Hi Members! Since entering the soaping world I find myself with a garage. When it's hot outside does is effect the soap? The last few batches I've made have...
What I have noticed is that when I make soap in the summer it seems to take longer to "set up" and dry before I can cut it (I use log molds). But, we don't...
Karen, Hey girlfriend that helps alot! That is what my soap has done, it gets almost stuck in the mold (I use vertical). When I'm finally able to get it out,...
I usually use the MMS calc and use just under the largest amount of water recommended. I suppose with the humidity it just doesn't evaporate? What do I know...
Hi, Ladies... I usually discount the water quite a bit, and find there is less shrinkage in my soap and it seems to be ready to unmold faster. I used wooden...
How much do you discount Alaena? I've always been a bit afraid to go less that I do now. I do soap at fairly cool temps, mostly room temp or a bit higher....
Hi, Connie... I can't tell you what percentage I discounted, at this point... but looking at some of my recipes, it looks like I used approximately 24 oz. of...
Hi Alaena; I've used lots of dumb (unusual) things in my soap; chicken, duck, pheasant, peacock and emu egg, (can you tell I like egg soap?) butter, and even...
Hey Connie, Looks like Aleana is using 56 oz liquid (24 + 32 oz milk) to 23.5 oz lye. I use 29oz lye with 52 and 54 oz water regularly for my 12 lb-of-oil...
Connie, What, if anything, do you think the egg contributes to the soap??? When I first started making soap I added eggs; it turned out a very pretty yellow...

Hi Kathy, Could you tell me more about your plexiglass mold? Like, where did you get it and was it super expensive? Also, what do you mean by "moving nicely"...
Don't know; maybe it's a head thing. Every soap I've used egg in seems a bit richer, creamer and milder. Makes for a great facial soap. Egg yolk is full of...
ok, Kathy, now you brought up a whole new subject; how much lecithin do you add ppo? And you mix it right in with the oils and the fo? I got some of this, but...
Hi Rita! Salt in soap, as Kathy describes using it, helps to produce a hard bar. It's also a natural water softener so it helps produce bubbles, especially in...
Okay, I have a question re. molds. I've heard of molds made with "plexiglass" and molds made with "acrylic" and people say that you don't have to line these...
I only made one test batch of soap with egg yolks 5 years ago and can't remember anything about it except the color, sorry. Do you use the white too? Now a...
Yep, with the emu egg, I just whipped it all together and froze it up in 2 oz containers. They do have a lot more yolk that white, unlike the chicken egg. And...
Hey, what properties does Egg add to the soap? And, when do you add it? I've had several customers ask me for an egg based soap lately and that's one critter...
