milk frother in soapmaking

[Kosam]

Does anyone use milk frother in soapmaking? If yes, then how do you do it and does it make sense to use it? Thanks

I ordered one from nurture to use when mixing colorants. I don't like to stick blend batter after adding colors and the mini mixer has helped with that. I just hand mix with a spatula for all but the very darkest now. I like it. I no longer see spots of mica or ac that didn't mix in well enough.

Depends on what you plan on using it for. I sometimes use one to mix my micas/colorants into oil. However, I don't use it to make soap. You need a stickblender for that. The frother doesn't have enough shear to make soap.

I killed my milk frother - then I got a Badger and its awesome.

I use it for dispersing colorants and clays into water or oils. Its way too small to sub as a stick blender, and it will introduce bubbles in M&P.

I use one to mix micas and other colorants.

I use to mix colorants and clays too. There so cheap and big difference from hand mixing, no more spots on my soap.

Badger paint mixers are great and hold up well

Yes, they do indeed. ^^^^ I love my Badgers (I have 2). They are awesome for mixing colorants, and also for bringing my soap batter to trace when I make my 8oz test batches that are too small to stick-blend with my regular stick-blender.
