BUMP for tonight. :)
Working fine today. Much thanks
two strange. i am in sarasota today. i brought all my soap making materials here.
this is my third time.
i made my life a little easier by buying candy thermometer.and scale .
you can by 100% lye from lowes on aisle where draino is. small circle says 100% lye. i used olice oil coconut and canola oil. i added pinch of salt.
read read about lye. add lye to water not the other way around.
One more thing: Can I use the cheap olive oil or is there a significant difference in the final product with extra virgin?
There will not be any difference between soaps made with regular olive oil and extra virgin olive oil. If you use pomace olive oil be warned it comes to trace much faster then other olive oils.
Looks tasty! :)
I’ve been toying with the idea of soap making, but wish I could find a super simple recipe with easy steps. This process seems intimidating to me.
