    Glycerin rivers or lye heavy?

    https://vm.tiktok.com/J29SHX7/ This is a link to the making of the soap. You can see that I thoroughly mix the lye water in with my oils and I mixed the micas in by hand and with my blender so I am pretty sure it was mixed enough. I will do a zap test in 2 days just to be sure though.

    Glycerin rivers or lye heavy?

    Glycerin rivers or lye heavy?

    It seems like this year sucks in general even for my soap making. I keep having new problems pop up, I've never seen this before in my soaps and I'm just making sure that it's not a lie issue.

    I need some basic info on tools

    Both of the scales are accurate to 1g but the second one can hold up to 15 pounds so if you plan on doing a lot of soap later that would be the better choice. A thermometer is absolutely necessary. As far as the stick blender goes royalty soaps has some really good options. If you watch her...

    Ricing!

    I have been making soap for over a year now and have not come across any problems. That being said I had some issues with ricing today, I didn't blend it out (as I have not dealt with this before) and just put it into my loaf mold. Will I be able to use this soap or am I going to have to rebatch...
