So I was able to get an answer off the Facebook group Hot Processors. I am not adding lye to the solution, nor the Castor Oil (as it won't saponify). Honey, Sugar, and Sea Salt will be added (not simultaneously). I am not worried about brown color, as the soap is already brown. The Rebatch...

Hello all! And Happy New Year! :) I am new to the forum and have only been soaping since end of September 2014. While I have made quite a few batches of CP soap, and tested rebatching using the baggie method described in Bramble Berry's blog, I have 2 recipes that I made end of September...

Hi Sonya-m, I am no expert on Rebatch Soap, and have only done the baggie method described on Bramble Berry thus far on a few small batches (successfully). I found that rebatching those small batches with milk melted better than with water. I plan on rebatching 4.8 lbs of soap in a...

Welcome! Welcome, srblatt17! And Happy New Year! Looking forward to connecting with you here on the forum! I just started soaping in September 2014 and just joined the forum a few days ago. I am soooo addicted! :) I've made about 6-7 recipes thus far so far, gave all of them away for...

Welcome! Welcome, SoapandGory! And Happy New Year! Looking forward to connecting with you here on the forum. I'm new here as well. How did your Beer soap turn out? Pictures? It's one of my next recipes to try.

Welcome! Welcome Fluffmuffin! I'm new as well to the forum. Look forward to connecting with you as well! :)

Welcome! Hi Bluegrass-Josh and Welcome from Missouri! I am also new to the forum here, started soaping in September 2014 and was bit hard by the bug! Super addicted! :)

Hello all! Just wanted to share that I am starting today on building "The Rose Cutter", as blogged about by Riverlea Soap. You can see the cutter in action at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3gohEiu3Is It won't be finished today, as the handles are to be glued and need to sit for a couple...

So glad that clarified things, IrishLass. Sometimes I'm multi-tasking and miss a typo, and pictures can say 1000 words faster. It is actually the 1st Vanilla soap I considered to be oil heavy. One soaper on here kinda changed my opinion on that stance though. Said that it was actually water...

Hello KristaY! Thanks for the welcome! :wave: Ok, so here I am attaching pics of my printed SoapCalc recipes that I am planning on rebatching. I am actually waiting on responses from all of you before I proceed, as you are much more knowledgeable in this area than I. I have the titles of each...

Hi there, IrishLass! Thanks for the welcome and I'm definitely glad to meet another Tolkien fan, like myself! :) I am going to take a picture of the soapcalc sheets (both old and new for Vanilla) and post them here (since I've already been explaining that soap here).

Hi there, CaraBou, and thank you for the 1st warm welcome! Yes, I was bitten pretty hard. haha That certainly makes sense with the creeping and volcanoes not happening with a rebatch. Right after you posted this last night, boyfriend and I were up babysitting a batch of beer he was making, so I...

Introduction: My name is Silmaryll - Part 2 Sorta sorry I'm writing so much, but I didn't feel like editing the 998 characters I was over in my initial post. I will say this after trying out slivers of my soap before and after they were cured. They had great lather, my skin felt 100%...

Hello all, Introductions always feel a little awkward, but I have blogged in the past and every blog post felt like an initial introduction of myself. But, as you can see by the length of my initial introductory post here, I'm no stranger to writing, and I do enjoy it. :-P While my...
