Jcandleattic Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I thought I had at least 1 more 5gallon bucket of masterbatch so I just could continue on my merry way today with soaping - Umm, I opened what I thought was a full bucket of masterbatched oils to find it completely empty and sparking clean. LOL I have no idea how that happened. I guess if I kept better track of my inventory this wouldn't happen. I *think* I have enough oils to masterbatch a 25lb batch (1 5 gallon bucket worth) but will have to see. If not I guess my soapmaking for this week is over. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Find the limiting quantity ingredient and make as much as you can I say! When you’re on a roll you keep moving onward! 🏋🏻♀️🏇🏻🚀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I try to buy quantities that fit my recipe so I only have a little of a few oils left over once all my masterbatching throughout the year is done. I was going to put in another HUGE order (as I do about once or twice a year) on Friday. Might rethink and put the order in tomorrow. Not like I'll be able to do anything with them one way or another until after I get back from my quick trip to NOLA on the 13th - 16th..

Jcandleattic Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 I have enough sunflower oil to do 10 lbs of masterbatch is all, but that's better than nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'm down to masterbatching just for the day's soaping needs. Found I hate MB in batches of 50 lbs or more. 20 lbs for the day is just simpler and easier for me. MB 50 lbs just exhausts me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to have the oils to do it with. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
