It's on soapcalc under the soap qualities tab.

I measured exactly what the soapcalc said, I dunno I think I need to take a soap break cuz it's giving me a headache.:undecided

yup this one I tried with lard, coconut oil, crisco, soybean, & castor oil.

Is that possible? If so, I'd sure like to know also.

I left the soap in the mold for two days, and it's still really soft- umm kinda like playdoh. Also the sides and bottom seemed oily-not bad-but it was a first for me. Is this ok? I know, I tend to be a bit on the panicky side...

The first one is the top-don't ask me where the bubbles came from, lol. It seems to be hardening nicely though-phew.

Was this directed at what I said?

Boy this really urks me. I did find castor oil at wal-mart. 4oz for $1.97. I needed a lil over 4 oz for the soap so I got 2 bottles of it. When I measured out the oil guess what-there was only 3.75 oz. Just another one of their money making tricks I guess-like the deli. I swear everytime I anything from the deli they always go over just a little bit- I don't mind but just think of the $$ they make from the extra quarter here and there. Ok enough of my babbling dammit.

Ok this is not good-those soaps r making me hungry and it's only 10:30.

Pretty soaps, and I DO SEE E.T.!!!!!!!!!! That is sooooooo freaky .

huh??

I also like the baby bottle salts!

I soooo know what you mean about sugar scrubs- I gave some out to some of my friends & co-workers and they're all like "huh-what's that?" I went in this cute little shop a few months ago when I went on vacation and they had some kind of body whip- it was set up like an ice cream parlor- gallon size buckets of it and you picked out a scoop of whatever kind you wanted. It got me, I think I payed over 2 bucks for a scoop-and I ended up throwing it away cuz it was sooo sticky!!

ohh those swirls r looking F I N E fine (now I have the urge to listen to some Aerosmith, lol).

Those are awesome Brenda!

Phew, thanks- I think I was about to give myself a heart attack here......

I cut the soap and am letting it cure but it's still sorta "rough" looking (I can't cut nor draw a straight line if my life depended on it dammit, lol). I wanted to try out the beveler that I got but am I too late? Should I have done it when I first cut the soap or do I wait until it's harded up?

ok borax is one thing that I have seen at Wal-Mart, lol.

maryann that is too too funny!!

I have never used lard or tallow but I think tallow is the fat from a chicken and lard is beef fat.

I saw a big bucket of lard in the meat area of my wal-mart once.

Ahhh- so thats why u say "lard ass" vs. "tallow ass" cuz beefs more fattening then chicken, well unless yer talking fried chicken. Ok ok I will shut up-hey it's been a long day......

I think those are good swirls-especially the one on the left.

Ok I'll fess up- I have no idea what tallow is- or lard for that matter.:embarasse I have heard of them but to go buy some I have no idea where to go. Can you get it at the grocery store? I looked in the oil section and didn't see any.

Just bumping up, I added pictures to my first post.

Nopers me either.
