I have a cousin that has informed me that my soap really stings his eyes. So It got me to thinking , Is there anything you can do to mellow out the sting? I have tasted it and it isnt lye heavy so I m not sure why it would sting that bad... Also a lady used it on her private parts and said the...

ok I gotta ask... how do you know when he needs what scent? and when he smelled them did he change his attitude I mean? I have two little minis and one has a fire in his belly. You probably think I'm nuts but I havent had alot to do with horses other than mini's so I can feel heat when I walk...

Ok let me start by telling you... I am a sixty one year old lady. I built my own wooden log molds just because they are expensive... So I first figured out how many bars I wanted out of the log. I actually stacked a bunch of bars together then measured for by base. I cut about a half inch...

I added charcoal to one batch, purchased from a pet store and run thru a coffee grinder.The comments I got were its a bit of an exfoliant and it seems to absorb the smell of fish off from your hands. I am gonna make another batch for the fish person so he can test it for me.

potasium hydroxide is correct. I jsut tried my first batch in a crock pot. I cooked it on high till it waws done. I got it to thick trace, then taffy and the.... a rock. there was no way to actually stur it I kuind of had to mix with a cut and a scoop. I was thinking OMG will this stuff even...

I have a couple of molds like that, not the same one but same wood. I love them. But I line mine with plastic garbage bags rather than lining them with anything Also I have built my own molds using wood. Sometimes when they are bigger than I want, say for a trial bar, I take slats of wood and...

you can line them with a plastic bag. I buy the small trash can liner ones with no lettering on them. Now they do make some strange marks on the ends but everything else is good to go. If you have lettering on them just make sure it isnt toward the soap as it can come off on the log. I trim...

thats how I do mine bit rather than nailing them I gliue them. Oh and I cut extra pieces to work as dividers so I can make smaller batches by stacking them in the back part of the mold. and basically building a dam of sorts. I line with a plastic bag so there is no leakage.

what about silk proteins, are they like the same thing? and how much do you use in lets say a 42 oz loaf

taking notes here. I dint use near enough I think it was only about a teasp total. and its 42ozs of oil. Thats ok its all a learning experience. and I am learning with each new bar. and thank you for your complements

my home depot has little yellow caps that fit in the different pipe sizes. You can tape them to the bottom of the pipe for safety. They also have one that screws in tight, but the screw is huge. so I try not to use that till I get my stand made for it.

[/url] [/img] Beer soap this is the one I asked you all about before I made it. It came out pretty good for the first time This one has charcoal added. I was trying for black but am still happy with the gray. Scented Orgasam This one is scented dewberry

you dont let it cool like your water? To room temp. Gotta tell ya after alal the reading I never expected it to foam up the way it did scared the crud outta me. Ok so notes for beer soap .... be prepared for the foaming when lye is added

I am getting ready to do my first batch of beer soap. or should I say ale,, oils are ready ale has been sitting for a week open poured it into a bpitcher no fuzz. thinking I'm ok. add lye a little at a time... Poof foam all over the place.. Phew we survive that, thank heavens it was a big...

No expert here but... I would say the last batch gelled thats why the color difference.. My goats milk soap turned kind of brown rather than staying creamish

its mp. I have worked for a month pouring and pouring to get the feather in the middle. Sometimes it wants to float other times it sinks like a rock. This time I poured the white then a thin layer of clear then a third layer to finish it off. There must be an easier way lol

I have been making cp for almost two years now when one of my associates at work suggested I make a soap with a feather in it. So after several attempts that I wasnt pleased with I came up with this one. Its called fetish, designed to tickle your fancy and scented with lustful dreams. Opinions...

I am sitting here reading about salt bars. Question for you, What happens if you desolve the salt in the water with the lye? Other of course you dont have the salt crystals for exfoliating? I've read that salt bars last forever which is kind of my reason for trying this, but would it make the...

I am no athority but I do believe if you dont want gell put it in the refrig and let it sit in there. I had one I didnt care if it gelled or not but put it in the frig for only about an hour when my daughter in law asked me to remove it . She was afraid it would make all the food smell like...

good luck iwth the cheese cutters but.... I think you will find that they will break in a very short time. they are really just to flimsy. Now the U shapped boxes with a guitar wire strung thru them are good for inexpensive and would be easy to make.
