I want to make this soap ,, i havent made soap in over a year.. i am trying to figure out how to transfer this batch into a bigger batch like a 3lb batch and in ounces? can someone help me?? or point me to the rite caluclator that can help me? thank you:)

I live in south louisiana and had several request for the scent sweet olive like a the sweet olive trees that are in bloom right now. Ive tried olive blossom from i think peaks way back and thats not it. any one know of any scent i would be forever grateful and so would my customers!! thanks

pssst... I hate to do votives.... i know math:cheesy2:

I recieved a call today from a local church wanting 450 votives for christmas.(theyve ordered before) I was wanting opinions.... i was thinking about talking her into just candle poured in votive holder... instead of making votives. i dont have that many votive holders just about 50. just opinions.. thanks tracy

Heres update: This actually turned out well, its hardening up nicely, think it will be fine, ive used it and it lathers like crazy. I really like it! I think i will try another batch. when i get a chance i will add a pic.

doing the bump

Ive seen this on a few threads... talking about olive oil i think. what does it mean??

yes the 2nd olive is lye.. maybe thats what i read, slowing trace... I made 2 logs, the first one i took out and cut this morning was soft. i just took out the 2nd log and it was starting to gel.. maybe i should of left them in the mold longer. this was an exact recipe from the latherings board entitled sherrys fantastic soap. i just followed it exactly. i hope it hardens too!

I got this recipe on millers soap site and gave it a try: 24 oz canola 18 oz coconut 6 oz cocoa butter 6 oz castor 16 oz olive 9.8 olive 22 oz water 5 oz bergamot and ginger FO water lye temp were 90 degrees(got sidetracked) I read that citrus oils slow down curing. i usually peek in on my soap after 8 or so hrs, and when i did it was not as hot as it usually is. did this last nite and this morning it was still soft. was able to come out of the mold but i cuts like fudge soft fudge. I never had soap this soft before. I hope its not ruined, cause thats a lot of product to waste. any sugestions. please tell me it will be ok:confused: And if there is any thing i can do to save it if its not ok. thanks tracy
