OK guys I need a few suggestions and a lot of help. I have made 100's of batches of soap and all of the sudden things are getting out of hand. Here's my problem, Measure out my Lye and water, mix and set aside to start cooling. Then I measure out my hard oils, melt and stir until basically clear, then mix the liquid oils, (helps cool the hard oils) and wait for temps to get around 85 -90 prior to mixing. Prior to final mix I add any color and fragrance. After temps are right I slowly mix my lye water into the oils, within in 5 seconds of blending (not exaggerating) thick trace and prior to pouring it goes to thicker trace and its hard to pour even.. Real hard to mix separate colors like this when you don't have time to pour. This is been a good recipe for me it really lathers and has lots of bubbles good.
Here is my last batch recipe 80 oz;
I use O.8 fragrance ratio, Last batch used Candle science Ocean Breeze works well several times prior
Fragrance 4.o 113 grams
Castor oil 7% 159 grams
Coconut Oil 25% 567 grams
Olive Oil 48% 1088 Grams
Crisco (palm) 20% 454grams
Distilled water 862 grams
Lye 317 grans
I use micas and TD for white
Would appreciate any help!
Thank You
