Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 Well I've got all of my supplies now so I plan to get my feet wet with cp soapmaking, this weekend. I'm a worryer by natures so please forgive me for asking for help on the most minute details but I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what they've learned out stirring. 1) Should I use my wooden spoon or a plastic spatula? 2) When I stir the lye and water together, do I stir fast or slow? 3) Do I keep stirring the lye water until it reaches the correct temp? 4) How long will it take to for about 8 ounces of lye to cool? 5) I think I'm going to try to make a 2 pound batch (since I've heard the 1 pound batches can be a bit tricky. Thanks for the 1 pound recipe Janet ;-) ). Should I bother with the stick blender or save that for larger batches? 6) Should I be concerned about stirring the oil/lye mixture too quickly? Are air bubbles a problem in CP soap? Please free to add anything you seem necessary, even if I didn't ask about it. Sorry to bombard you guys with a whole lot of questions all at once but I am a bit nervous so I'd like as much guidance as possible.
