spatreats4u Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 I have to add the oils a bit at a time and mix it in with the mixer... seems to help.I only mix mine with a mixer and it seperated days later...i dont want others to use it if thats what happens. those who can avoid this issue what do you do? or does it just always do this....i made something that wasn't a thick butter so it was great---real creamy and light except for this issue.

Ann M Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 When I first started using FBB, I really had to play around with the amount of oil used. Using to much caused it to separate and using not enough caused it to be rock hard and like glue. I thought I was just going to give up and never use the stuff again, but I finally found a happy medium.I use 1/2 lb FBB1 oz oil ( I use SAO).125 to .25 FOI whip with the whip attachment until nice and fluffy. THis can take up to 1/2 hour. I then add the fo and whip some more. I believe the whip attachment really helps.I also do not like making this in huge batches since I have no need for that much. I don't sell this product, but I do like it and some of my family members like it too. I have also added about 1/3 c of sugar to the above recipes for sugar scrubs too.Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I give up. I've been hoping against hope that I'd figure it out from the content here, but it hasn't happened.What is FBB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann M Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 You buy the FBB and add other ingredients to it. I bought mine at Kangaroo Blue, but others sell it too.Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep whipping it... I have to whip it for a really long time it seems. Total I probably whip it 30-40 minutes with slowly adding more and more oil. I have some I did a month ago and its not seperated at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
