This may be off topic but why not let soap settle in a cool solution and not add salt ? Grandmothers would have used tallow or lard which wouldn't dissolve in water. Once it settles or solidifies pour off excess lye water and letting resulting soap cure. Any excess lye would turn to ash leaving...

Try whipping the bee gees out of it and see if that helps.

As long as it is a hobby and income remains low than barter would be nonreportable. A hobby business usually shows an overall loss year after year. The IRS doesn't want individuals righting off hobbies. Research hobby business at their site and u will see what I mean. It could be reportable to...

Why would 0% super fat be lye heavy?

Looks like a text book. I hav about 3o hours of chemistry and trying to talk myself into it. Let me work on myself.

Are u sure it isn't aluminum cause it discolors.

I hav a wood old which makes a 1 or 2 or 3 pound soap lined with quilters template. I started with metal cake pans lined with grocery bags.

My whipped butter isn't whipped much. Melted and mixed and than used. It melts when touched and applied. It is a little firmer than when whipped but I'm not having any problems using. I don't sell to the public.

One of the first lessons I learned as a quilter is to Always check measurements. I've found incorrect patterns in from kits, books and magazines. There is a ton of room for human and print error.

I don't but cutting is usually done at least 24 hours later. Not much if any zap at this point.

I made a soap with all coconut oil at 20% super fat and it is the first soap I've made I don't like. To drying.

It would depend on a number of factors. Sounds like she doesn't know what she is doing.

Seven, I love teatree. Send it to me. I'll pay postage. ;)

Interesting soap discussion. Never knew ladies were not washing lady bits what with store bought products and such. Never had a Dr. tell me otherwise. My DH would be unhappy if my routine changed.

I hav a chem background and keep a notebook. It's much messier when I don't hav to impress a boss. Reference the name to where u got a recipe. Not only is it good manners if u ever speak of a specfic recipe but u may need to ask questions at a later time.
