CareBear Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Grumpy Girl put some in the salt bar she sent me. Still haven't made it into the shower to check the think out tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I use silk in every batch. I have the tusseh (sp) and it is in a long strand a little fatter than a pencil. I use 1 inch for 2-3lbs of oils. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lly324 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 hello, I take just a pinch of them very small amount and add it to my lye water to dissolve. I think it makes the lather a little creamier, at least to me. I use it for some batches and not for other... honestly, I use it when I remember it.

cindym Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I use it in every batch, a nice size pinch, I really think it adds to the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokymountainraine Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I use it in every batch too. I add a nice size ball of it to the water before I add the lye. I love the feel of the lather with silk in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Makes it silky, LOL. Mine looks like hair. You can use the fabric too, as long as it's raw, a 1" square or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 What about liquid silk? Would you still add it in the lye and at what %? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 What about liquid silk? Would you still add it in the lye and at what %?Not sure about the % but the point of adding to the lye is to dissolve it so, no, you don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokymountainraine Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 What about liquid silk? Would you still add it in the lye and at what %?Unless you are just trying to get rid of some hydrolyzed silk amino acid I would never use it in soap. It's way too expensive an ingredient for soap. Scent Works has bags of tussah silk fiber that is a cheapo ingredient. A 4oz bag will last you forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
