I took a bar of castile and grated it and added 4 cups of water and heated it up. when I let it cool off it went back to being sorta solid. so I heated it backup and added more water. when it cooled down it went back to being to solid to put in hand pumps it would be too gooey. so I heated it up again and added more water. it is cooling now. am I doing something wrong to get it to be a liquid?? or just not adding enough water??? any one make this before?? need some advice...
In the recipe I read they said add 1 gallon of distilled water to every 4oz of soap. That seems like alot of water.. Hugs, Hannah

P.s. I've been playing around with the spelling of my name ( weird I know) and I've decided that I will stick with Hannah for good. Sorry I got you all confused. Hugs!!
It did to me to and the first time I used it I used a gallon and I used dove soap. it was kinda not soapy enough. This time I used the castile and finally at the end probably used 3/4 of a gallon and it is still to gooey to use in a pump. so I am going to have to add water still ,. so I guess the gallon would have been better with this soap... work in progress I guess...

i think that most liquid soaps are cooked to death and have alcohol in them to keep the pump from clogging from the soap gelling up. would love to know if you figure out how to do this. happy days sherrye
