Re hand mixing...OMG, it takes forever. I can't live without my dual speed
stick blender
Mandy, have you tried ITP (in the pot) swirls. Much easier and the results
are not too bad (not as nice as the in the mould swirls)

Subject: [soapcraft] Sand in soap
Thanks for the lovely introduction Mandy. Yes I have used sand in my soap.
Everyyear I go camping with my family at Kai Iwi Lakes and so one year I
used the lakes sand. It was nice and scrubby. Not sure about blending it
right through though...........i think it can be a little to rough but would
be suitable for guys hands........remember solvo soap............that was a
sand type soap.
I spread a layer of sand on top of the soap.
During the warmer months you can get away with a much lighter trace (light
custard) and it pays to keep your soap making tempertures at the lower
range around 30 ish because soap can set quickly and seize in warm weather.
Over winter you can increase temperatures and stir until a little thicker.
Are you using a wizz stick........I am all for natural hand blending but its
a time issue. Wizz sticking is very quick.
Other peoples experience would be great to hear.
Happy New Year
Gina
