two questions

this might be a bit dumb but is the time on the forum wrong? it says its 10:49 at the moment, and it's only 8:49?

Also, I added a signature, but it's not showing. is it broken? have I done something wrong?

You can set your own timezone, if you go to your profile and select I think it's Preferences... you're in Melbourne right? Set it for GMT + 10.

I'll look into the signature thing, make sure I have it enabled in the forum settings.

i think i fixed it... testing???

woohoo! sorry about that, I didn't realise it wasn't enabled in the control panel.

Why ?????if you use caustic soda and soda ash together with tallow you can add much more water and it still gives a hard bar E.g
lye calculator 700gr tallow 100gr lye 230ml water
my experiment 550 gr tallow 50 caustic 50 soda ash and 1000ml water it goes into trace same time as normal recipe ??????????
