Cold press or Cold process?

[DeeAnna]

This curious mind is wondering why the former CP soap forum is now the "Cold press" soap forum. Shouldn't it be "Cold process"? At least that's what I've always thought CP stood for. :roll:

I noticed that earlier today but just thought I was losing it . . .

I smell autocorrect...

Thank you!! I thought I was seeing things, could have sworn it used to say "cold process", but I figured I had always just assumed that's what it said...:crazy:

 

[DeeAnna]

Glad I'm not the only one who's been wondering!

 

[newbie]

I saw it too. I hate the term cold press because it makes no sense. Is it possible to have it changed back to cold process?

 

[galaxyMLP]

I think it used to say CP soap forum and it didn't spell out cold process.

I've never heard it refered to as cold press. Even in the suuuper old book (early 1900's) I'm reading, they refer to it as cold process.

I saw that, and wondered why I never noticed it before. But now I know it isn't just me. And I think Galaxy is right - it just said CP.

Thank you!! I thought I'd lost the plot and that it must have always said it!!

I don't know what happened, but I changed it back to Cold Process. We'll see if it stays that way.

 

[DeeAnna]

Thank you!

It now says cold process until you go in the it changes to lye based

At least on the app

It's been changed to lye based per the Admins/Mods request. Hopefully that will clear up any confusion.

Sounds like this is an answer to the complaints about lumping hot process into the Forum Formerly Known as "CP soap forum" or "Cold Process soap forum". :mrgreen:

 

[penelopejane]

But all soap is lye based. Cold process was a better heading IMO. This is just confusing and inaccurate now. : (

 

[IrishLass]

Penelopejane, while it's true that all 'true soap' is lye-based, not all lye-based soap is made via the Cold Processed method.

The reason why we re-named it Lye Based from Cold-Processed is because 'CP' or 'Cold Process' was too narrow of a title, considering that we have a lot of Hot Process soap-makers here who have often made it known to us that they found the title 'Cold Process' too confusing and/or exclusionary to their particular method of soaping with lye. I hope that helps to make more sense.

Nobody likes change, but it's here to stay, we just have to get use to it.

Most of the members who have been here a while want it. http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=56644

I like the change. I think it is more inclusive.

 

[Relle]

Yeahhhh, we have made some people happy.:grin::clap:

I dont mind the change by why not to cp/hp forum. then it covers both without the confusion that all soaps contain lye.
