    Soap Troubleshooting - Ashy look that doesn't wash off

    I've been making soap for about 6 years now and I've never come across this problem before. It appears that I have a soda ash problem, but it doesn't wash off. It looks like it's deep into the soap. I even tried scraping with the back of my disk washing tool. In the red layer on the end it's...

    Essential depot is having a sale on Palm Shortening Oil cubes. BOGO, yet I think you have to join their club. Their smaller size is labelled Palm Oil and their 50lb Cubes are labelled Palm Shortening Oil. To me it seems they should be different. Are they...

    Greasy Bars - new to the craft...

    Hello everyone! So I'm having trouble with my third batch of soap. It's a recipe from another book I have. The two recipes I used from the first book went off without a hitch! Great hard bars after a month or two in the dehumidified basement - simple grocery oil bars. So yesterday I decided...
