Thank you... I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who missed her!!! Robert

Tabitha, I know that ALL members are supposed to be bound by the rules of the forum. And, NO ONE should be exempt; including Faithy, me, you, or anyone else. I was just curious, because in the times that Faithy has answered any of my questions or the questions that others have had (the ones...

Didn't know where else to put this, so I put it here. I was just wondering what happened to Faithy. I had come to depend on her tutorial about making liners out of freezer paper. Today I went to the tutorial section, and her tutorials are gone. I did a search for her in the member list and...

Thanks Paul. I'll be watching for it! Me too, Faithy!! :wink:

I know I'm not Paul, but here's the "down and dirty" about RTCP. RTCP stands for Room Temperature Cold Process. It's basically the same thing as CP (Cold Process) except you don't worry about the oils and lye being at a certain temp. You make up your lye solution, melt your oils, and let...

Jean, I have a soap that I make with Canola Oil, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil and Olive Oil only. It never gets hot. Barely even gets warm. And, it never gells. But, it sets up very quick and gets hard as a brick! I have another one that I make with Crisco, Lard, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil. and...

Hey Paul, Would you please put up a tutorial on making up lye water ahead of time and using it in future batches? I'd like to do this because thanks to faithy, I now only do RTCP. And, sometimes I don't want to have to wait forever for the lye water to cool down. Thank you in advance...

Ditto

The other day, I made a batch of soap that contained no water. None, except the water that I used to make green tea. I took the recommended amound of liquid, and used 1/2 green tea and 1/2 goat's milk. The next time I do that, I will freeze my green tea though. Adding the lye directly to the...

No problem, Neil. I was glad I could help out. I definately concur, Neil. I would again say that Sharon makes some beautiful soaps. But, she's already told me to hush. Said I was making her blush. But, they really are beautiful soaps!! Robert

GREAT job, Sharon!!! I told you that you could do it!!! 8) Too bad the others can't see the pics that I saw. You definately have some georgeous soaps. I'm sure they are a lot of trouble to make. But, they sure are a work of art!! Robert

Hey Jadiebugs1, Cool looking soaps. Since you use photobucket for your pics (I do too), it's rather easy to post a pic. Go to photobucket and find the pic that you wish to post. Under the pic, there is a list. Left click on the words that says, "IMG Code." After you do, there should be...

Hey Lane, I can't help you with your problem. I just wanted to say how pretty your flower soaps are!! Good luck, Robert

Faithy.... you're a nut!!!!!!!! Barb, I knew you weren't thinking that I was stupid. You don't strike me as that kind of person. :) But, I felt stupid. Not your fault at all. I just get really ticked off at myself when I can't see/understand something sooo simple. I tend to expect...

Okay... I thought you had to have something in a liquid state (such as water) to begin with. I didn't realize that it was alright to start out with all the liquid as frozen cubes and add the lye directly to that and only that. Thank you for clearing that up for me!! I'm not stupid...

Thanks Barb. But, I don't think the FO had anything to do with the color. It is a very dark (almost black) orange. I think the dark color was directly related to combining the tumeric colored oils with the black color that was made by the green tea/lye mixture. If I had frozen the tea...

Glad to help Erin!! Robert

Tabitha, I hope you're right!! My wife and I may end up using this for ourselves!! :) Paul and dragonfly princess, it may look like fudge to you.... but, I don't think it would taste anything like it!! :) I don't know though... it might taste like my ex-wife's fudge!! YUCK!!!! :lol...

:lol: :P :lol: :P :lol: :P :lol: Faithy, you're as full of it as I am!!! To me the top of the soap looks kind of like King Tut's skin!! But, thanks for being... uh... nice!! :lol: :P :lol: :P :lol: :P :lol:

Well, I've made another batch of soap. About 2 lbs. of it. Faithy helped me choose the oils to use. Faithy, thank you for all of your help and input! Now, if I could just learn to make soap!!!!! :lol: Since I have learned that grams are much more accurate than ounces, I've been using...
