TeriM Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 anyone ever done this.... I did a ton of searching and found where someone did - the made the screwed up bars into a powder and then added it to a new recipe... after the salt... I really hate to throw all this away... thanks !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 You can rebatch them just like rebatching any other soap. At least, that's how I do it, I don't do anything different. I've never thrown anything away. I couldn't bear to throw my precious soap away. Whatever didn't work out always gets rebatched, either alone or mixed in with another batch.

TeriM Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 I guess what I'm really wondering is about adding my messed up batch in after adding more salt... for some reason it just didn't seem right to me.... not sure why - it just didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I think it might be simpler if you rebatched it either by itself or with another already made soap (I save all my scraps for this) instead of trying to do over and adding more salt. In any case, whatever you do, you shouldn't have to throw it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeriM Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 I guess I'll find out.... gonna give it a shot this weekend.... I'm with you - I never throw soap stuff out... to much money in that stuff.. !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 you can also just add some chunks and crumbles of the salt bars to a regular CP batch. Especially nice if your salt bars are colored and the new batch is white or maybe a dark solid color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'm with you - I never throw soap stuff out... to much money in that stuff.. !!That's right! And if the rebatch didn't work out, I don't throw it away either. I just save it and then add it to the pot the next time I'm rebatching something.

MarieJeanette Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I've rebatched salt soap by finely grating it down and adding the gratings to a new, regular CP batch. I didn't add more salt since there was plenty of salt in the gratings. My gratings were colored light pink and so my new soap ended up looking pretty cool. It's even more cool if the cp batch you are adding the gratings to is scented with a different, but complimentary F/O. My gratings were scented with Salty Mariner from AGE, and the regular CP batch I added them to was scented with Jasmine from MMS, It smells really good!MarieJeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Sea Salt Breeze from Backwoods.. wonder what I could mix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 so if you do that... are you still calling them a salt bar... ?LOL I don't call them anything, because although my rebatches wash just fine, they don't look nice enough to go out the door.P.S. Oh, DH calls the Frankensoap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarieJeanette Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 so if you do that... are you still calling them a salt bar... ?...Hi TeriM,This is just me and what I do, but if I added enough grated salt bar flakes to my new, regular CP batch in order to equal the same weight in oils that my new CP batch has, then yes, I have no problem calling them a salt bar. On the other hand, if I only add a little bit of my salt bar gratings to a batch in order to give it a confetti-type look, then I don't call them salt bars. HTH!MarieJeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeriM Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 well it worked... at least it looks like it did.... I just used the grated up salt bars for my salt... equal amounts to oils... so far so good ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 you know what else looks cool? I chunked up some salt bars and added the pieces to clear M&P that I colored a pale aqua. I used INDIVIDUAL molds for these, because if they are done in a log and sliced, they will sweat....A LOT! But it does work well with the individual molds.
