Haslinger soaps, how are you using the pucks?

[SpeedyPC]

LMAO!!

my blue Salbei Haslinger: 60 by 20ish mm (shape is not perfectly round or even in thickness)

I have just grated two pucks of Haslinger Schalfmilch and pressed into a 100ml aluminium screw top tin, who would have thought you could compress 120 grams of soap into a 100ml tin?

That's where Specific Gravity comes i.e. Weighs more than water 1gramme/ millilitre.

Funny how postings like this get to my OCD.

Soap has a Specific Gravity of roughly .8 g/ml so 120g of soap will occupy a fully-compressed volume of 120 x .8 = 96ml

Pure OCD.....................

Wouldn't that imply that soap floats on water?

Ooo nice. I'm logging that in the old grey cells.

Soap: Float or Sink

Some soaps like ivory soap SG 0.9 can float on water but not ethanol. Most bar soap sinks in the basin of water therefore has a higher density of water i.e. In this case approximately SG 1.2 ..... 120g/100ml. Now going to lay down in a dark room.

Cool!
And since we are OCDing: the Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. It has no unit of measurement.
Density however is mass divided by volume and could be measured in g/ml.

I measure the specific gravity of my glazes with a hydrometer...

Correct! Mixing my concepts there. Density has units SG is a ratio.

What scale is that Twaddel or Baume?

 

[Roscotanna]

Baume

I've got mine sat in an old Proraso pot that I have used up. Sits in there quite happily, and saves me having to buy/make a new pot.

So buy some Proraso, and get a pot with some free soap!
