Brenda Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I'm no expert! Did you whip the hard oils first, then add the soft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVida Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 I did whip the hard oils (and forgot the soft oils but added them after I added the lye solution... I'm sure that didn't screw it up)..... It was HELL getting it to thicken... my mother said "well, maybe you should let it sit for a few minutes... it sure helped) Your whipped soap looks SO good... of course you're an expert!!

Kaybee23 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Also, you should make sure with your hard oils, that they are solid when you start.....that might account for why it didn't thicken up...just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
