That's a relief! Thank you :)

I just finished my fourth batch of soap. I did one batch with multiple colours. I mixed the colours too much and they were quite gloppy when I put them in the mold. My second and third batch, I'd learned my lesson so mixed less and they turned out fine although I had to hurry to pour them and...

Hello from Ontario!

Thanks! Thank you, I can't wait! I am just an hour's drive or so away from you! Any place sell fun soap molds in Ottawa? I shopping trip might be in order :)

I put in my first order at Saffire Blue yesterday. I'm so excited :grin: Ordered all the neon colours and some fun fragrance oils like Sleigh Ride, Orange Pop!, Peppermint Swirl and French Pear. Some little wooden soap dishes to give with the soap for gifts, and the oils I needed, palm oil...

The soap was 120 degrees. Only the stick blender was steaming where the blade was.

I will :)

Ok, thank you!

Thank you, yes the blade was very hot when I took it out, it was steaming! Maybe it was air bubbles, I'll see if it happens again next time.

Crackling It's a metal shaft,the blade is not discoloured. I was mixing in a plastic bowl though. Weird.

I just made my first batch of soap today, using a cheap stick blender I bought at Walmart. While mixing my batch, I heard a crackling sound coming from the 'batter' when the blender was immersed (not the whole time though) and wonder if the blade from this blender is stainless steel after all...
