A Pictorial Guide to Soap Making

[firecrest]

Great tutorial that, I never realised soap was still caustic after its been made.

Did you know under special circumstances a corpse can undergo saponification. They end up as a perfectly preserved human shaped bar of soap.

Cheers, Red. I have got around 2 litres of nettle-ish soap made today, very simple to do too, although thought I had messed up something, as trace just wasn't for happening even with a stick blender. So I plopped the lot in to the blender proper and blasted it for a while.. that worked.. So, tomorrow or next day I'll cut the soap and the wait begins.. Cheers for this, I really enjoyed making it.

Glad you enjoyed it

Trace is wierd. I've had it take several hours. The stick blender or constant stirring certainly helps.

Try adding pine tar. It traces in a nanosecond!
