Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Oh no!!! That R word! ugh. Good luck lizz! Shaye NaL Update Here's the next chapter in the Sodium Lactate story. Unmolded the soaps last night at 11 p.m. ~ they were in the molds for about 9 hours. They almost fell out of the MW molds. It took only a gentle push to get them out of 12 " and 15 " by 3 " PVC pipe molds. The soaps were very firm and without any ash. After school this afternoon I cut the logs. They cut easily, the soap was not crumbly, there was no ash. I trimmed the bars and they look great! One thing, though. I'm used to making soapballs from leftovers when molding. The leftovers got crumbly and hard before they could be shaped. I'll have to come up with another method. Tomorrow I'll try rebatching (yuck!) the scraps.

I took the scraps, uglies etc. from each fragrance and ran them through the Salad Shooter. They were firm but not rock hard and easily shot out of the Shooter as soap noodles. These noodles were plopped into the microwave AS IS for 1 minute per 4 oz. I did not add any liquid and watched each batch very carefully as the melting soap quickly rose up if overheated. A quick stir and the soap was ready to ALMOST pour into molds. Couple of raps on the floor and that was it. There must be a trick to this.
