I forgot to take pictures while I was mixing! But here is the end result of my first salt bar! :mrgreen: I pre-measured and mixed my oils last night, weighed out my salt, and this morning I weighed and mixed my distilled water and lye. When everything went together, it seemed really watery at first, and foamy, but when I walked away to get my salt and whisk, it traced thick really quick. So I had to rush to get the salt in, and it was a bit thick going into the mold. I wrapped it in plastic and a towel, and unmolded it at about 7 - 7.5 hours. It wasn't to hard to cut, so I cut them at about an inch thick and laid the bars out to cure.
