"The big picture and the details" according to Stephanie Bruce. An excellent book which answers the questions I was wondering most aboutboth the details and the big picturesuch as "what does the contents in the pan look like at different stages? What are the properties of the various ingredients? How do they react under different circumstances? This is a beautiful book also - the second one I own by Failor. Being a graphic designer myself, with a definite scientific "bent," this seems to be an ideal text for me - helps me make more sense of my cold-processing soap books also - it's just th.

However, procedures used are extremely time-consuming and require a lot of hands-on work. Basically, they're industrial techniques adapted for home use. Entirely different from making cold process bar soaps. Even for experienced hot process soap makers, at least Not for beginners, unless they like chemistry.

There is a lot of good stuff to learn in here though
