Yeah, I'll probably just pitch it. I didn't use any expensive oils so it didn't cost too much in ingredients. Already did a different batch that looks a me it is going to turn out perfect.

No, I haven't done anything to it yet not even a zap test.

After a long hiatus, I'm finally able to get back to soap making. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I added way too much lye. The batteries were out on my scale so I guessed. Not a good idea. This is what it looks like 24 hours after pouring into a mold. . Edited to add that I screwed up on...

I've seen it. I wish I could set that experiment up and try it for myself to see what the "real" results would be. Maybe somebody here has the capability to do this and share the results???

I use the apple cider vinegar with EO's in it. The EOs cover the smell of the vinegar. The following are the most common used EOs in hair care. Essential Oils Often Used In Hair Care Basil: Oily hair … promotes growth Chamomile: Fine to normal hair … gives golden highlights...

I'm green with envy.

Yep, if I'd known it was this easy and fun years ago I would've started back when I first heard about homemade soap. Oh well... I'm making up for those lost years now.

Arghh... I wanna make more.. but I'm out of lye. :x :cry: I think I'm just a little too obsessed. Must step away. Next paycheck I'll get some more lye and try out GM soap or something similar.

It reminded of the smell you get when you get close to the zoo or in an area with a lot of animals. It smelled pretty much from the moment I opened the container. Again, I'm super sensitive to smells so maybe I'm just being a wuss. Then again knowing my luck it could have been bad. I just...

I bought it five hours before I used it at Fiesta but I am very sensitve to smells so it could honestly just be me. My first batch of CP I decided to just buy a "beginner's kit" from an online store. They included a 2lb plastic mold. The batch I made using their pre-measured ingredients...

Well, I finally got the sandalwood batch out of the mold. Egads!! I had to pretty much hack it out. Never will be able to use that mold again. It has a very slight sandalwood scent which probably won't last, but it did pass the zap test and since I had to hack it out, I had lots of little...

lol... I still can't look at a bar of Irish Spring without cringing. *shudders* I decided to go ahead and try this. I used a plain olive bar of soap. Didn't really have a bad taste that I noticed which I was worried about but I'm not sure how clean my teeth got. I'll try it a few more...

Wow, I've never heard of anyone using soap on their teeth before other than when they were kids and got their mouth washed with soap for saying bad words. Hmm... not sure if I wanna try that but I think will just to see how it works.

Me too. I am such an impatient, gotta have it now kinda girl. It's killing me to wait. I'll give it another week before I do a test. My first batch was really soft coming out of the mold so I want to give it time to get a little harder before using it. Eeek! I'll have to be careful of...

Well, I unmolded the lard ones. They don't smell nearly as bad as they did while I was making them but they still don't smell all that great but even if the smell doesn't dissipate anymore I can just add some EOs to cover the nasty smell. Also I used silicone mold (the muffin one) and I...
