I put my sugar in with my oils and always have. works beautifully for me!Planning to make soap today for the first time in TWO YEARS! (Except for the soap dough last week) I’m so nervous! I just mixed my lye water and realized I forgot to dissolve my sugar in the water first. Is there any way to save it? My recipe needs it for lather?
So, if you “mess up,” welcome to the world of being human. You can make more!I'm so excited! Nervous I'll mess it up.
I've done it a couple of times and for some reason, I didn't notice difference. Even though according to many sources sugar is not supposed to be oil soluble. I guess it just melts with the oils and that way works tooI put my sugar in with my oils and always have. works beautifully for me!
Glad you got the giggle - I almost always intend my “rants” to provide comic relief.Awwww @dmcgee5034 those look fantastic to me! And I feel really badly for giggling at what you wrote (but you made it funny!) when I know the disappointment of planning something out like that, only have it all go sideways. Here's hoping that you got it all out of your system in one swell foop, as my pa likes to say.
Paprika and turmeric look identical in CP soap batter... Halloween blaze orange. Makes it very difficult to distinguish between the two when trying to swirl.Tumeric is wild the way it changes color in cp soap
I cut a silicon mat to fit into my little Amazon mold(that really hurt my heart) and just made up a tiny bit of soap to spread over it. I think I 2 ounces which was WAY too much. Then divided my recipe into 3 parts for layers(which calculated wrong and needed a 4th). Honestly, if had found my dividers, iwas gonna try Buffalo plaid layers and kill 2 birds with one stone lol. Still mightOh my land, that knit soap is amazing! Please, can you explain to me how you make it? As far as I can tell, I'd just size a fondant mat to the bottom of my mold and pour soap over the top of it, but you're talking about layers... Yours is gorgeous!

I already tried that.Rub the bar with a gloved hand and see if that smoothes it

I figured it out, though. I just tested my new stickblender and whadayaknow, the internal seal isn't working properly. I hope I can still return it. This is only the second batch of soap I've made with it.
Ugh that stinks. Glad you figured it outI already tried that.
