Title: No Fail Soap
Categories: Soap *
Yield: 24 Bars
2 | | Cans Crisco (3 lb cans) |
12 | oz | Red Devil lye |
2 | c | Water |
Take the Crisco and place it into an enamel ware pan and place on stove to
melt and heat. Take the two cups of cold water and place into glass bowl
only slowly add lye while stirring with a wooden spoon (use wood only).
Stir until water is clear if you can due to fumes from the lye do this
outside. When the Crisco and lye are warm to the touch feel outside of pan
and glass. Pour lye into Crisco while stirring. Keep stirring until you get
trace. Trace is when it thickens to a sort of cake frosting look or until
you can drop some of the mix back in to itself and it leaves a trail at
this point use any herbs or coloring (shaving a crayon into it will give it
color) and stir and pour into any plastic molds you have around. Let set 24
hours turn out and cut. Place on to newspaper and let cure for two weeks.
