I use plastic food container that come with clip on lids as mulds for bigger batches. I line the moulds and then clip the lids on. I like this better than moulds with wrap over the top as I leave them wrapped in towels etc in the laundry, and I away worry about my kids little fingers finding...

I just made up some lye solution with a brnd I have never used before, for those in OZ it was black and gold (ie cheap generic brand) as that is all the supermarket had in stock. WHen I opened it I was suspect as it had little grey bits in it, I didmissed it as I thought maybe it was just how...

Have you tried explain it in man terms? Coconut and Olive oil are two different types of cars, and each car needs to have rims, the rims will go on either car but are useless by themselves. The rims are the EOs.

What a clever husband you have. I just want mine to make some wood moulds for me, but I don't think he has the right saw so think the cost of the tools would out weigh the cost of purchasing a made mould. But then again he who dies with the most tools wins right?

I would say yes people would. I don't sell soap (have been making less than six months, not long enough and have no plans to it's a hobby). I think for a few reasons. Curiousity, it is a boutique product. People are intrigued by it the look, the smell. The fact that it is different to...

Wow that looks amazing. How did you do the swirl? I want to do a chocolate soap soon and that has just spurred me on.

Last night I made a goats milk soap. My first time and first soap in months. Was so chuffed that the milk didn't discolour at all.

I think we use the term bastard more than and in completely different context to everyone one else in the world. I once read only in Australia is your enemy a bit of a bastard while your best mate is a complete bastard. And yes it is a term of endearment.

I love looking at them too, one day I will make pretty soap.

That is one of my 2.5yo son's favourite books. He got it for Christmas, unfortunately they only had one, if there was more I was going to buy them out and use them as gifts.

The big ANZAC bikky question, crunchy or soft? I prefer mine raw, I could eat a whole batch of the raw mix. Yummy.

SOrry keep trying to reply and then get summons by my baby. i didn;t want to soap to gel as the description said it morphs at high heats, I also wanted to try a soap without geling as something different as I had read about it. I am pretty sure it reached a true trace as when I when to pu...

it doesn;t but i guess if you are fed it from the time you are "knee high to a grasshopper" you aquire the taste. And no we definitely aren't easily offend.

percentages are a bit wierd as it is a larger recipe that reduced using soapcalc Olive Oil 40.27% Coconut oil 25.2% Palm oil 23.49% Shea Butter 6.04% Castor oil 5% was in the freezer for18 hours, so the soggy edges might just be that it wasn't firm yet?

i tried to make a btch of soap without gelling yesterday but still ended up with a partial gel. I soaped at 30 degress her not sure what that is on the other scale but under 100. I had the mould in the fridge, put it in the freezer. I waited a little while after taking out of the freezer...

It is a yeast extract. It is black/very dark brown. It is very salty can can be eaten on toast, put on vita wheat (big cracker type things) with butter and smooshed to make worms, and even mixed with water to make stock for soup/stews. Looks like axel grease in the jar though.
