Ive tried her method and if you’re in a hurry and even if you’re not its a fun change from the regular way. It does move faster than the regular way to make soap so be on your toes. Beautiful soap as always lady!!!
It's always a good idea and maybe even FUN to try something new and different from time to time. Sometimes it could prove more of a CHALLENGE! It all depends on the experiment. 😳 Thank you, M.C.! 👍😊
Merrywood Farm Soaps I hope I didn’t offend you. I love your method lady and I use it often. It’s a great alternative to the regular way. It’s just like the reg way takes practice. Love your soap live your site was trying to be encouraging. Best of everything lady. 😘
Hello, thank you for the video. Does it matter what the temperature of the liquid oils is when you add them to the hard oils? My recipe has a high percentage of olive oil, so I imagine the temperature of the lye and hard oil solution would be quite hot.
Not at all. I never check the temperature. Simply make sure all your hard oils are melted thoroughly before adding the liquid oils and you're good to go!
It’s always hot here in the Bahamas , so my coconut oil is almost always liquid! so do I still put it with the shea butter or do i mix it in with the other liquid oils?
It doesn’t matter much. I always add my coconut oil with my hard oils, even when it is soft. Most of the time I will add my castor oil to the hard oils too. But that’s just my process. You are melting hard oils and in the end it all gets mixed. I have had no problems. 👍🏻
What did you use to make the white, so white? I am getting ready to try this method for the second time and I worry about trace. I want to do a color layer soap but last time when I tried this, my bottom two layers were perfect but when I did the third layer, it punched through. Also, when and to what pot to add your additives? Thank you for explaining the heat transfer method! I tried it once and am about to try it again. LOL!
The white was acheived by using Titanium Dioxide. I melt my hard oils in one bowl and I'll mix my additives into. my soft oils in a seperate bowl... Then mix them together from there.
Since sodium lactate needs to be added to COOL LYE WATER.... you could experiment with adding it to the soap batter after all the oils are mixed. The lye would have cooled significantly by this point.
Hello, thank you for this tutorial..just a question if you don't mind. What do you use to mix rye solution. Is it just normal water? Sorry am a newbie want to try this first time
Most of the time I do find tiny bumps after it has cured. Using a soap planer will smooth out the lumps and bumps if you prefer to use one. However, I have had some batches come out smooth.
What was the hot liquid you used to melt the hard oil? You called it lye, is that the soap base that comes like a block? Anyone who knows feel free to help me out thanks
this is my first time learning about heat transfer method...so I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that would heat up the liquid oils too quickly, and possibly burn them.
It's best to pour your hot lye solution into the hard oils first thereby melting the hard oils COMPLETELY before adding the soft oils. You want all your oils to be in a liquid state to insure that they all are saponified correctly. If you have your hard oils melted and in liquid state then add your soft oils and by all means continue as usual. 👍

No! Not offended at all. 😃. I was just adding to your comment, that’s all. Thank you, you’re so kind. 💗
Merrywood Farm kk just making sure. Take care lady. Have a great day!!
Hi I'm from PAKISTAN your video is very helpful thanks
Thank you!
I will try this method 😊
Thank you so much
Lovely! Thanks a lot for explaining this method. I think I'll try it with my next batch :)
You're welcome!
I’ve always wondered why we didn’t use that heat to melt the hard oils. Thank you!
You’re Welcome. 😊
Well Put! Love the blue and white swirls 😍
Thank you! And I do love the swirls too! 😁
Wonderful video, what’s the benefits of this method vs the normal way? Also, is this recipe available? Thanks
I suppose the "benefit" would be not having to melt your hard oils before soap making. The soap itself doesn't have any special properties.
Where did u find those little pieces of wood for the cheese slicer 😊
I don't remember actually. But you can look at your local hobby store. There should be something small enough that can be used.
They are very pretty. I will be trying this heat transfer process to save time
Yes, It is helpful! 👍

Was excellent
Can you make Gelesreen Soap Base !
I have never tried making a glycerin based soap.

Great video! With this method, when would I add my sodium lactate?

@@merrywoodfarmsoaps thank you so much!!
Hello, thank you for this tutorial..just a question if you don't mind. What do you use to mix rye solution. Is it just normal water? Sorry am a newbie want to try this first time
For my lye solution I mix LYE and WATER. Thats it. 👍
@@merrywoodfarmsoaps Thank you
Does your soap have little bumps throughout or is it smooth?
Most of the time I do find tiny bumps after it has cured. Using a soap planer will smooth out the lumps and bumps if you prefer to use one. However, I have had some batches come out smooth.
when will be usable the soap? 2 month or 6 week? Thank you
My soaps are ready in about 4 weeks. Sometimes I’ll let them cure longer, but they do cure for at least 4 weeks. Thanks for asking. 👍
What was the hot liquid you used to melt the hard oil? You called it lye, is that the soap base that comes like a block? Anyone who knows feel free to help me out thanks
The hot liquid was the lye and water solution. It can get super hot when mixed and can help melt your hard oils as in this video.
@@merrywoodfarmsoaps Hi thanks for the response, i did some research and found out its a chemical mix not soap base.
what is the advantage of this soap making method over the regular CP method?
I suppose the "benefit" would be not having to melt your hard oils before soap making. The soap itself doesn't have any special properties.
Why can’t you mix your soft and hard oils together and then add the lye water solution?
this is my first time learning about heat transfer method...so I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that would heat up the liquid oils too quickly, and possibly burn them.
It's best to pour your hot lye solution into the hard oils first thereby melting the hard oils COMPLETELY before adding the soft oils.

If you have your hard oils melted and in liquid state then add your soft oils and by all means continue as usual. 👍
Ofelia's soapery mixes the hard and fluid oils together then adds the lye, it can be done.
Had you not blended the lye and hard oils at the beginning, it would have been more fluid. A good tutorial anyway!
This is true. However, it wasn't too thick. But it is something to consider if your recipe or fragrance oil tends to accelerate. Thank you! 😊
Isnt that the point of the heat transfer? Use the lye's heat to melt the hard oil to save time.
