Hi, I am a new soaper and I had tried to use lard to make my first batch because I figured...easy to find and cheap in case I mess up.... but OMGosh the smell of 100 stinky, wet, dogs is what it smelled like after heating it up and combining with the lye. It made me almost nauseous (and I cook and eat meat). My lard wasn't rancid....was it just the brand I was using??..or is that just the smell you have to get used to?? Is it better to combine the lard with vegetable oils and fats to reduse the small?? and 1 more q...Does the finished product smell better *(I would hope)!! Thanks for any info
Does Tallow smell the same?
