franu61 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Well, I 'm just so happy to have two separate work spaces now, one side of the room for candles, one side for M&P soap. Anywho, I'm working away at the candle table, and thought I'd get some goats' milk M&P melting. Put it in the micro for 30 seconds, got busy with candles....A few Minutes later I realize the micro is still going. I had set it for 30 minutes! That SH... stuff was boiling away and phew did it smell bad. Ok lesson learned, never doing THAT again, (I hope) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Oh man, been there done that. Only instead of 30 minutes it was only 3 minutes, but yeah, same thing, boiling M&P that stunk to high heaven. Realized what was happening at the 2.5 minute mark.

Candybee Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Oh yeah! I know that feeling! The older I get the more scatter brained I get. I hate it when stuff like that happens! Hope you have a better day today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner14jc Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've stopped trying to do both candles and soaps at the same time because inevitably I would measure fragrance for the wrong one. Not a good thing to mix up Almost poured soap last night without even putting the fragrance in at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do this all the time!! Now I mix my FO with my oils so I rarely ever forget. On the rare occasion where I mix my FO in at trace, I make sure I put my FO IN my mold, so I can't pour the soap without seeing the FO first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
