KMommy Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I have seen some listings in soap base sections as re-batching. What is the difference in re-batching and M&P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Well.. the end process is kind of the same.. Here's the "bunbun" explanation..lolM&P is a synthetic detergent bar, made up by huge manufacturers with chemicals to make it lather. Pop in it in the micro, pour it, let it cool, pop it out, and you have soap.Re-batch is CP or HP soap. Real lye, real oils, real stuff. You make a batch of soap, shred it, add a little more liquid when you put it in the micro, pour it (ok, sometimes smash it) into the mold. Let cool, and pop it out, and you have a much better soap. Here's a rebatch of mine.. Mint Mango Tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Damn Bunny...that is some nice rebatched soap there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Thanks MaryinCary!Wanted to add, please don't think I'm bashing M&P in any way shape or form. You can do a zillion different things with M&P, and let the creativity flow with it. (I just can't do it worth a flip..lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I tried M&P this week end and I can't do it either( even had some coaching from an expert ), Just don't have what it takes, so I am gonna stick with CP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 BTW Bunny, those are some gorgeous soaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Bunny, those are very nice!! I am going to attempt some plain, unscented CP some day and just rebatch.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I've got over 30 different colors of shreds, and keep about 20 lbs of white shreds on hand! So whenever the mood strikes and I want quick soaping gratification, I re-batch! All my eo soaps are rebatch also, as you can use 1/2 the amount as you would in CP since the scent doesn't burn off. Also good for finicky fo's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vec Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 please excuse the stupid question, but, can you rebatch in a crockpot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Bunny,I don't belive you can't do M&P worth a flip! I have seen some pretty photos of the work you do posted and I don't think there is anything you can't do!!! Thanks for the explaination and for posting the photo. That soap is almost too pretty to use!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Oh girl.. You're too kind! I mean it! My M&P is just horrible! I can't get my layers to stick together, can't keep my dyes from either bleeding or fading, and just not creative enough to do some of the awesome things the ladies here can do!TY so much!
