    Mixing lye outside

    -30 is COLD! I lived for a few years where it got into the negative F scale. Dont want to do that again. My advice is dont go outside stay inside where it nice and warm.

    Possible controversy: Castile

    That would be up to the wife. I do what I am told! (mostly) If she wants to sell some once and if I get into the swing of things, well I become cheap labor. I dont intend to do so but in all reality it is up to her. I dont deal well with self marketing or crowds. Long read. I have no issues...

    Possible controversy: Castile

    Well you named the blue bar I picked up... My memory not being what it used to be, Castile vs Bastile is pretty close to what I remember. On a second note, yes I remember the slimy bars of 100% OO. I always cheated a bit and added about 20% Coconut to make the bar harder. Though I never...

    Possible controversy: Castile

    Back when I was actively making soap, Castile soap was a 100% olive oil soap.

At target there...

    If it only worked that way. :) Seriously, I will be happy if it works for her. TY, good to find an active online community. This kind of thing wasn't around back when I was making soap way back when.

    Thats the plan. I think she will be excited by what can be created. Trust me, I know my wife and if wont be long before she is giving it away to her friends and Ill be right back to creating large batches again. I dont really mind as long as she likes it, I'll keep doing it.

    I did CP 20 years ago and kind of just faded out of my life. At that time HP was unknown to me and the idea of doing CP didn't really appeal to me so I've just let soaping stay in the past. Cut to today. My wife is buying boutique soaps and its "killing me" knowing I can make it much cheaper...
