Hi
Thank you for your support! It's really Loving!
This day my city temperature are between 104 to 114 F in days and a little low in nights!
I test a recipe in 120 F temperature and with Canola oil and then take it in open area. Result was doughy!
In other test, I deletion Canola oil and after mix materials I refrigerate it! It seems be good! Now Result is from temperature or Canola oil deletion?
Is a temperature shock useful for CP?
here are my recipes:
My doughy recipe:
Coconut oil 1.764 Oz (50 Gr)
Canola oil 1.305 Oz (37 Gr)
Olive oil 2.61 Oz (74 Gr)
Castor oil 0.282 Oz (8 Gr)
NaOH 0.851 Oz (24.11 Gr)
Water 2.256 Oz (64.22 Gr)
In this recipe SoapCalc say Hardness is 32 and range is between 29-54 but I have just paste!
Second Recipe (now are in refrigerator!!! :) ):
Coconut oil 3.527 Oz (100 Gr)
Olive oil 7.05 Oz (200 Gr)
Castor oil just 10 drops ;)
NaOH 1.538 Oz (43.60 Gr)
Water 3.961 Oz (112.3 Gr) - (SoapCalc say this need 2.963 Oz!)
SoapCalc say Hardness is 30 and range is between 29-54
What I must add to some recipe for a good Hard and blubber soap? and with what temp?
Thank you for your respond!

what did you mean by doughy? how is the soap now? already hard?
i soap with canola all the time, and i live in a hot and humid climate all year round too, and my soaps with canola never had a problem

In other test, I deletion Canola oil and after mix materials I refrigerate it! It seems be good! Now Result is from temperature or Canola oil deletion?

you don't have to refrigerate your soap, unless you want to prevent gel. what are the difference b/w your 2 soaps so far? can you post some pictures?

by paste, you mean it's not setting up? is it separating? how long has it been since you put it in the mold? what was your process? did you use a stick blender? your batch is very small.

temp doesn't really matter me thinks. you can do room temp soaping, both lye and oils at room temp. generally, 5-8% castor is enough to help with the bubbles. a long cure also helps. next time you make soap, use 1 unit for everything (eg: gram, oz). don't use drops, because that can mess up your calculation. 1 tablespoon sugar per 500 gr of oils can also helps with bubbles.
 
I have a Cream I mean! now it's three days that my soaps are in molds and still are Creamy!
I use of Gram unit in my recipes But when I write about them I convert them to Ounce Because some masters work with Ounce unit (I think!)!
 
First recipe result (still cream after three day):
