Glycerin method cloudiness after cooking

[Smee]

Reckon the best way to find out is to find out for myself then, right?
Saturday will be "Test Jcandleattic's Method" day.
I'll put one jar in the fridge and one in the basement...and see how long
I can keep my hands off of them!

I happened to remember this video, maybe TEA is the answer to cloudiness. Check out the video titled "Trouble shooting cloudiess in M& P. I would try it in just a small amount of LS first and then take the pH to be sure it wasn't too high. By the way I love this series of videos.

Yes, I heat the glycerin then add the lye, then add the lye solution to the hot oils, keep the crock on low while stirring. Once I get to the little bubbles stage, I turn the crock off, cover it with the lid and let it set up and do it's thing until the next morning, day, whatever, check it to make sure it's paste (it always is), then I either dilute or bottle the paste depending on when I want to dilute.

YOU'RE A GENIUS, JCANDLEATTIC!
It worked! It worked!! Bwwwaaaahahahahaha! It WORKED!! :clap:

It probably would have worked even better if I would have
kept my nosy self out of it and left it alone...but that's not me :roll:
Put one half in the fridge and one half in the basement to see
how each one fares over a few months cuz I'm curious.
Now I'm so excited to make more liquid soap this way, but
I'm out of glycerin.

Thank you for this most awesome tip!

LOL you are quite welcome. I'm glad it worked for you.
And I am 99.99999% sure you don't have to refrigerate the paste.
Let us know what your results are.
