, I must feed this new obsession!!
