I’ll try and let you know 😊

Thankyou for your advice, very kind and helpful of you. Hopefully with some concentration ill get it right :)

Thanks Earlene! Do you think this can only be done when the soap has just been cut? Just wondering if it was possible to do after 6 weeks, but I would doubt it! Thanks again 😊 better than the video I had just found on the Internet.

That’s good news it’s only cosmetic but still annoying for me! :) I suppose I’m going to need to make sure I cover my loaf mould with a blanket or something! At the moment it is in a wooden frame an I cover it with a towel so it’s obvioukdy not enough! Yes, I like the colour too, I put a tiny...

Thankyou Isg, Dibbles and IslandSoap Now reading up on the this problem, I didn’t realise I had of choice of letting the soap gel or preventing it from gelling. Well I didn’t know that partial gelling existed! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thankyou!

You’re right

Thanks, do you know why that would have happened? The end slices have a smaller circle. Can I use it anyway or do I just throw it? So annoying as others made haven’t done this. Yes, you are right, there aren’t any circles on the end pieces, the the circle becomes larger towards the centre. I...

Does anyone know why this has happened on my soap? It’s now cured for 6weeks but there is a circle in the middle of the soap, some pieces have a larger circle. The soap is hard not soft and has a good lather. I used peppermint essential oil The recipe was 40 sat and 60 unsat.

Thank you! Big learning curve going on here! 😊

Yes, that sounds good, think I’ll go with 2 tablespoons as my oils are 800grms. Thank you 😊

Sorry! reading everything too quickly! Yes, all my recipes have had 27-29% lye concentration. So I’ll have a go at 33% thank you! 😊

That’s how I was shown in beginning so I’ve just carried on.... Also the soap calc. has 38% as water default so for a beginner I suppose its easier as it takes longer to trace? Maybe I should try the water default at 33% instead as you say, also if that’s the standard. 😄👍🏼

Thanks. Do you mind me asking - How much honey would you use per 100 grams of lye, I’m using 300 grams of water. Would a tablespoon be enough? Would I need to offset the quantity of honey with the oils? Sorry to ask so many questions!

Thank you very much - slowly slowly I’m coming round to trying it out! Just don’t want a volcano eruption! 😂 Will post my result as soon as it’s ready to cut. Thanks again

Thanks for your help, I’m going to have a think about doing this soap with honey - in the meantime think I’ll go for a simple recipe! 😂

Oh I see, so that will make it complicated if the oils are ready to have the lye added - as the lye temperature will increase... do you think it would be better to add the honey to the oils instead?

Thank you so much

Hi, I’m a beginner at soap making and would love to make some soap for the kids. Sorry but can I ask you what ppo means as I wouldn’t want to use too much of anything. Also when you are adding honey to cooled lye would that be at the temperature of between 95 and 110f ? Thank you 😊
