  1. I just read it, and it is great information. Thank you all so much. I will see how my soap will come out in 4 weeks and let you all know.
  2. Thank you for all that information Supa Star. I thought PKO was not too different from PO. I have done so much reading and still so much too learn. Like I said it was too late by the time I learned how to use soapcalc. Do I trash the soap? Thank you again for the information. I think I am going to be a little more careful with my experiments for now on.
  3. here are the oils: almond sweet oil 2oz avocado oil 2 oz castor oil 3 oz. coconut oil 12 oz virgin olive oil 9oz palm kernel oil 12 oz safflower oil 9oz shea butter 2oz tola 51oz.
  4. I know that I am a newbie, but I like experimenting, hey, why not? just once in blue moon.... It was blue yesterday..... Not only did I tried RTCP, but I also made my own recipe and I used a 3" pipe , puff, puff... My main complaint is that the soap is a little soft to the touch. I added one teaspoon of sodium lactate to the lye (I read it suppose to make soap harder). The process was fine, I am wondering if my recipe was whack. I was trying to use the soapcalc, but couldn't quite figured out. Now after patiently taking a look at it, I know how to work it out, little late. this is part of what I did with it: 19 oz. of aloe vera juice 7.3oz. lye 1 teaspoon of sodium lactate, 1.9 oz fo #√Oil/Fat%PoundsOuncesGrams 1Almond Oil, sweet3.920.125256.6992Avocado Oil3.920.125256.6993Castor Oil5.880.188385.0484Coconut Oil, 76 deg23.530.7512340.1945Olive Oil17.650.5639255.1466Palm Kernel Oil/Flakes23.530.7512340.1947Safflower Oil17.650.5639255.1468Shea Butter3.920.125256.699 Totals1003.188511445.825 Hardness 29 - 54 42 Cleansing 12 - 22 30 Conditioning 44 - 69 51 Bubbly 14 - 46 35 Creamy 16 - 48 17 Iodine 41 - 70 62 INS 136 - 165 148 Lauric 22 Myristic 8 Palmitic 9 Stearic 3 Ricinoleic 5 Oleic 28 Linoleic 17 Linolenic 0
  5. :rolleyes2 I think I found the answer to my question. I did a little research around the board and found the rules about co-ops for newbies. Thank you.
  6. This subject is new to me, I am fairly new to this forum. Could you please inform me about Dirtybird's co-op. Thank you, EMP
  7. This is the recipe; 9.4 crisco 6 olive oil 6 coconut 8 water 3 lye 9 fragrance all in oz. is one of Sandy of Maine recipes from a site. The lye was a lower in temp. than the oils ( i became distracted with the oils) but everything was about 99* to 110*
  8. duh!! I knew that. I fired my brain. The economy, I couldn't afford the salary, insurance, and cost of living.
  9. I decided for now on, to make only small batches. I made this batch, and everything was ok until I added the FO (Dragons Blood) my DH favorite smell. Now my hands smell like it. As soon as it went into the mixture started setting up. I tried to work really fast and transferred it to the mold. Will the soap be any good? What should I do when I am in this situation again? Should I just put the FO in the mix and use a spoon instead of the mixing stick? You know, I have done a lot......... of reading. Is not like I am just asking questions. I even bought to books. I just want soap.........
  10. Don't be sorry, I was just kidding!!! my soap is soap today, because of you guys.
  11. :whistle: No, the question is, how long do I have to wait for the batch that I (rebatched) did to cure? I loveeeeee the smily faces. I am just kidding, of course!!!
  12. I want to buy a book for CPSM, but I can't make up my mind, because there are so many . I would like to know your opinion before I do so. Also, how long do I have to wait for the soap to cure after rebatching?
