Excellent reply and great in depth info! I thought the glycerin was a prerequisite for making any kind of soap. Ideally, I'd like it to have a gel like consistency so it sticks to and stays on vertical surfaces. I guess that's what the copolymer in the store bought stuff is for. It is meant to be brushed on. Anything organic like pectin will probably be broken down instantly by the KOH, more research seems to be in order.
Thank you and Mrs. Duck :)
