I know how you feel. This was my Tuesday.

So I figured out the hardway next time I use a pringles can to LINE IT WITH FREEZER PAPER!! It developed a big bubble in the middle so about 3 inches were not perfect "pucks". Other than that, it looks nice and smells even better.

For my salt bars I do

80% CO
20% mango or shea

20%Superfat
and use .75 lb of salt for each pound of oil.

Oh, beware, you will have to pour and cute these suckers in about 3-4 hours or else they get to hard and crumble.

Thanks Morgaine,

I was given a recipe and made the bars yesterday. They sure are pretty but, turned out completely different than I had imagined. I used Rose Petal Mica and my bars came out white. I also used a Red Rose & Thyme and Champagne FO's and the bars smell like Eucalyptus. Go figure. It's wait and see now. I let the soap sit for five and a half hours and it practically jumped out of the mold. I have never had a soap do that before. I sliced one bar into sample so I could look at it and try it out at different stages.

The picture is darker than the actual soap.

I'm assuming you are using sea salt...not regular table salt with iodine.

 

[MSDeb]

Yes, the Himalayan Sea Salt.

Hope you all had a merry Christmas! I got a soap mold from my fiance! It's an 18 bar tray mold...I can't wait to use it.

I too got some soap molds for Christmas!! I have a quick question. I had a friend who has given me cans of goats milk vitamin D evaporated milk. I want to use it in soap don't want to waste it... I read somewhere not to use as much as you would regular goat milk. I normally split my recipe with water and goat milk now wondering how much of the evaporated goat milk to use...
Thanks for your help!!!
