I am so glad I found this video. I am teaching local classes and teaching swirls. I often get questions from students who try it at home and get accelerated trace. Now, I have some places to go with them as far as advice. Thank you!
You are most welcome. Glad this will help. Just a note, it is now nearly two years after posting this video. I've kept playing around and it seems like the water content doesn't have that big influence on trace, I can't say that I can really detect a significant faster trace with less water on the batches that I've re tested up to now. I can't say that I was wrong but also can't claim that I was right either 😃
I just found this video. I took notes and watched it 3 times. You are blessing and pleasant to listen to. I would listen to you read the whole bible!! Subscribed ! 🙏❤️🙏
Lovely to hear that you are South African 😃 I live in the Eastern Cape and love making soap 🌿 This is such an informative video...just what I needed. Thank you ❤
Welcome to my channel of Boerr Acent English 😄 Happy to have you here. A big hi from the other side of South Africa. Sterkrivier Limpopo Blessings Ansa
I used a red clay (of which I increased the water ratio to compensate for) and a sandalwood fragrance oil, everything was fine until I added the fragrance oil, it immediately accelerated the mixture but luckily it wasn't to bad and still set up in nicely. And smells beautiful.
Fragrance oils seems to be our nemesis, everything can be perfect but if s fragrance acts up it's just the end of velvety smooth batter. Glad you had quick hands 🌸
Dit is n groot plesier Kathy, welkom in die seepkuns familie. Jy is altyd welkom om my te kontak as jy vrae het. Ek het sommer n hele reeks beplan oor goed wat in seep gebeur en hoe om dit te vermy.
Ansa, ek kyk jou videos oor en oor, het hierdie naweek my eerste seep gemaak en slimkop (of so het sy gedink) besluit toe om fragrance oil te gebruik, daar verander my seep binne sekondes in pap, ek moes my gooi ken, van benoudgeit gooi ek die bak ook toe mis en helfte beland op die tafel, maar lekker gelag na die tyd! Toe maak ek weer n ander batch met ander fragrance oil (ek het jou boerseep resep gebruik) en die kom toe pragtig uit, dit was beslis die verskillende frangranced oils wat ek gebruik het! ERk sal maar aanhou oefeen met die boerseep want vir my le boerseep baie na aan die hart, ek deel jou liefde vir tallow en ook natuurlike goed maar het gedink aangesien die nou wasgoed boerseep is kan ek maar netsowel 'n twist op dit sit met bietjie lekker ruik goedjies, duidelik le daar nog vir my 'n lang leerpad voor, maar ek geniet elke oomblik daarvan! Dankie dat jy ons so mooi leer!
Seepmaak is nooit vervelig nie. Veral nie as jy fragrance in die avontuur gooi nie. Ek is bly jy het hom gevang en gered gekry. Bly jy kon lag daaroor, dis die belangrikste om dit te geniet. Ons het n fb groep. (Ek is sleg met fb 🙈) Dit sal lekker wees as jy met ons kan share. facebook.com/groups/798563967421834/?ref=share&mibextid=JOZb8W
Dankie Schelna, ja ek was n hele jaar stil gewees op youtube. Het plaas toe getrek en n klomp goed het verander die jaar. Ek dink ek het darm my ritme terug 🌷
Fantastic invaluable information Ansa! Concise and to the point and I am always looking to slow trace as I use tallow and rice bran oil and that combination moves quick. You and I have had this conversation before and this video is fantastic to refer back to. Thank you 🙏
You are most welcome Kitty, these tips were all lessons that took me a long time to learn, I can't ever recall how many scoop and plonk soaps I've made through the years. I think the most misleading thing is the time we think we should blend with a stick blender, why it seems like minutes in the videos I have no idea, and I thought for many years that reaching a trace were compulsory. But so we learn 😄
Hi thank you Shona. I'm Afrikaans speaking, TH-cam is basically the only time I speak Rusty and broken English 😊. I jokingly tell people that I Speak English with a "Boere" (farmer) Accent. 😄

Thank you. I’ve been trying to do swirls but my batter is always too thick. I’m gonna tweak some things and try again.

This is a wonderful video full of helpful information.
