Thank you. It has lost its color a bit, lightened up, but I still like it. Can't wait to test it in March or so.

And thank you too! Yes. Just earlier, I prepared another batch for 2 molds, but a different recipe. This time I didn't need help from my partner though I think it takes me much longer to do the same things a lot of other people do on this forum, including other newbies.

I did find out by doing my second batch that I am blending for too long into thick trace when I don't want to. Getting frosting-like consistency when I don't want to/need to. Makes things more challenging to pour when it's not needed. But, I think it is just going to take practice...

I will probably update later on in the forum with my second batch. It is a black tea and oats soap. I added what I hope to be an appropriate amount of fragrance, 2%. I followed the max usage for soap the manufacturer printed, and went just under it.

Thanks again

[QUOTE="user 64439, post: 1026237, member: 64439"] Thank you. It has lost its color a bit, lightened up, but I still like it. Can't wait to test it in March or so. And thank you too! Yes.
