The very first recipe I ever used instructed me to measure the water into a glass pitcher so I went out and bought Pyrex and have used...

    What else could go wrong with this batch?

    single bar mold

    Hi, I want to experiment with different scents by making single bars. Does anyone have any ideas for a mold for this? Something found around the house maybe? I was thinking a toilet paper roll would be cool but hard to line.

    Salt Soap

    They look great! I go to Bonaire to scuba dive every year and this island is known for its salt. I plan to buy some salt from there this Christmas to make for the divers who frequent Bonaire! I didn't think of it until I saw this post so I thank you for the idea!

    Outer bars have discoloration

    I won't be able to post a picture until later but the first 2 batches that I made the outer bars were whiter than the middle. The second batch I put into PVC pipe and the outer part of the bar was lighter than the middle. What am I doing wrong?
