Landa Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 My husband being the sneaky devil that he is bought me some Sodium Lactate. If I make a 2# batch(using CP), should I add one ounce of SL to my water before lye and reduce my water by an ounce? Or am I confusing myself? Haha!

cindym Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Landa do not reduce your water. I add mine after the lye cools at 1/2 oz per lb. HTH cindy Don't forget a little olive oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landa Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 thanks. I was waiting for you to chime in. How much olive oil do you use? and where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 If I am using the Tony's Molds I just put some on a paper towel and rub it around the mold, just enough to make it look shiny but no puddling, just a rub, and don't worry if you don't get every little spot. Landa I am also finding now that I have used the molds a couple of times and just wipe them out well after a batch, the olive oil is unecessary. I do put them in a pre heated 150 degree oven for about 30 mins, or until fully gelled, right on the rack and then let them completely cool and for me they just pushed right out of the mold, I just put my thumb on the long side and gave a little push and they sild right out. Good Luck and let me know how you make out. Oh , one more thing, I get my soap all emulsified, add fo at very light trace and start getting them in the mold.

Landa Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Yeah I made a batch with Tonys molds yesterday and poured them at a light trace. Worked like a charm. I did hafta stick em in the freezer for about an 30 mins. They just fell out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
