Has anyone tried the coconut oil from the dollar general before. It’s the clover valley brand. I am too far from Walmart so I thought I’d try this one

Thanks linne1gi for your suggestions. Our humidity levels have been through the roof lately. Lol I haven’t had issues with my bars sweating, just DOS. I’ll definitely get some of the EDTA for my next batch. Hopefully it’ll help. I did move my curing area to another room in my home.

Thanks for getting back so quick :-) My recipe: 6% castor 20% coconut oil 55.2% lard 18.8% Olive oil Only 5% super fat I did have a batch on a plastic coated rack. Maybe it had something to do with it. I did remove it from my shelf where I place the soap to cure.

Hi Cmzaha I do have a high lard recipe that I’ve used for years. Maybe I need to lower the amount. I attached my recipe. Maybe I should super fat more ? I appreciate your help Thanks soapsap Do you know where I can purchase the EDTA?

I live in south Louisiana so there is plenty of humidity. I’ve read a few post about humidity being a problem but would love to know if there is a way to store them without using a dehumidifier. I’ve checked all of my expiration dates on all of my oils. They are all good. I moved from a brick...

Thanks psfred

Thanks Dibbles!

Maybe there is a thread someone can send me .... I would like to try a water discount but not sure how to adjust the numbers in the calculator. TIA

Thanks Marie I’m happy I found it

I finally made it back to Big Lots and yes I think “Fresh Finds” is the same as Butcher Boy coconut oil. In fact the store had both brands available but I purchased the FF since the expiration date was later than BB. $12 for 1020z. Great buy and big savings !

Thanks everyone. I’ll return to Big Lots next weekend to purchase some. I think this bottle was around $12 if I remember right. I’ll let y’all know once I know for sure. Also, I do agree that it does look like Butcher Boy. I bought that brand a couple years ago from BL.

Thanks earlene I live where the temps are 90 and above. Lol. South Louisiana

Thanks ISG! Will do

I found this at Big Lots at a great price. Does anyone know if it’s ok to use for CP soap? I can’t seem to find on the label if it’s 76*

Wow! That’s crazy My expiration date is November 2018

I always use lard and OO in my recipe. I’ve never tried RBO. I did some research in the forum and realized I need to get some to try.

I just stopped at Lowe’s to get this awesome deal on Rice Bran oil!

Thanks for the tip! Didn’t know about that one ;-)

Hi dixie I love OMH from Pure Fragrance oils and would like to know before I order if there are any other oils that you may have tried from this company? I don’t see many post about them.

Thanks cmzaha CracklIn Birch is one of my favorites. I have a couple of bars from 2 years ago and still smell great.
