magsglass Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Formulated a new CP recipe last night and I'm quite pleased with the early results. It hardens up fast and has lots of bubbleage already. I can't believe I could cut & trim it 9 hours after pour! But at the rate it was hardening, I was afraid to wait any longer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CP notes: 4lb. batch, 33% solution, full gel.Scent: Honey Spa Ginger 1oz ppo, minor A, no D so far, great scent!Color: Labcolors Emerald & Peach + TD. Note to self: blend colors & TD with whisk next time to eliminate speckle problem. [ATTACH]7234[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magsglass Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks, everyone! Yes, contrary to my usual colorfulness I decided to go pastel with this scent because it seemed more spa-like that way. They are a tad more towards peach than the picture shows. 17 hours total and they are so hard I can't put finger dents in them. Is this typical for all of you? I've never had soap harden up this fast (CP or HP) so I'm surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Girl Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Oh man, I like!Beautiful coloring.I tested a heavy palm recipe recently that did that too mags... it set up, out of the mold and cut in less than 9 hours. It bubbled like crazy and was hard as a rock from the get go. I was thinking it was because of all the palm since my usual base recipe doesn't use that much and takes about 16 hours before I can usually unmold it. I also noticed the test batch had a white mottling within the soap similar to a candle. Weird, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
