Good day to ye fellow Soapeans.
Actually i'm not allowed to say fellow, since i'm a complete failure with real soap making.
My first attempt spawned a nasty breed of potato.
It smelled even worse.
I found this soap tutorial online, from an astronaut.
I just replaced his oils for what I had, same weight, and made it as he did.
Didn't knew about things like soap calculators!
I had 500grms vegetable shortening (mixed with palm oil I think)
some olive oil, and a bit of castor oil, because it speeds up the trace stage I think he said.
Anyhoo, It spawned That-Soap-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named.
I moved on to MP soup, witch was not as much of a failure.
I found your awesome conglomeration of living data, and hope that I may gain, and give what I can, back again.
Of my silly questions I thought not to laughable to post, I selected these;
1 Are there a list or sheet or the like, that indicate what properties a certain oil may bestow upon the finished soap?
2 Are hardware bought RAW Linseed oil fine for soap? Im not gona eat it, so food grade cant matter all that much, do it?
I did a search (in the suggested way) on the forum after reading the newbie sections and faq's
