Try soaking them in a mild bleach solution and see if that helps. :)

I make liquid soap in a slow cooker which has low/high settings but I cook (a small batch) on low with no problems. Making soap with glycerine as per the video is dead easy and makes a lovely soap. Just make sure that you use a metal stick blender otherwise a plastic one may melt. :)

There are plenty of liquid soap makers in Australia so your friend won't have any problems getting supply. :)

I love these. :)

I tried the sodium lactate in HP a couple of weeks ago and found that it made the HP more fluid and easier to get into moulds with the resulting texture closer to CP. I used liquid SL and added 2% of oil weight into the lye water once it had cooled to about body temperature. Hardens the soap...

Perhaps you could change your recipe, so that you end up with a harder soap?

Goat's milk soaps come out of these moulds easier than water soaps. :)

I've only made one batch but I heated the glycerine first and then I added the KOH. It dissolved quickly. Must have been quite hot because later I melted my best stick blender. :?

I melt the hard oils first (in the microwave) and then add the soft oils to them and then add the lye to the oils and stick blend. Works beautifully every time. :wink:

I haven't found coconut milk drying at all. I love it in soap. :wink:

Don't make huge batches and DO wear eye protection. :wink:

I dissolve the milk powder into some water and add at light trace or I mix it into the oils before adding lye water (I still dissolve in water before adding to oils).

I mostly prefer just the soap but it does depend on the props used and how they are arranged. Go to google images and type in "goat milk soap" and you will get a good idea of what you like and what looks good. Too many props or the wrong sort of prop can look tacky (to me). It's also a matter of...

I drank un-purified rain water for years so I'd certainly make soap with it. :wink:

Well, I can't read it now, can I? Why do people delete their opening posts? :wink:

Have you looked at Soap Maker 3 Professional Edition to see if it suits you? http://www.soapmaker.ca/index.php

I don't adjust but I split the liquid and use water as well. :wink:

They look great. Try to find a nice tin to fit them into, to do them justice. :wink:

That looks lovely. :wink:

Extra virgin coconut oil didn't retain it's scent in any of the soaps I made.
