    How to Make Soap - Soapmaking Guide for Beginners

    Hi everyone, Overall is very well written, but I also can not agree with: "Nonreactive pitcher or container to mix lye into water (NOT PYREX OR GLASS!!!!)" - PYREX is tempered glass compound and can be used in oven at much higher temperatures. And glass (incl. Pyrex) is one of the most...

    Coronavirus

    "While researchers are hopeful that current candidates will stop not only symptoms but also transmission, no COVID vaccine has proven that capability yet. " And: "While it's possible that one or more of the vaccines could produce sterilizing immunity, it currently remains unproven. " And...

    Coronavirus

    it is incorrect to assume that virus is more dangerous based on absolute counts - it IS essentially relatively new virus so population does not have immunity and all get sick more or less at once (relatively to millennia of years of influenza) But if you look at percentage of deadly cases - it...

    Coronavirus

    Nice for her, but should I throw away all the opinions of proffs in microbiology, virology and biochemistry and that of doctors with decades(!) of experience because some nice young "postdoctoral research scientist focusing on childhood cancers" decided to give her opinion to virus by Forbes?

    Coronavirus

    Correct, thank you , exactly what I said. and here is the laps of reasoning. Above you state being exposed makes "more robust immune system", and now you say it is good to avoid. ??? You obviously are not paitent enough to read my comment to the end, because I explained fully why - "...and...

    Coronavirus

    "Never believe statistics that you did not fix yourself" Even with Hopkins data there are only 1.5% deaths from REGISTERED cases. Considering the fact most cases (+-85%) go unnoticed/untested - the death rate is indeed similar to regular flu. Please show me those trucks with bodies. You know...

    Coronavirus

    It is impossible to stop this virus spread - just like influenza and even more - because so many as 85% and probably more infections go unnoticed - because of mild symptoms or no symptoms at all - it is to stay on this planet. It is the question of time when everyone contracts it. Just relax and...

    Coronavirus

    Dear paradisi, you obviously did not read my answer (#1,165) to you? That you still offer me information from "Forbes" - in your opinion THIS is THE authority to get information about how Immunity works? biologist and doctors have to learn from "Forbes" to make their opinion??? I would laugh if...

    Coronavirus

    Well it happened, that I am a biologist, from medical dynasty (none of whom are chiropractors or naturopaths or even nurses - all hard core classical doctors). So I have my claims not from facebook. Continuous(!) avoidance of "germs" DOES result in weakening immune system over time - please...

    Coronavirus

    Kids are not allowed to go to school if they decided not to take measles vaccine - and you call it "no one is forced"?

    Coronavirus

    The thing is - there is ALWAYS someone, who would benefit from everyone wearing a mask. Cancer patients, elderly, families with premature babies etc. But I doubt it would do good to mankind to wear masks constantly. It is weakening our immune system (by contracting slightly changed virus in...

    Can someone tell me if my first batch is lye heavy?

    did you use "soapcalc_com"? Did it gel? What was superfat? If it is over 5% (looks like in picture) it should be fine. Considering you had 27% lye solution - it is most probably just soda ash - common if there is a lot of water and or superfat in recipe. Or it might be "soda ash" - all my...
