    Multi bar soap cutters

    OK, Doing a "search" yielded no results. There was a Thread where we gave opinions on multi bar soap cutters. I am interested in a Hercules cutter, but a google search does not give me what I want. Does anyone have a link to share?

    ACV as liquid for lye solution

    OK, brain storm in progress. My shampoo bars are soap, not Signet. What would happen if I subbed ACV for water in my lye solution? I am going to try this in a small batch (2 bars) to see if the ph is nearer to hair than skin. Thoughts anyone?

    What happened?

    OK, I get that the forums have a new look, but why can't I view or join in on some threads? I get a message about it is time for an Upgrade, and price boxes to pick from. I can't see any of the Challenge threads. Can someone enlighten me? Kiti

    Can I get some insight, please?

    I bought Potassium Hydroxide instead of Sodium Hydroxide and did not catch the mistake until I made a batch of CP shampoo bar batter. It riced and I was stumped at how to fix it. Question, Can I re-melt the batch and mix in some of the correct lye? This has sat for a few days now.
