I'm glad you like them! I am making a new video that shows the cold-process technique. Cold Process bars are prettier. I will post the new video in mid-May, as soon as I get some nice footage of a lather test! Thanks for watching!
@@rossydv thank you! I got them from a Walmart, I think they were intended to be used as food storage containers. Thank you so much for the comment. Yes the crock pot does speed the cure time, allowing me to use the soap in just about a week vs the cold process (where I would cure the soap for about 6 weeks) so with the crock pot soap I can be less patient hehe Thank you so much for the kind compliment! I will be making NEW soap video soon as I can.
What makes one choose a hot process vs a cold process? What are the advantages or disadvantages of these for help in understanding what one is choosing to do, please? [7.6.2024]
Both hot and cold processes have their merits in soap making. The hot process involves cooking oils and lye to accelerate saponification, yielding a quicker result, while the cold process allows for more intricate designs and customization with a slower curing time. I have a cold process video too. Click Here: th-cam.com/video/s_FZKcThwMo/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
I used an online soap calculator, lyecalc.com . It calculated how much water and lye based on the amount and type of fats. Note: I also adjusted the superheat %. Please see the description for more details on this video. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a great video showing the processes. Love the rustic look, those are some unique molds.

Fantastic video. ZERO wasted time.
Does the crockpot speed up curing?

You should use activated charcoal.

How much water and NaOH?
