I am trying to get through all the soaping info on these 2 threads...lots to absorb! I decided to give it a try and have my first ever batch of goat milk soap in the mold. I am hoping it turns out ok. Not real sure if I should let it go through the gel stage or not? Any thoughts, I only plan on making goat milk soaps because we raise dairy goats and milk is a plenty!
I would welcome any pointers, recipes, etc. on making goat milk soap.
Thank you so much,
Christie

Where do you all sell your soaps? I am relativley new to making soaps and have been selling through family and friends, chickenstocks/farm swaps, and the farm website mostly. Still pretty slow so today I posted ads on craigslist and an ebay auction to see how that does. Any other ideas? Thanks everyone

I use Kelsei Molds and don't line or spray anything on them.

re: Nancy Today ... my opinion ... a fun, creative woman, but I wouldn't use her method of soapmaking ... too haphazard, using dirty implements, pots, et al.

yes i do too for over 20 years i think...

as for spraying your molds, you dont need them for silicone molds if your doing cp dont either.. if your doing mp then just pop them into the freezer for 5 mins and then will slide out.. make sure if your using sprays that it doesnt contain any type of nuts..I am in the soap makers guild and if you need anything just ask, if i dont know i can get the answer for you
