Hi, I have a bunch of questions and so I thought I'd put them all here and hope for the best
- Good recipe for swirls? - I have been using a soap recipe from soaping 101 which is slow moving, but I worry it might take FOREVER to harden and cure - it's basically 25% coconut oil, 68% olive oil and 7% castor oil. I've used this recipe with 35 % water and a 5% sf. It's wonderful for allowing time for decoration but it literally took a week before I could take it out of the mold.
- Can I cut down on the time this soap takes to harden with sodium lactate? If so, how much of a difference would it make?
- Also, while I'm at it, how could I clean up this soap? I really like the design but I can see some of the colored soap from where I scraped, is there a good way to clean it up so it looks tidy?
