elle110 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 A quick ??????, I put my lye out today mixed with the water...so it is at room temp. MY ???? is, do my oils have to be at room temp as well, it is not olive oil soap so there would be some hard oils in my recipe, so it could not be room temp...does this make sense...can I pour it with room temp lye but hotter oils?Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yup, I do it all the time. You don't *have* to have everything at equal temps, that's just one of those "guidelines" you use when you start out, just to limit variables when you're trying to figure out problems.

elle110 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Robin, thank God you were on, I was wanting to do this tonight, I am just so excited to being able to find some shortcuts to make things go smoother and quicker.

KristinesShower Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 We mix all of our lye one day and do all the oils the next day. I think the whole concept of bringing both to room temp is more of a beginner thing to regulate your soap. Once you get the hang of it, most of those guidelines go flying out the window... am I right soapers? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca_IA Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Once you get the hang of it, most of those guidelines go flying out the window... am I right soapers? lolI wouldn't even know where to find a thermometer around here. I go by, room temp, warm, warmer, and hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
