Dana Mae Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 What can I do with it? Can it be re-melted or rebatched or something? I have 3 small (1#) batches that flubbed, hate to throw them away...Can anyone help me? Thanks Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye_SC Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yes they can be rebatched.Grate them up or use a veggie peeler, and put them in a crock pot, with a teaspoons of water.Melt real slow and stir.When it melts and reaches the stringy stage it's ready to mold.

Kimberly Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I have had a few batches like that...the soap is good but just looked too bad to sell. I make Sudsy Sacks. I shred the soap then sew it into a wash cloth. They sell like crazy at my home shows.I dont rebatch because I think rebatching is more hideous than the soap I started with!

Angel91805 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Personally, it would depend on why the batches are "flubbed". If they are fugly batches....woo, I've got some of those!....or just didn't come out how you wanted them...you can definately rebatch them or shred them up to add to other soaps, etc. BUT....if the batch is lye heavy because of a miscalculation, and unless I was 175% sure I knew my error to fix (like if I forgot an oil and therefore know what I need to add to make it right)....I'd not take the risk and toss it. I also hate to waste it and toss it out.....a few one pound batches are no biggie for me....I had to toss a few 5 pound batches because of FO issues... now THAT hurt!Just my opinion...Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I dont rebatch because I think rebatching is more hideous than the soap I started with!A woman after my own heart LOL!I'd chunk them up and make some whacky looks with embeds, cut them into sticks, logs or what have you, into blocks etc. ... or I'd just pitch the thing in total disgust (been known to happen too many times lol.)

Luci Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I've rebatched because of some seriously hideous fuglies only to get even more hideous results. I've got a friend who crochets "soap sacks" and have worked out a deal with her to use the soap in those for her gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Also if they are faily new (less than 3 weeks old) you do not have to add any additional liquid to the rebatch process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
