HOME MADE SOAP

[FLORIDA SNAREMAN]

how many of you make your own soap, did you know that coon fat makes some of the best soap you will ever use. I save my very best fat from my coons and boil it in clean water and let it set over night the next morning all the impurities will have settled to the bottom and the good stuff will be congealed at the top you take that and you can make some excellent soap if you fellows are interested let me know and I will post my recipe for all..........

okay here is the recipe... 6 pounds of coon fat, 14 ounces of coconut oil, 3/4 cup of olive oil, 12oz can of red devil lye dissolved in 2-3/4 cups of water.... melt coon fat and add coconut oil and olive oil and stir until completely dissol;ved. take lye and add to the water and stir until completely dissolved this solution will get very hot, then pour it very slowly in the oil and stir steady until it starts to get thick pour in empty milk carton and let sit up for a week once it has set up peal carton off and you will have the best soap, the cocnut oil really adds lather to the soap while the olive oil and coon fat is good for your skin..... always use stainless steel pots because lye is very caustic I use a wooden spoon to stir with..

Interesting... My wife makes me laundry detergent for hunting and such. I'm not into the smelly stuff but like balsam fir and my fav cedar. So those are a couple she does for me.
