I've recently made A LOT of liquid soap for an upcoming project. All went dandy except one FO. It's being really snotty and belligerent. Most FO's emulsified and cleared with a 1:1 ratio of FO to PS80. With this FO I'm up to almost 1:2 FO to PS80. Is this out of the norm for most scents? I don't really want to keep adding PS80 if I don't have to but I also want to keep the LS/FO in suspension. Should I just scrap this FO for LS and move on?
 
I've found it depends on the FO. I have one that's pretty stubborn and won't emulsify unless I add about 3 times as much PS 80 to it. Thankfully, that particular one is the exception and not the rule.

Thanks IrishLass! I'm happy to know this is an issue others have had. I'll just keep adding PS80 bit by bit and see what happens. Now I curious to see how much it will take to clear. :crazy:
