I was very curious about what the pattern would be. You worked hard and it was worthwhile. Congratulations you have achieved very nice successful outcome 👏 🎉🙋♀️👀👍🎁
Hello madam, I am starting to make soap but I do not understand how to calculate the quantities but especially the water/detergent ratio because on the printable version it says 1.0000:1 and I do not know what calculation or anything else I should do. Could you help me please? Your soaps are magnificent and I can't wait to try some. Best regards. Rosalie
A lot of soap makers use a percentage for determining the amount of water to use. I find it easier to use a ratio. Most of the time I use a ratio of 1:1.7. This means that I take the lye amount and times it by 1.7 to get the water (liquid) amount. Sometimes I will use a ratio of 1:2. This means the water amount is twice the lye amount. I use SoapMaker for my lye (soap making) calculator. Not only is it a lye calculator it also keeps track of my supplies, recipes and so much more. SoapMaker is not free, but the one-time price was more then worth it. There are many free lye calculators available in English, but I am not sure about French. I guess if you do an internet search you will find one. Each of the calculators come with instructions on how to use.
To achieve fluid soap when pouring the most important thing is not to use the stick blender too much. Stop blending when it is just mixed. Then divide and color. Then if needed you to stick blend more. This is something that I am always working on! There are many other reasons. Such as your water amount is incorrect, the recipe does not have the correct amount of unsaturated oils, temperature of oils and lye and the scent you use.
@SEAandCLEANsoap thanks for the info. I thought my temp was too high, but my niece was helping me on my last batch and she kept forgetting to tare. Will plan on making another batch tomorrow alone. Lol
This is REALLY NICE. I am imagining the other colors that can be done and maybe even a spritz of a sparkle in the colors. NICE!
Yes, any colors. Sparkles are great too!
Thank u for sharing. I love your video style. To the point and no time wasting. ❤️👍🙏

Thank you. I do not know if this has a name. I was inspired by ombre/gradient/side wall pours. And, then did my own thing!
Love it . Must Try
Please do!

@@SEAandCLEANsoap thanks you so much
Is this a "typical" recipe for like a Luna swirl?
Yes, you can use this recipe for any swirl technique.
@SEAandCLEANsoap thank u so much. My batter gets too thick to pour, and I'm no sure if I should add more oils or what. Part of learning.
