sorry, I do not know anything about alkali precipitate, but I do a water discount of 38% and I love it. It DOES speed things up ALOT! Last week I forgot to change the water discount on soap calc (lye concentration) box on one of my batches, and now the soap will take FOREVER to dry :-(...

I used to use the low setting on the crockpot, but it was just way too hot. I start it off on low (when melting the solid oils, and then just to get everything going), but then I move the temperature to the warm setting, which is about 170 degrees, according to my laser thermometer. I do...

I like it! There is a lot of good energy emanating from your site! Good luck!

Hi Deda and MadPiano-- I also have zencart but feel "stuck" because the templates I have seen all look the same. I have looked at your websites and I love them. My web person just quit because I kept tweaking the look of my website. Obviously, we had different aesthetic ideas, lol. I hope...

I have done it both ways (1/2 water to dissolve the lye, then add milk later; all milk to dissolve the lye), and have never burned or scorched a batch. But the soap does come out lighter if I add the milk later.

This discussion brings to mind a Kenny Loggins concert I went to a few years ago. His breakthrough hit was House on Pooh Corner. He wrote it when he was a teenager. Kenny said Disney let him slide because they probably figured, he's a kid...nothing will come of it.... But little did Disney...

My father's day soaps are beer and coffee, Irish Spring, and Peppermint.

I have three of them I use as shoe racks and one as a catchall bench by the front door. They are small and yes, I think they would work. They are also stackable. I think I paid about $13 or $18 for them at Costco, but I could be wrong.

I got my no line mold at soaphutch.com I LOVE IT! Here is a picture of all the configurations it can do: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 32.3431941 It was a little difficult (make that REALLY difficult!) to get the soap out for the first 2 or 3 batches, but now the sides just...
