    Mediterranean Blend ?

    That's right! The coupons I have been printing out and taking in every time they pop up in my email ! Yes.

    Mediterranean Blend ?

    Thank you. I appreciate all the time you spent. This really blows me away. I looked at some of my old stuff packed away in a closet last night after posting this. It was ugly, fragrance discolored, shrunken. Got completely bummed and grated a bunch to rebatch. As a soaper, I weave a helluva...

    Mediterranean Blend ?

    Nice!. Thank you so much. I like those properties numbers too. Thanks. I am fighting the urge to do a batch today. Just learned about room temp soaping and did it just the day before yesterday .... not sure how well though. It went from trace to jellied slop after I added fragrance but it's...

    Mediterranean Blend ?

    Thank you, GGW and Resolvable Owl both. I have generated what looks like a decent recipe on the calculator. Using palm and vegetable shortening. Excellent. Thank you.

    Mediterranean Blend ?

    Thanks for that. The label says the entire mix is 5% saturated fat. 14g of total fat 18%. "Refined" sunflower and canola oils My recipes are always for 2 pound batches, about 10-12 bars. Much appreciated. 'Or at least only in the hands of the audacious. (Let's find out if you are 😃).'...

    Mediterranean Blend ?

    Nice. Great prices. My Walmart was short on oils when I went in the other day. Thanks for your response. I appreciate you taking the time GWW. Wrote it down.

    Car Fainted

    I paid 3.90 in Panguitch UT on my way to Salt Lake and 3.39 yesterday back in Tucson AZ. BFF in LA paid $4.90 I think. Said he was going to Costco but had to plan to be there early because it gets backed up if you get there too late. The gas points game with the groceries saves a bit. On the...

    Mediterranean Blend ?

    I haven't been making much soap the past few months but have gotten back on it. There is an oil blend I found at Big Lots that I jumped on. It is a blend of 34% Virgin Olive Oil, 33% Sunflower Oil and 33% Canola Oil. $3.99 for 33.8 oz and seemed like a great premixed combination for...

    My Version of Pear's Soap

    Fragrance cooked off, so zero scent. I had them under a fan for three weeks and rotated them. They never cleared up. Educational value: off the charts though

    My Attempt At Pears Soap

    It was pricey but I learned so much, DeeAnna. I still have glycerine left and may do a clear glycerine soap in the future, so each attempt seems to feed the next.

    My Attempt At Pears Soap

    Thanks. My oversight. I did include it in the video description but not here. D'oh! Thanks, Dawni. Not so sure about it but it seems to be turning into a very hard bar. It's messy [well for me, it is] and proved pretty pricey once all the parts are gathered. It made about 10-11 4 [4.5?] oz bars...

    My Attempt At Pears Soap

    Using ISG's recipe here on Soap Forums I made the attempt. More complicated than any other recipe I have tried. It's not pretty, not translucent. My fragrance died [2 oz] within one day even though I let the slurry cool to 128 degrees and when I took the bars out of the mold they were sticky...
