I have been making four pound batches of soap today. I made some nutmeg, some blueberry cake, some gardenia and some lilac lily of the valley. Sure smells nice in here!
I have been at it for several hours. I substituted the fragrant oil for equal oil in one of them, see if it makes a harder bar. That was the last one, the lilac-lily of the valley.
I'm worn out. I filmed most of the time. I have given away some good soap molds, so I'll need to make some more. I repaired two of mine. These aren't very good ones anymore. I'll have to see what has to be done to each of them so I can use them. Four are in use at the moment, but the other six...we'll have to check on them.
The recipe is the same for each of them, rainwater, lye, castor oil, vegetable oil, fragrant oil. No additives this time.
