I've used hyssop EO which doesn't accelerate or discolor. It's not that strong but it does stick in CP.

Tallow, olive and castor.

Agreed. Ael was v. respectful and polite; I guess I just don't see the point of turning on that critical eye unless it's requested. Maybe that attitude also contributes to the Pollyanna vibe - but again, there's a difference between blowing smoke and just not getting involved in the...

DH made napalm in college. On a grill. We are both probably on some kind of watch list now, him for making it and me for posting about it. You too, Dennis!

There's a difference between soliciting opinions ("Tell me what you think, be honest!") and saying you're proud of what you made, even if others don't like it. OP did the latter. Of course, everyone has their own opinions, preferences and tastes. If you don't like someone's product, there's no...

Oh man, it's him against the whole world (and your soap). He's the classic antihero.

Exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thank you!

Sorry, one more pic.

Made this GM soap last night. Cut it this am to find it oily and with non-zappy pockets. Is there any reason it wouldn't be safe to use since it's not zappy?

Def not ugly. Looks like granite, as a pp said.

I used tupperware or casserole pans lined with plastic wrap.

I don't know much about labelling laws, but it seems that's a tricky word, at least from what I see on this forum.

Much better! For usage directions, how about, "Apply to dry skin daily"? It avoids the use of the word moisturizing (I'm not sure if that is problematic) and tightens up the language.

Nope, sage EO doesn't speed up trace for me

It's not camping, but it's summer gardening related. I made a gardener's soap with a layer coffee grounds, a plain layer, and a layer of ground, dried parsley - very scrubby to get all that garden dirt off my hands.

Thanks, MzMolly, that's helpful. I didn't realize what normal pine tar acted like.

Yeah, that's the one. The soap gremlins must be hanging out in my kitchen and giving everyone else a pass with this stuff. I do hope the soap works for my dad's skin issues, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't mind never having to work with Satan's goo again.

The PT I bought was way, way too solid to scoop out of the can, let alone pour. It took about an hour in hot water to loosen up, then when I tried to stir it to get all the chunks of still-solid tar incorporated, I got a bunch in the water since the can was so full. (That was due to my own...

I made pine tar soap yesterday for my dad, and this thing had better cure world hunger and global warming. Any suggestions on rendering the tar itself easier to work with? I don't have a microwave, so heated the can up in a pot of water on the stovetop. What a nightmare.

They look great. If you don't mind me asking, how are your sales at the brewery? Sounds like a fun partnership.
