When the Lye and Fats mix the lye is neutralized and no longer harmful, your skin is about a 5.5Ph and lye is about 13 or 14ph...when it is neutralized it is about 6-8.

What makes the lye in soap not dangerous to rub on your skin?

I hope the people at the store were nice. I mean it's their job to cut stuff for people and they get paid.

After unmolding my soap is cracking while cutting, so I cant cut neatly, also inbetween the cracks is looking grainy. What does this mean, should this soap be thrown away? help

Won't pouring hot soap into plastic lining create a chemical reaction where chemicals from the plastic will get into your soap? (If you microwave in plastic, chemicals from the plastic get into your food.) Isn't there a safe alternate where you can still get the soap out? (If you use glass, it'll stick. If you don't line with plastic, it'll stick.)

I use wax paper and I really like it.

Mold is spelled mold (mould is what you find on old cheese).

[LynnsVidz]

Both spellings are correct for both definitions. Mold is the US version!

I use plastics from various products, such as pies, muffins etc as moulds. It often makes interesting shapes. I make also bath melts in it. I don't use vaseline at all, it gets easily out.

[doloresbell]

Vaseline? why?

[AngelYukiYumi]

So the soap will come out of the mold.

just like grease on a cookie sheet so the cookies won't stick. But because shortining is a fat, it will turn into soap when the lye touches it. So she uses vaseline.
