Di_in_AZ Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hoping someone can help me here. I messed up a batch of soap in the mold. I want to remelt it and do it in a different mold that will be easier.I have remelted soap once (and had an accident LOL) Do you need to add more EO--does it lose any scent once you remelt it?

sockmonkey Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 It is possible that some of the eo/fo will evaporate during reheating, but you should be able to tell if you need to add more just by smelling it. I wouldn't automatically add more to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau's mama Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I haven't remelted when using EO's before, just FO's, but I just let it cool a bit, and let my nose tell me if I need to add a few more drops of FO. I also add a bit of distilled water, a little liquid soap & a little more castor oil when re-melting...seems like it keep it from becoming too drying.HTHSharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Di_in_AZ Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thanks for the replies, I did remelt the soap very slowly at a low temperature in a double boiler and they seemed fine, smelled the same. I am part of the same swap as you both (everything MP) but don't worry it was a visual issue--the soap stuck badly in my first mold and came out mis-shapen. The only bad thing was I wanted lavender flowers ON the soap and instead they are now IN the soap. I will probably win the ugly award hands down LOL. Maybe I should stick to candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
