Oh, the problem with this one was that it seized AS SOON as I put the scent in. I just dumped it into the mold at that point and since the glycerine was ready to go I poured it on top and mixed it a bit with a chop stick. It works very well in the shower. I initially thought the glycerine was going to come off in chunks but, that hasn't happened. All in all, catastrophes go, this one wasn't too bad.

I usually soap between 107 and 110, when I get the lye and the oils to the same temp, I go for it. I'm finding the flowery scents are more prone to causing a seizure.

Algae, I make plain soaps too. I'm very sensitive to smells. However, I like them to look pretty too!

Don't wait for trace to add scent (yes i know everyone says to, they're wrong). What you want is for it to be emulsified (mixed), soon as you no longer see the oil floating on top, add scent, if it's going to speed the reaction, that gives you the longest working window. If it's already thickend, you can end up with soap on a stick or a cheesy mess that won't pour. Usually the higher the alchol % in the fragrance, the faster it can cause it to overheat (causing a seise).

And that's why I don't go on soaping threads, I disagree with most of the methods "been doing it that way since my granny showed me how" doesn't mean it's the best way to do something.

Can we clone him? can he come be an influence on my kid? Gooey likes robots, I'm sure with a little guidance he could aspire to similar greatness.

Problem with cloning them is that we'll have hundreds of brainy kids who can't rememberthe little things, like eating. Then in 50 years we'll have even more highly educated people who need robots to do everything for them.

forgetting to eat once in a while is nothing compared to sticking your hand into a running fan to see which direction it's spinning... just 'sayin

I go to look at the pictures the recipes and to see what people are saying about different scents. I'm addicted.
