SueH Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I just made the Canolive 3 soap recipe from the Miller web site using Purely Herbal from BCN and boy did it accellerate fast!! I had to hurry up and slap it into molds and as fast as I was doing that it heated up and started gelling. I've only made one previous recipe with canola and olive and don't remember it doing this.The other soap batches I've made with lard and this fragrance didn't accellerate trace. Is this typical with canola and olive oil recipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giedre11 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I've found that while the oils you use may accelerate trace some, it's usually the fragrance oil that does what you described. Some eo's do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labgal Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I just made a batch using that fragrance this past weekend. It started to rice on me but I think I managed to stick blend it into submission. Like yours it did heat up and gel quickly in the mold. It was my usual recipe-so the culprit was probably the Purely Herbal. Never soaped this one before-it smells great!!!
