How much /box ? I live in Québec, I called a few places today and there's no way to find the size I'm looking for. My soaps are (in inches) 3 x 3 x 1 and the closest fit I found was 3.5 x 3.5 x 2, wich is still too big. Aaaand they only come in white. So now I'm considering ordering online but...

Funny because me and my dad have been brainstorming in the past 3 days on how we're going to make a good soap cutter ;) We're looking for ideas

Here are some of the ones I made. My 4th batch ever, 1st time testing colours. I don't know why there are little white spots/dots on them.. they appear to be really small bubbles.

What about olive oil? You know how much it weights? I have unopened bottles of each kind of oils, if I know the weight/L for olive oil I can just weight the bottles and calculate the difference.

So I want to know how much $ it costs me in oils for my 500g(oil) recipe. I'm too lazy to weight my oils, I figured it'd be faster to ask here :P. Are most liquid oils the same weight/X quantity? I want to know how many grams is a litre olive/castor/sunflower oil. Anyone has these numbers?

Mmmmmeeeee We don't celebrate thanks giving here in canada. I'm testing colors today. I did a batch this morning and will do another one tonight. I'm testing with chlorophyll. Edit: I mean today, we don't today. It was a month and a half ago I think.

I went shoping for oils this weekend and wasn't sure wich one was better: Extra-Virgin, Virgin, or.. regular/normal. Wich ones are the refined you're talking about, extra-virgin and virgin? Looks like the cheapest olive oil is the non-extra-virgin/virgin oil. So, is this the best one? I'm...

This should be called "US Wal-Mart Recipe". Poor Canadiens, Wal-Mart here don't carry half these ingredients. :(

For some reason I had this feeling that once my lye solution was made I had to be quick and use it as soon as possible. Once the lye solution is done, how long is it still good? Let say I want to make 3 batches on a 3 day period, can I just make the lye solution I'll need for all 3 batches and...

Yeah. So I changed my recipe and made another one using soapcalc. I used olive oil, castor oil, coconut oil and mango butter. The result was not quite was I expected. Since I was using goat milk, I thought I was going to have a bright colored (beige?) soap. I made sure to add the lye very...

Minimum of 38 on the hardness scale.. good to know. I will note this down and make sure I take that in consideration everytime I play with SoapCalc. I have everything ready to mix the lye with the goat milk, plenty of ice cubes especially for that. It's getting cold outside here and should be...

Heeeeello! Newbie here ;) I own a goat farm and I'm opening my cheese dairy and my store this spring/summer. I needed some more things to sell so the place won't look too empty. I thought soap would be nice, and after doing some research, I ended up here. I have to admit that the whole soap...
