I am thinking of making soap on a rope. I plan to cut a PVC pipe up into single size sections for the molds. I am going to drill a small hole in the side of each pipe section. I will take a length of string and fold it in half, run the ends through the whole, tie the ends in a knot and fold the...

What is the difference between "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" and plain old "Olive Oil" in making CP soaps? I have not seen any EVOO on any soap calcs I have looked at. Are they trying to just shorten the name or is OO actually the preferred ingredient? If it is does anyone know why? I have googled...
