erinmfritz Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I read in another thread to add BW or Steric to harden it. I made a bar with BW & it is ok but just wondering which is better. I would also like to know a % of additive for a starting point, I like to measure in %, easier for me. TIA, Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Start with no more than 1TBSP per pound and go from there. Every base is a bit different, so you might need less, might need more. Someone gave the tip of using Olive Oil at 1TBSP pp. I tried it and it did help. I liked it better than using beeswax or stearic. If you don't want to go with OO, then I'd say beeswax is the next best alternative. Stearic is third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
