I am new to soaping and so far in the last month I have made 2 dozen recipes that have all turned out beautifully. I thought I would try tp nix out palm oil. First I tried Substituting palm for lard; and yes ,I re-calculated. Well let's just say I have a nice pile of washing flakes' Then I tried a straight up simple lard recipe and it broke into pieces. I read that you can wait too long to cut so I thought that might have been the problem. Now I have tried a more complex lard recipe and I could not get it to trace. What is up with lard?
