jazzbo848 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 it is almost impossible to get a soap recipe down pat for a newbie (and i am a newbie but have been reading for a year and have made about 7 batches so far) without trying the recipes out.what process are you going to use?for instructions on the various methods, the instructions on the lleft panel on this site on very good.why are you using the oils that you have chosen? there is a font of knowledge about oils and butter on cathy miller's site:http://www.millersoap.com/like candles, you need to test your recipes.cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabulousfunfur Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Thanks for your responses.I picked those oils because they are the ones I have on hand......What kind of molds do most people put their shampoo bars in? A wooden or log loaf type, or individual cutsy types? Loaf mold cut with a wavy knife? zig zag kind of.....Round? Thanks all.........
