anabanana's candles Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 It is solid, but still kinda soft. It is 85% OO and 15% pko. 33% lye solution. It has a nice rich lather already though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 a couple of months - same as any other castile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I use it right away, might be soft but I still use it. I am of the thinking that if it's HP then it's done when it's hard enough to cut. Since I only make and use for myself then I couldn't say what to do if you plan on selling. By the time I am through with my first bar the others have hardened up quite a bit. If by curing you mean, how long does it take to get hard, I really don't have a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaVSoap Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 As already stated, you can use it right away, but it gets so much nicer after a long cure!! I make CPHP or OHP castile (100% castile) for DH. In his words, "it's better after it sits around for a while". He's so technical :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 My castiles sit for a minimum of 6 months before I sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
