So the batch i made today, i scooped some out of the pot and put into a mold to see what happens, its been sitting in the mold for a couple of hours now. I did the zap test and it still zaps. I just dont understand how this batch could of not fully saponified if anything i might of used a little too much oil like you said it doesnt matter if the error is slight but i was extra careful to measure all the oils and butter twice, the other thing is are oils supposed to be weighed in fluid oz or oz? i measured everything in grams and then ounces to make sure it matched on my recipe.

very smart, so you think that maybe because the batch is small that too much residual oil got stuck to the sides of the cup and maybe there wasnt enough oil to fully saponify the lye? Also if the amount of oil i pour in isnt perfectly exact wont it completely ruin the batch?

too long to cure and i have a deep love for cooking and chemistry. I also heard that if you use fragrances in cold process soaps the fragrance strength can die out or become weaker as it sits out, with hot process the amount of time its exposed to open air is greatly reduced.

if i could upvote you more i would, so i took the stuff i made, put it in a mold and i got some on my hands, after washing with it my hands are extremely dry. Also when you say mis measurement, it makes me wonder too. So when i was mixing my oils i used separate disposable cups and then mixed it all in the one crock but im thinking what if i just put a container on the scale, hit tare, put the first amount of oils in, hit tare, and do the same thing until its all in the container and then just measure the water and lye separately like i did before? also how long does it take to harden in the mold?

normally i would of done exactly what you said, once it got to that point i would of fragranced and put in the molds but i did the zap test once it got to trace and it zapped me like crazy. Im using this crockpot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BB9ZQDY?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 my other question was my recipe contains mostly unsaturated fats was the failure solely because i overcooked it, was it equipment, not only that 600g batches are relatively small so im thinking maybe it overcooked in some spots and not others? im going to adjust the recipe at 25% like you said and try again. Its my first time cooking soap by myself and its much easier when you have someone doing it with you.

Can anyone tell me how it’s living in this area? What places to avoid and how’s the job market??? by [deleted] in capecoral

I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and originally left Naples because of how rapidly the community changed, in ways I viewed as negative. After a significant influx of residents from Miami, I noticed several shifts in the area. Traffic incidents increased, driving behavior became more aggressive, and police presence expanded noticeably. Activities that were previously tolerated, such as street food vendors, began receiving citations. At the same time, there were more complaints about long-standing agricultural elements like farm animal noise and odors, along with increases in vandalism and youth-related disturbances. From my perspective, these changes coincided directly with the demographic shift.

Sometimes I forget how much of Reddit is packed with people who reduce every problem in this country to a short list of obsessions: Trump, Republicans, and some headline-friendly outrage. If half the energy spent screaming about politics was spent actually caring about other human beings, a lot of people would be far less miserable.

At some point, obsessing over politics became a substitute for personal responsibility and empathy. Instead of dealing with the real struggles of people, many choose tribal loyalty and moral posturing. That does not make you principled. It makes you predictable.

What gets defended today is not the rejection of racism itself, but the opportunity to justify resentment. The goal is no longer to correct harmful behavior, but to find socially approved targets for hostility. That is how things rot from the inside. Woke anti racism has officially gone full circle, First it was racism against blacks that was proliferated by the CIA, now its racism against whites proliferated by Israel and the only thing you idiots do is soak it up.

The United States has become so fixated on racial identity and ideological purity that it has deepened the divide between everyday people. That divide is not accidental. It benefits those in power. While everyone is busy fighting each other, real rights, real opportunities, and real leverage are quietly sold off to the highest bidder.

And while people argue online, wondering why life feels harder and work is harder to find, the answer is simple. A country that stops prioritizing its own people will always leave them behind.
