Yes the insects and animals leave everything else alone. They only went after that one soap... Because it was heavy with natural sugars. Now the chickens are seriously stupid. I tossed some shaving's and they munch it up like it's good for there tummy? Don't do this... They keep coming back...

Ok here is what I have found out about this crazy coconut soap. Trying to get this hot processes smooth out the pipe. I'm going to use this papaya I'm working on now. Because I found the issues and fixed them temporary with the papaya. Ok there are these wierd blue spots showing up. I know...

Don't add anything sweet past 128 grams per kilo. Another way is sorta crazy :-) You take a plate fill it with water Take a bowl and put it Straight in the middle. Next you place your soap on the bowl :-) Ants don't swim. "Stop SniFFiN ma SoAP"

I found when you add to much of anything heavy. Like any natural sugars or raw... I found black ants, red ants, all colors if ants.. Go straight for it. Only when there is to much of an ingredient Like a sugar ingredient added. You must have less then 128 grams per kilo. Of any type of...

I made a few more batches... It seems when you make any soap To heaven with anything such as a fruit... Or anything a ant would love... Your going to find your self in a world of craziness .. why? Because the amount your adding is too much. Add less and it seems ok. Good enough for a store...

Ants are eating my Papaya Soap... They crawl around muching and strange white Little bits are left as they roam around. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm afraid to make the chocolate... Can you imagine fighting ants off your soap? I seriously didn't think this was possible..

The issue is that when I have tried to do the 100F The temp climbs up Everytime at least 10% Then at this point it flips to Gell stage. So here is what has happened as of new. I made a recent Papaya and got the recipe correct. It does a tiny gell thing and small crack. Even at 96F But that...

Ok the soap after cooking.. Has blisters everywhere and usually a wicked heat vent occurs. The only way I was able to break this crap. To actually fix it. I had to bring this UpTo 175F to get it pourable and to be able to use 1)2 before and half mix after. Meaning... At first slam the oil and...

Ok here is the thing. I spent like 5 week's studying this new soap stuff. It's my favorite hobby by far and yes I live it lol. So after 25 years later I have returned. These last 5 week's if processing all sorts of things. I have come to some conclusions ,after reading hundreds of articles...

The Cold Process works perfectly. The Hot Process works but with blister issues and sometimes heat vents ,and I have tried Various temperatures. The colder the better. But sence I can Go this with 1/2 hour or less Or a little longer depended on testing. The final phase is nice ,but with...

I'm gelling outside the pipe and then globbing or pouring. I have one end not sealed at all the top. Yes it's not PVC ,it's that orange strange pipe. Used for electricity and drainage. Smooth inside. Cheap and smooth lol. I can't mess with that lye concentration because If I add too...

Di you try 1/2 lye, water before.. Get it to where you want.. Then add the other 1/2 ? Mix real fast and drop? I'm interested to see if you just add 25% or 50% At first of the lye.. and all the stuff. I have notice everything I do always is affected by the soap reaction it's self and the...

Thank you for your reply. How I Hope in the plastic pipe. 1st I get everything prepared. 2nd: I look at my previous notes and make a plan. 3rd: I check my clean up ,making sure everything is clean. 4th: I prep the oil by heating on a stove to remove the water from the oil it's self. And...

Try a little water and slightly and lightly wash the surface smoooooth.

The problem for myself is this. Yes I want smooth. But if I add water I get sweating soap. If I don't water discount the soap only lasts like 1 day in the bathroom. I know this might seem strange, but I got soap monster people lol. People that use soap in this house like it is crack...
