Grr! I want to make the batch now! I've been reading and reading and decided to use the CP recipe as shown in the tutorials for the first batch but have to wait for oil and lye to arrive. I ended up ordering coconut and lye from Essential Depot. Availability here was not good and I wanted to be sure of having the correct ingredients so any mistakes would be laid at my door, not some unknown ingredient included in whatever I purchased locally. An example was the olive/canola oil combination on sale at Winn Dixie. I was advised against that on this forum.
I ordered an Escali scale from Amazon ($24.62rednotaxandfreeshippingbecauseIaddedareallychallengingjigsawpuzzleformywife.)
This is like taking chemistry class all over again except it's much more interesting this time around.
Yesterday afternoon was spent with my daughter and I scouring thrift stores for necessary tools. We came home empty handed but found just what was needed in our kitchen. LW approves if I replace with new and better. (sigh)
Hurry up UPS! :roll:
