Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 well, i made a 3# batch of soap this morning using a half oz of patchouli and one oz of lavender eo. i'm making this soap for the trappist monastery that i'm going to go to for a retreat next month. they don't ask anything in return, so i thought this would be a good way to say " thank you " . well... next time i will be more patient and let the oils/lye water cool more, lol. how i forget that it traces SO much faster when it's a bit too warm! i got it mixed well, i hope! i used some of my prized red palm butter, and don't want a botched batch, lol. just barely got it into the mold before it began to thicken to hard trace. talk about fast moving early in the morning! lol. so anyone else soaping this weekend? alex " The Alchemy of Fragrance Blending " , an E-book www.masterblender.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
