Guest guest Posted February 5, 2000 Report Share Posted February 5, 2000 Hello. My name is Lynn and I live in Colorado. I've been making CP soap at home and am having problems with my olive oil soap (I got the recipe out of a book, so I believe the lye to oil mix to be correct). It suds fine, but if I melt it, it turns int a gommy, sticky mess. Almost like a waxy thing. It's impossible to mold as it sticks to everything. Can anyone give me any ideas? I'm about to go back to boiling down my own tallow as it didn't happen as often with the tallow soaps. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2000 Report Share Posted February 7, 2000 rebatch is when you melt your soap down to add other ingredients to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2000 Report Share Posted February 8, 2000 That stuff at the stores isn't soap. They are harsh detergent bars. If you want to make real soap without messing with the lye, buy some some noodles. > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > Please click above to support our sponsor > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ~*~*Thanks for joining!
