Tara Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 What would make a soap trace very quickly without even adding any fragrance to it. The only thing I changed in my recipe is the addtion of Mango & Shea Butter and it started to trace before I could even get the darn fo in there!!!

Bunny Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Did you soap way cooler than normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 maybe just little. You think that's what did it? Still it was about 105-110 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 It may have been a false trace Tara... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I just did that with my last batch, but it wasn't a false trace because nothing separated. Took a water discount and got a thicker trace than I could imagine. No clue what caused it, but I got that FO put in right away and poured.

giedre11 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Sometimes I think that stick blender is just a bit too efficient! I try and soap at low temps...85-90 and still get a super fast trace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I just did the same dang thing. Mine was full trace and I didn't change the recipe. I just got supplies from another company. And I was wondering why my soap traced so darn fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Okay, I tried my same recipe again today but mixed the lye solution with my melted oils at a higher temp. and did just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
