Soapmom, I just had to tell you that you have the BEST avatar ever!!!!

They all look so pretty. The blue is my favorite.

I am sitting here reading this while eating a piece of lime coconut cake I made for our New Year's Eve dinner desert. Now I'm thinking I need to make this and put lime FO in it and hope it comes out smelling like the cake. What a great summer fragrance this would be. Thanks for the great...

Hi Jaaret, I am so glad you are on this forum. I have read many of your post to get pointers. Thanks for taling the time to post them. BTW, I love the backround on your avatar.

Welcome Megan! I just joined this forum a week ago and I love it. Everyone is so eager to answer questions and you don't have to wait very long for a response. I can hardly believe how quick they are around here! I'll be visiting your lovely country with my daughter and her girl scout troop...

In that case, I'm taking the plunge tomorrow after church. My daughter is leaving for Florida to march in the New Year's Parade at Disney and DH will be watching football. Hopefully he won't notice if I blow up the kitchen!!! :D

Hi Bunny, nice of you to hop in! I'm new here too. I'm only getting ready to make my first batch on Monday so any advice you post will certainly be read by me. Robin

I was wondering if you have to modify a recipe for HP or can it be the same as it would be for CP?

thanks so much for the info. I do have some ordered but my husband is very impatient and wants to try making the shaving soap RIGHT now!

Does anyone know if you can buy palm oil at Walmart? If you can where about would it be located in the store?

You're the best Paul. I hope Santa is extra special to you this year! :wink: I can't wait to make some shaving soap for hubby.

looks very nice. I like the ridges on the tops of the bars. Robin

OMG, that is so cool. I haven't even made my first batch of soap yet and you are trying to get me hooked on another craft!!!

Oooo that sounds like a good idea. I have a big plastic bowl with a handle and spout on it I could use. Another question: do you use PH test strips? BTW, is it as cold down on your part of the coast as it is up here? 14 tonight!

Well merry merry Christmas to you too. I just finished scrapping all my gift tags and put them on the presents so I'm ready to go. Now I need it to be tomorrow morning so I can get all the rest of my supplies and start my soap making adventure!

Yeah, the copper is on the outside to distribute the heat more evenly. I'm just going to use it to melt the solid fats so I won't hurt the bottom with high heat.

That is so cool. Just as soon as I learn how to make soap I'm going to do that for my husband for Valentines Day! I guess I better hurry up and learn!

I am so so so excited to get going on this. I do have a ss bowl for mixing the lye into the oils but all I have to melt the solid fats in is a ss pot with a copper bottom and a ss pot with an aluminum bottom. I guess it would have been a better question to ask if it is okay to melt in either...

oh my goodness but you guys are quick responders! I finally found the search button and now feel silly for not seeing it. Thanks for the help. I'm not quite ready to give it a go yet but I'm getting closer. I need to get the ingredients and a scale yet. I've been dropping hints so I'm going...

I have a few questions....1)Is it okay to use a stainless steel pot with a copper bottom on the outside? 2)How do you do a search of a particular topic in old posts? 3)After I pour a batch into molds can it be put in a back room that is probably only about 60 degrees?
