So, I made a batch of soap yesterday around noon that I wanted to try to prevent gel, so in the freezer it went until about 4pm today. I set it on the bench in the garage to warm up. So now comes the wait for the condensation to evaporate :lol: This is the Leather from BC that my friend wants me...

I know a lot of people here like to do custom blends using various FOs. I love Oakmoss (and have 8oz freshly arrived from Bitter Creek) and will make a batch for the male family and friends and myself since I like it too. What kind of scents do you like to blend with Oakmoss or is it something...

Just a quick question, since most of the threads are still missing so search isn't necessarily my best option right now. I do have two shot glasses to measure out my smaller amounts of FO in, but I do have a small silicone measuring cup (up to 8oz). Since I'm making a batch that calls for...

My best friend has asked me if I could do a layered soap to recreate a flag. It would be two sets of 2 different colored stripes, a white stripe then another 2 sets of the 2 different colored stripes. Plus an embedded shape in one corner of the top set of colored stripes. I'm confident that I...

but I did NOT eat the rice that appeared when I added my BC Frostbite to my soap batter :lol: Luckily, I wasn't using too much, about half of what was recommended for a batch this size, because I didn't have that much - 28g used when 42 was recommended. On the other hand, someone else in the...

So yep, I soaped today. Used both of my new silicone loaf molds from WSP and I had an empty milk carton that I prepped. I did 240g coconut milk in the oils, 280g water with 278g lye. 200g Castor 500g 76d Coconut 600g Lard 300g Olive 400g Palm Then I poured one loaf unscented, then...

What material do you cure your soaps on? I'm looking at shelving online before I try to buy in-store, at Lowe's or Walmart. Not sure I'm going to wait until I go to IKEA, especially since I have one batch curing, and 3 more planned before I get to go to IKEA - its a 3 hour one way drive to get...

Well, I did it. I did my first test batch today because I'm too impatient to wait for my 76 deg CO so I can do a higher % CO :D 30% Lard 30% Palm Oil 15% Avocado Oil 15% Frac. Coconut Oil 10% Castor Oil With a total of 24oz of oil Water 9.12 oz Lye 3.4 oz 0.75oz CandleScience...

What scale do you use? I need to upgrade because it goes in 0.05 oz increments. Grams are 1 only, no decimals on the grams and if I want to do a 1lb batch of soap to test, I'd like to be able to find one that does the decimals on grams if possible, since the lye should be more accurate on the...

So I'm playing with SoapCalc and I noticed the Sat vs Unsat field. Any particular ratio I should strive for or is it just there for show? Would a higher unsat be more prone to DOS? I've done M&P before but I know CP is a whole other bucket of worms. I've decided to try CP - waiting on my...

Hi all :) Back about 7-8 years ago, I used to dabble in MP soap as I don't have room to dedicate for CP soap. Finances took over and I needed to back off all my crafty stuff. I'm 31 (30 didn't scare me, maybe 40 will), married with twin 19 month olds so I have my hands full and can't really...
