    Oily Rebatching Problem

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will attach the proper recipe below. It was a 4lb batch, was meant to be a part of some Christmas baskets. I separated the liquid using a cheesecloth and it looks like curds and whey... so weird.

    Oily Rebatching Problem

    Hmmm I hadnt thought of that. I measured out both batches at the same time, and prepped the lye water for both ahead of time. It's definitely possible. I will change out the batteries in my scale to be sure. Thanks!

    Oily Rebatching Problem

    Hey Wise Soapers, I made two batches of soap last week, one set up well and the other didn't. Snow witch stayed very soft so I decided to rebatch in the crockpot. Ive only rebatched once and is was because the soap was ugly. I chopped up the soft soft soap and added 1 oz of water to the...

    Cotton Candy with a drop Swirl

    Hey Fellow Soapers, I must admit that I haven't made soap or posted in a long while, had a few bad batches in a row that destroyed my confidence. Got some new FO's for my bday and was feeling inspired. Now I remember why I used to do this :grin:

    Oatmeal, Milk,and Honey CP Soap

    Hi Soapy Friends, Here's my take on OMH. It's been a long 6 months or so since I've made soap and longer still since I've posted anything. I've missed it so much! The FO contains vanillin so I'm really hoping that the natural colour darkens up. Also I think I need to grind my oatmeal to a...

    Frustration at other businesses

    I also started out with a pyrex pitcher for my lye water solution. I now use a stainless steel milk frothing pitcher that I found on amazon for like 15$. While I love it, it gets super hot, so I know always put it in an ice bath.

    Gift Packaging Soap for Christmas Retail Sales

    I don't usually gravitate towards soaps that are wrapped in paper because I like to see what the soap looks like. However, I actually do like the way you've packaged these. The colours compliment each other very well. I love the idea of including a soap dish, I would definitely bee line it to...

    Lip Balm Filling trays

    I too like using the pipette method although that shot glass method looks a lot quicker:). I had trouble with the elastic band; I couldn't for the life of me get all my tubes level with it. Thank god I only make a handful at a time.
