I tried to make a face soap today and made a mistake the recipe wasn’t written for a master batch but I read it that way. Wasn’t until batter wouldn’t go to full trace that I realized the mistake
Did you add in the extra lye solution needed?I tried to make a face soap today and made a mistake the recipe wasn’t written for a master batch but I read it that way. Wasn’t until batter wouldn’t go to full trace that I realized the mistake
Nice hubby!! Does he have to go out and buy the wood or does he have a stash?Today, I remembered how much I hate using freezer paper to line molds I've been spoiled by my silicone-lined boxes. But it is nice that my husband can throw together a wood box for me when I need a specific size for something.
He usually has a stash but he did have to go buy some this time because he used his scraps He’s already got a project for some of the leftovers.Nice hubby!! Does he have to go out and buy the wood or does he have a stash?
Are you able to use molybdenum or b-12? sometimes they can help.. especially if you are sensitive to sulfites. Sure hope you feel better real soon!I’ve been dealing with an asthma exacerbation lately, so am unable to make soap until I feel better. I may still try and just wear a mask. I need to make soap!!
I take a multi-vitamin daily. My goal is to just wear a mask and try a light fragrance this weekend.Are you able to use molybdenum or b-12? sometimes they can help.. especially if you are sensitive to sulfites. Sure hope you feel better real soon!
I can laugh because I am guilty of the same exact thing! Only I can't even blame it on being at work ~ I was literally melting butters and oils together to make soap and forgot to turn on heat I kept stirring but the chunks weren't melting and I couldn't figure out why! Talk about a senior moment, I just couldn't help but laugh at myself which only made my hubby curious so I had to confess it to himI just sat stirring oils in my crockpot to try making a soap paste for an hour, I couldn’t figure out why the coconut oil wasn’t melting. It always helps if you plug it in!
Maybe I shouldn’t soap while I’m at work!!!!!
That fragrance is a fave & accelerates for me as well. I add it to the warm oils before adding the lye solution to combat acceleration.Made ZNSC and scented with BBs Sandalwood Vanilla yesterday. Unmolded today and is curing. The scent is pretty nice, it did accelerate the batch.
I just bought a trial size bottle of this during BB’s sale they just had. It does smell good! Good to know it accelerates.That fragrance is a fave & accelerates for me as well. I add it to the warm oils before adding the lye solution to combat acceleration.
Pretty tops! Looking forward to the cut!I made 2 batches of soap today since I was up early - made both and did all the soapy dishes before noon!
First one is the purple one - DHs favorite scented with NS Peace & Love.
The other is a drop swirl with a white base with 6 neons and black oxide dropped in. It is scented with NS Grapefruit & Bergamot, which was a dream to soap with. Sooooo much time to play!
Will post pics of the cut at a later date, but here’s the tops to hold you over with bonus photos in the background of our pups and grandpup
