kidsngarden Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Can you use a squirrel mixer for this? My stick blender isn't all that tall to do a 5 gallon bucket, but I read that LS gets SUPER thick and I'm wondering what can handle that?And I can make one master batch and then add fragrance to smaller batches - right?Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVida Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I used both of of my hand blenders on LS... it gets super duper taffy like, but by that time it's ready to cook and I don't need to blend it anymore (one hand blender has gotten mega hot and the other's plastic blender got stuck in it)...... are you using the LS maker book? you'll need the blender again after about a 1/2 an hour or so if the solution at the bottom hasn't been amalgamated (<-- *l* I just wanted to use "amalgamate"....)

kidsngarden Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 So you use a regular blender AND a stick blender?No, I don't have failor. I'm using the directions and formula on Snowdrift Farm's site. I've also read bunches of other things too.So if I want to formulate my own recipe using soapcalc can I just put the lye water to 3% and input KOH plus oils? Will that give the liquid soap amounts?Thanks,Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 If the squiral cage mixer is all metal it might work, I wouldn't use a plastic one.There is commercial stick blenders out there, but are very pricy. Here is just one site for them http://www.etundra.com/shop/product.asp?product_id=5602&product_category_id=6302 You can also find them at restraunt supplies, too.
