You can do it
It seems like HP is more complicated than CP to me.
I should do that because it needs to gel? Or doesn't need gel? Or just starts with "g" like gel

Wow the hardest first! I have never done HP or liquid...Im scared of them!Im sure its because I learned HP First in Bar soap. I kind of did things backwards and my first ever soap was HP Liquid soap.
Everyone who doesn’t wear eye protection should realize that accidents DO happen and you only get one set/pair of eyes! I live in South Florida and don’t wear long sleeves or long pants. But I ALWAYS wear eye protection and gloves. It’s better for new soapers to start out right.Count me in as one of the glove-and-goggle-free soapers! And there is usually a dog or two milling around, as well. I always try to be in a 'present' frame of mind though and measure, mix and tread carefully! ;-)
Me too! This is addicting. Not sure what to do when they all finish curing.I think I'm addicted to making soap. I've made two batches yesterday. One batch today and already planning a batch for tomorrow and the next day.
I now have a lot of soap... And no clue what to do with it!!
I kinda wish my eyes were a little better but it's the only one I've got (I'm technically blind in one eye) so I do look after them, especially after the lecture I received from one of my optometrists.This is the most entertaining thread I've read so far! All of you guys are awesome. So glad to be apart of this. Most important thing I'm taking away as a noob... SAFETY FIRST! I like my eyes, my skin, and my pets the way they are!!!

With all the different recipes and techniques to try, it’s hard to stop. Now that I know I can make nice, safe soap, I pack it up and give it to family and close friends who give me feedback on the recipes, scents, designs, etc. I don’t give out any soap without labeling it and that takes a bit of work. I’ve thought about donating soap to the local women’s shelter, but I want to give it another few months so I can get reasonably confident that my soaps are not prone to DOS. I want the experience of using my soap to be a reason someone would then buy soap from a seller at a market or shop, not a reason they would avoid handmade soap!Me too! This is addicting.

I had a friend who actually cut herself on an unbeveled soap ...mine, of course..I hate trying to use unbeveled soaps and will continue beveling every soap I package for sale. A Beveled soap is much easier to hold on to, but then my soaps are a bit large and chunky from my hdpe molds.
My dad’s first comment to me about the soap I sent him was about how much he liked it . His second comment was about how sharp the edges were. Ouch!I had a friend who actually cut herself on an unbeveled soap ...mine, of course..
