tlc26 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) I just wanted to share my experience this evening. I am not blonde but this was certainly a blonde moment.. . I had been cleaning all day, just got a new sofa so the living room needed rearranging and cleaning but I had to get a batch of soap in. I should have called it quits and taken a nap before work but noooo I just had to make my soap. I should know better. I should know that the fairies come when you are tired and have no business soaping. I started making my lye water and went over on my lye so I poured it down the drain and started over. Ok I can deal with that. Then I measure and melt my shea and go to add my (soupy) coconut oil and slop it all over the handle of my bowl, my scale, the counter and me. I went through about a half a roll of paper towels just cleaning up after my own clumsy self. I have been having trouble with my recipe tracing faster than it used to (the only thing I can figure is the water discount, next batch I will try full water and see if it helps) so I hurry up and mix my FO and seperate my soap to do an in the log swirl. I get all my soap in the mold and swirl it up and realize that I did not add the stupid bentonite clay and this is my acne soap...so for kicks I sprinkled a heaping table spoon on top (only 1/3 of what it should have been) and stir until I thought my arm would fall off. Slam, slam slam slam that baby on the counter and then on the floor for good measure and then put the top on a beat taht down too. damn it! I am going to have to rebatch....uuuuhhhhhhhhhh Edited August 26, 2009 by tlc26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I suppose you want the magic hat don't you? Man, now when I soap my batches I'm going to have to pretend I didn't read this thread so as not to attract the fairies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 oh you poor dear(next time you go over on the lye, write down exactly what's in there and then set it aside if you can do so safely. then you can back calculate to see how much to use when you soap again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
