TerriWV Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I'm sure it has happened to someone. I was making a batch of soap a little bit ago, I was going to use KY's Frosted Snowdrops, and do a 2 color swirl.Everything was going good, and I got it into the mold, and realized I didn't add the FO! Soooo, I guess this will just be an unscented batch, with hopefully a pretty swirl happening. I feel like such a dork. Quote
lindsaycb Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I haven't done that...but I've forgotten to add my olive oil....Melted the hard oils, mix in water & lye....viola...extremely HARSH soap. Quote

Done that!! :embarasse I made a great batch of Oatmeal soap, swirls and all, got it in the mold, then started to clean up my mess. Only then did I realize the FO was still in the container! UGH! I hope yours turns out nice ....... even without the FO. Quote
Crafty1 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 don't feel like a dork, i have done it too Quote
sudsnwicks Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I have left out one of the ingredients before too, LOL. Short of having a check list in front of you, I think we all have done this at some point before. Quote

Short of having a check list in front of you, I think we all have done this at some point before.I wasn't going to tell that part..but it was sitting in front of me, still on the scale! :rolleyes2 Quote
mysticglow Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I've done that before too. More than once. I have a beautiful purple swirl unscented soap. Quote
Meridith Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I've done that before as well as forgetting an oil. My last mistake was to add my lye and water that should have been for 100 oz of oils but instead, I only added 64 oz of oil. I accidently based my lye and water amounts on the percentage of oils and butters instead of the weight. Oh well, good thing there is rebatching. Quote
jwahlton Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Yup. Now I put the FO container in the mold so I don't forget! Quote
TerriWV Posted January 6, 2006 Author Posted January 6, 2006 Yup. Now I put the FO container in the mold so I don't forget!I usually do that too, but this time, I was busy with other things, and left it sit on the scale. yesterday, I only seemed to have a one track mind, and probably should have skipped soap making.
