Im loving the new format. You seem nore laid back there and a hella lot more comfortable then your shower lol. Im not trashing the shower we had alot lot of soapy fun in there! That just totally sounded wrong but you know what I mean. Keep on sailing Captain!
Yes! Loving the new format. Actually starting to comprehend terminology of soap speak. Now if I can just remember all the tips when I'm in the midst of a pour, that would be great. HA!
Another great video! I also put sugar in my lye solution, however, I dissolve it in the water before I add the lye and it works fine that as well :) Love how a small addition can create so many luscious bubbles!!
Just found you from recommendation - great videos! Look forward to watching more. Side note: love, love the Mass Effect picture just hanging out on your wall! :-)
We’re big Bioware fans around here. The Mass Effect series is one of our one true loves. We’re currently enjoying Starfield - nice to see Bethesda take on that space frontier.
Another beautiful bar 😄👏🏻 I got advice from a WSP rep that problem scents could be used in hot process to side-step acceleration/ricing/separation issues. Do you think that is reasonable? Thank you Ms Pontoon Captain! 😂 😁 Edited to say: Yes! The new format is great. I feel so organized just by proxy.
You changed my favourite picture! I like the guy but love love love the girl! Love the new format and all the info you give. Thank you for all the days💜
@@MrsSoapAndClay I do the same thing but dam I love that chick! I may or may not have been trying to recreate her. 😉. I do have a screen shot so I can keep going.
Sometime could you perhaps touch on the cpop and gel in the oven steps? I’ve always just done the insulate it method. As always, thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
Ooh. Question on the powdered sugar: do you use a specific one? I recall reading someplace that some powdered sugars have an anti-caking agent. Is that something we should look for if we want to add sugar? If we want to avoid that, is regular grain sugar an option or does it not dissolve well enough? Have you tried powdered honey? I saw that on one site; WSP I think. How about brown sugar? Would the extra molasses be a problem?
You are correct. Powdered sugar has cornstarch in it. I have always used regular granulated sugar. Dissolved completely before I add the lye to the water.
I had a scent that was completely leaking out of the soap when I in molded it and when trying again with same scent no leaking this time I wonder if this has to do with mix the FO cause first time I just hand mix with a whisk which was a bit big for the container(didn’t have a lot of room to move around) 2nd time I used my stick blender to mix FO but hand mix my colorants
There are definitely some fragrances that don’t blend well and would work better with a stick as opposed to a whisk. Generally I do use a stick on a fragrance oil that seeped in the first batch to ensure it is well incorporated. Have fun!
So can we talk about the seepage in a video... I have had it happen in a couple of batches and only I have tried those bars and we're fine, pH test was at 9. But is it safe? Is it trash or rebatchable?
pH at nine is good, and as long as you don’t see any active seepage spots after you’ve given them a rinse, they’re good to go. Really the only issue of concern is undiluted scent on the skin. A very tiny issue that’s unlikely to injure you, but one just the same.
@Tim M I tried doing a clamshell pour with it. Haven't cut the bars yet but the whole time I was swimming in how wonderful it is. If you're an outdoorsy person that likes sage I would recommend that in a heartbeat

Well said, I'm certain she understands.
It’s always so amazing to me to watch the cut of the soap. So beautiful!
Great video. Thank you for sharing a batter that had a tiny bit of seepage. Good to see and understand this doesn’t have to be a failed bar.

OMG that picture of Elliot is everything! Also the drop swirl is awesome too!

Thanks for showing us how to make soap, it’s very beautiful colors. Please keep in touch dear 🤝🇺🇸

@@MrsSoapAndClay Same here. Love BioWare… and Starfield is promising so far.
Love the new format!
Another gorgeous soap!!! I just can't get enough of your soapy works and knowledge!!!!
Format is great! Thoroughly enjoy your videos and learn something with each!

The pics move around a fair bit in the pontoon - it’s part of the fun. She will be back!

Looking on from Trinidad 🇹🇹👋🏾
OOOOOH, I see you adjusted the art for the intro/outro for this one. Dropping some hints?!
Love love love your videos! I also love the new format.
Why should or when should we use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar?
Does anyone know what to use to get a scent like Fels-Naptha?
What kind of canola oil? Is it the cooking kind?

Maybe that would be a good experiment series, trying different sugars and doing a lather test. Also, I'd dig a series on different milks.
You are correct. Powdered sugar has cornstarch in it. I have always used regular granulated sugar. Dissolved completely before I add the lye to the water.

@Tim M I see it all depends on how well a FO behaves then thanks 😁

What about 1tsp salt ppo for bar hardening. Does that work?
Sure!
Where can we buy the shirt? Pour is beautiful. Must have the shirt!
Could I use all olive oil instead of using canola? Looks beautiful 😍
Of course!
Have you tried making smiley faces with the drop swirl method? It looks like it might be possible to do.
You need to try the flowering sage and incense FO from Brambleberry. Freaking delish. Trust me.

So u didn’t even show us the lather ? :/
