Kia ora
I realised what I did wrong I think!i ran my recipe past the person who has
been mentoring me in my new soap adventure and he suggested the water
discount thing sooo I am pretty sure that I shouldn't have discounted the
water - ie I should have used the original amount. Yeah, cos then I
remembered reading in soap naturally don't discount the water if you are
doing something different or using fragrance oils..... I think the soap is
actually ok cos I did manage to throw it into a mould before it totally
flipped out but u live and learn! I have to confess I was really excited
when my first batch of soap went weird, ie started to clump cos I had been
reading about all these problems and I had made 20 batches of soap with no
problems and I started thinking, what are all these people on about! They
say u learn more from your mistakes! Its so true! Well how can u know what u
don't want it if you havent experienced what you don't want! :)

Subject: [soapcraft] F.O's
Hi Mandy,
I don't use a lot of F.O's as I like to stick with the more natural
stuff. However there are always consumer's who want a particular smell,
and who am I to say no!! LOL.
What I find helps apart from Liz's comment on mixing at a cooler temp. I
take a little oil from my total oils and don't add to the pot to heat,
but add my FO's to it. At a slightly cooler and a very light trace I add
the FO/oil mix to the bulk soap and then pour quickly. I tend to use
slab type moulds that you can pour into quickly. Also some FO's are
quite well behaved. It comes down a little to trial and error ( and
hopefully not too many error's) HTH.
Cheers,
Ruth
