...and I'm not help to anyone on the subject and/or process of
rebatching/handmilling.
I've made numerous attempts and just can't seem to get the lovely smooth
mixture that the books I've read/used, say should happen.
I may have another go at some stage in the future but will stick to the CP
for now because that's what works for me.

I have never rebatched so I would be keen to know the answer to this one.
Did you grate the soap?

Hi All
I wast just wondering if someone can shed some light on melting a batch of
cold prosses soap , in order to add scent etc...
Its just, i have tryed about 4 or 5 times and i cant get it to melt into a
smooth mix!
I use a recipe using high percentage of cocnut oils and olive oils and also
palm oil. IT wont melt- it takes ALL day (and night) and its still hard and
chunky and bubbly ( i find i have to gradually keep adding water and its a
mess! im sure there is amuch much better way..) I have been doing lots of
reading trying to get around this problem buti still havent cracked it....
I tryed double boiling-(a bowl over a pot of boilng water, and directly in
the pot over a moderate heat- sort of simmering...)
Ah and should i stick blend it or will this cause to much bubbles?... i have
just been using a wooden spoon)
i would really appreciate some advice
thanks very much
Rosie :)
