mysticglow Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 In my most recent batch of soap I decided to replace 12% of my Olive Oil with Sunflower Oil. After the soap was made and put to bed for the night I began to clean up and realized that I failed to put the Sunflower in the soap pot. It was still sitting on my scale. So, can I save it? Will I need to rebatch it? :tiptoe: I'm going to tiptoe to my corner feeling really silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Rebatch. Eugenia's method of the boil bags looked easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shani Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I don't like rebatching, however, I found a method that worked perfectly for me. I made a lavender/eucalyptus batch last week, and when I cut it into bars, I noticed chunks of lye. I didn't skip any oils or anything, so I figured things did not fully incorporate; lye/oils ( bad night;) ) Instead of shredding the entire batch, I cut it into cubes, put them into boiling bags and placed the bag into a pot of boiling water on the stove for 1 to 1 & 1/2 hours. The cubes melted beautifully! Whenever I've done a rebatch with the shreds, I would always get a few shreds that did not fully melt and you can see them in the finished bars. To make a long story short, the cubes melted fully and the bars are very nice, IMO of course. check it out http://www.mygiftblvd.com/lavendereuca.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
