If you use FO (or EO, for that matter) there's a pretty good chance you won't get all of it out of your crockpot. Also, "soap residue". IMO there's little danger in having unsaponified soap in there, but the other two reasons are enough for me to hit the thrift store....

Yes, that would be more than just A LITTLE crazy....

I don't use lard, but I have one recipe that is very heavy on the coconut and I can literally cut it in 4-6 hours. So, assuming the lard-coconut combo you have is also a "hard" bar...I'd say you could cut very quickly after making. Castile soap, meh....I've had that wanna hang out for a...

Ian, I do the no-cook kind and last year it didn't turn out worth a crap. Very loose. And DH's granny, who's been doing it for ohhhhh....50 years said hers didn't turn out last year either. In her opinion, "something's wrong with the sugar..." Now, I don't know if that's true but if they've...

Ahhhh, Woodi...didn't you go last year as well? Or was it two years ago? What bliss! I'm glad you get to go and recharge!

bless YOU for writing all that out!!!

I did CP with M&P icing, and the browning from the vanilla seeped into the "icing" so I dunno how you fix that, except using vanilla stabilizer in your M&P? It took a couple days for it to show, but I just looked at a bar that was tossed in the seconds pile, and it is WAY brown...like...

Awesome. :D

LOL! :D

Joan of Ark?

Yup. Let it sit....I'm batting a thousand w/GM doing that...and they've all turned out fine!

Par-taaaaay in New Zealand!!! :twisted:

I've uncovered, scooted away from other things, even lifted it out of the wood so it's just taped in paper, and just had a little crack on the top. Milk soap though? Only started it in the fridge. You may be able to slow it down some though. Freezer might be ok for a few minutes, but don't...

As a veggie soaper, I don't use lard, tallow, etc...but like someone said it's preference, kwim? And if I were a customer, full disclosure goes a LONG way. As in, this bar has lard, while this bar is veg friendly. Mkay, sounds good. ;) Although, I was just thinking....I don't let...

:D Very cool! And I'm with the others...very flower-esque!

I need to be invited to Artisan's parties... Er...for *research* of course.....

Awwww, it was so pretty too!! :( Yeah, those saltbars go FAST...like, 3-4 hours and you MUST cut. Still pretty warm/hot to the touch when you do it.

Woooooo! :D

Methinks I need one. NEEEEEEED one!

GAH!!! What an awesome deal! Now, if only I had an extra $800 laying around....
