    Slowing down trace

    Need to know more about what oils and scents you are using. Some scents like rose can speed up trace quickly . I try not to mix my oils and lys tell they're down to 80°. I have a found adding some of your fragrance oil to the oils before you add your lye to the oils helps.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I made a great hand & body lotion last night. It is called Lavender & Cucumber Melon and I just put some on my hands as it had to sit overnight to cool and thicken. It turned out great, the feel is not overly greasy either. It has some great oils in it like Shea Butter, Sweet Almond, Avocado.

    I just got done making a apple cider cold process soap. It uses apple cider in place of the water, and I add a little ginger, and a little peppermint scent. No need to add any colors to the soap as it comes out a beautiful brown Apple cider color.

    Troubleshooting

    She did not burn long enough on her first burn. This is the most important burn as candle wax has a memory and so you need to have a complete burn pool to the outside of the glass. It takes about 1 hour per diameter, so a 3" candle needs about 3 hrs on it's first burn.
