Tested the soap it is amazing, but doesn’t last long due to the high superfat. I believe with my typical usage each bar might last one week.

I suspect that or air bubble trapped underneath, there was a lot of air bubbles.
If your gonna make it, it must be high superfat otherwise from what I heard it will be unusable (too drying).

1·7 months agoYou forgot the crystallization of the soap structure is part of the curing. The soap could be hard and water all evaporated, but the soap could still be arranging in a crystal structure. I noticed that the soap in the soap that I made before that the longer it cures the better the lather, even if all the water evaporated.

3·8 months agoUpdate I mixed it for more than 40 minutes and I got not trace using a hand mixer and I didn’t pulse I used it the full 40 minutes, I decided to heat in a double boiler for a few minutes to speed up the process then I mixed it a little again and poured it. The last few parts of the mixture seems to have reached medium trace. Will it be okay?

3·8 months agoUnfortunately I can’t measure the impurities since I made it myself and I use tap water also. But we have a filter on it.

2·8 months agoI use the zap test, my olive oil, palm olien, and coconut soap worked, but was too drying so I thought about trying tallow. What do you think about 40% lye concentration, is it good?

3·8 months agoAccording to this person the impurities will affect the reaction so the super fat value should be lower.

3·8 months agoI am going to use essential oils, also the lye and oil reaction removes the smell. When I made a soap that is 44% Olive oil, it first had a very strong olive oil smell, but it went away as it cured.

31·8 months agoThis is why I superfat my soap, to make sure this doesn’t happen. Normally I superfat 5%, though I could increase it to account for impurities.

2·3 years agoRevaned is truly a great application. So many useful uses never thought I would use it for reddit.

Actually it supports 24 SAS drives and only has two ports, seems to have an expander.
