Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Mine was about 5 min. of stirring, both stick and whisk. I wish I would have timed it, but didn't think to. Both are as I would have expected. Beth Byrne http://www.SoapAndGarden.com Garden goodness in every bar! www/SoapandGarden.blogspot.com Like Soap and Garden on Facebook & Twitter!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I finally took out the soap and it really looks like " a green sponge soap " lol...that's the only way i can describe it. I took pictures also.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think you're right. I just made a second batch again just in case last night. I checked this morning and dipped my finger really quick and it was like green pudding still (grapeseed oil). Think I'll wait until the weekend to actually unmold it. ________________________________ From: Gelnett <angelicglow@...> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 9:35 PM Subject: Re: Single Oil Soap Swap  It's soft.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 wow all of the soaps sound like fun. in a weird sort of mad since kind of way. I was thinking, CAN one actually make soap out of shea?? wasn't someone doing shea?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Yes, someone is doing shea! I have never made 100% shea, but know of others who have and love it. Shea does saponify, but has a good percentage that does not, so it's probably a very emollient soap. We'll find out!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 warning! no one make 100% canola. lol I think it hates me. I have been mixing it (mostly stick blender on high with a bit of stirring so I don't over heat it) for half an hour now. It just will not trace. Currently and throughout a magority of the time It has looked like buttermilk. that is it. nothing more. I am wondering if it will ever thicken up. I am used to things tracing in 5 minutes or so. this is really killing me. > > > ** > > > > > > wow all of the soaps sound like fun. in a weird sort of mad since kind of > > way.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Maybe that oil won't trace like you'd traditionally think. As long as the water and oil aren't separating when you stop stirring it for a minute it should be good to go. ~ Trina Sent from my iPhone On Aug 27, 2011, at 11:50 AM, " K Bear Creations " <Koalas_boutique@...> wrote: > warning! no one make 100% canola. lol I think it hates me.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 hopefully you are correct. An hour later I got something that resembled a decent level of trace and molded it. We will see what happens. It was still a bit runny and I will be happy if it doesn't come out of the seems of the mold. lol but it finally thickened some and came to a REALLY light trace. > > > > > > > ** > > > > > > > > > > > > wow all of the soaps sound like fun. in a weird sort of mad since kind of > > > > way.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 well it took FOREVER to trace but the canola hardened nicely. 24 hours later I was able to unmold it and my liners pulled right off which like never happens. Normally I have to freeze soap and slide the liners off without the soap sticking to it. I sliced it and looks like either creamy havarti, limberger or other soft cheese but firmer then cream cheese. as matter of fact i teased and joked with my parents asking if they wanted any havarti or limburger cheese.
