Hi!! I'll just get right into it:
1. I've noticed that a lot of fragrance oils tend to have low flashpoints ~110-120 degrees F. When doing hot process in a crock pot and adding the FOs in at the very end, how to I manage the temperature so that the fragrance doesn't burn off, but the soap doesn't harden before reaching the mold?
2. IYHO, which is better, a crock pot with low-high-keep warm temperature settings or a dial that lets you choose the actual degrees Fahrenheit?
3. I've noticed when I CPHP that a thin layer of soap sticks to the side and burns a bit, turning lighter and papery. It doesn't seem to affect the quality of the finished product, but the soap isn't one color anymore, it's swirled with the lighter soap. If there a way to prevent this...?
4. I've been cooking my HP's with the same amount of water I would for CP. Should I increase the amount...? I almost feel like I should double it!! <3
Thanks so much for answering my inane questions... you guys rock! <3
