First time with ricing.

loriag · May 6, 2018

I thought I would try a confetti soap for the first time today. I shredded my intended confetti, prepared my batter and added my FO. The FO than lumped, I SB it in, but I am not sure I got all the lumps. And now that it is a confetti soap will I be able to tell? It has a bottom 1/2 of confetti and a smooth top half. What happens if I do not get it all blended in? Will the final product be usable? It surprised me and I got nervous as it sped up SB it. I have used this FO (Monkey Farts) from the same supplier before it behaved fine the first time. The confetti was a different recipe than the main batter. The only other difference was that the batter had both ROE and EDTA in it and did not the first time I used Monkey Farts. Thoughts?

Ricing can be such a bear. Monkey Farts gave me horrible ricing the one and only time I've made it. I ended up tossing it as I couldn't even get it together putting it on heat. It should be fine if you got it to trace.

I'd just wait and see.

Years ago when I was soaping I got ricing. It was my recipe + FO . Sometimes you win, sometimes the Rice wins .

They look ok to me, here is hoping, there were just a couple teeny tiny specks that looked kinda orange. Here is the cut.

They look really pretty. Prettier than any confetti soap I make.

Thanks cmzaha, I really like the look as well. I would do it again, just not with Monkey Farts FO! I am slowly getting the hang of figuring out how to do designs that I see on the internet.
