I figured you were using half, because guess what, I did the same thing when I started master batching, not just once, but twice. Glad to be of help. Laurie

Ooohhh...I love it!!!

http://soapmakingforum.com/forum/viewto ... r+batching Maybe this thread will help explain it. You can search master batching and find all the threads about this subject. From what you explained it sounds like you are not getting the amounts right. See if this helps until someone else...

Hi Chrissy...I receive videos from these people and this is the one that came this morning. In no way am I saying this is your son's problem, but it is interesting. The comments underneath are worth reading as well. http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2010/06/ ... itotoxins/ There are so many...

I should say I always have my lye solution mixed up ahead of time. You know 50%lye - 50% water and/or aloe vera juice. So if you want a 100% goat milk bar then you would have to add goat milk powder to your goat milk. HTH

Yes you can substitute the fresh for the canned. I use goat's milk in my recipes (which I have to buy from store). :cry: I RTCP and so I add my goat milk to my oils and then add the lye mixture. I have been soaping for 7 years and I have never had a burned batch. But I have everything at...

If some parts are darker, could it be that you got a partial gel? If so, then it is just fine to use. Just doesn't look that great.

Good job Ashley. I love them all. Laurie

Welcome Daniel. Please keep us posted and as everyone always says, we love pictures. Laurie

Yes and I have soaped 10% most of the time and with those same oils you mentioned Daniel and 1 - 2 years later, still no DOS. HTH. Laurie

If you are new to soaping then 38% for the water is great. You can always experiment with that later. Good luck. Hope you have fun. Laurie

Thank you both for your answers. Mike, that is what I was thinking to do. A little bit of figuring but it makes sense. :roll: Laurie

Lovely, and so unique. Laurie

If I was making up this recipe with my soap scraps which come from soap with a 5 - 10% superfat could I add a smidge of lye after it is all mixed up and let it sit for a few days. Or would this mess up the recipe? Hope you can understand my question? TIA. Laurie

I have ordered from them about 3 times and I have no complaints and now that they have no small order fee, bonus.

I have the Braun SB which I also got on sale for about $30. Got it at London Drugs about 5 years ago. Silly me I didn't realize until I read your post Surf girl that it twists apart. Bonus. Of course I probably don't make quite as much soap as the rest of you. Laurie

I really like the 'Chunder' soap. Thanks for showing pics. All's well that ends well. Laurie
