Fixing a lye heavy soap - from CP to HP

What started as a hybrid soap (Cold process with melt and pour) turned into a hot process with CP embeds). Here is how it happened.

Both soaps came out beautifully and a good save Glenda. This was a good learning video for me for if this ever happens to me I know of a good method to still make very pretty bars.

Thank you! Hopefully you never have to use it!

Thank you for sharing this Glenda. I had problems last fall with the same situation. I ended up with a large batch of hot process soap. Trusting that you are doing well. I think of you often when I’m writing in my journal. Blessings to you 🍂

Thank you Lauren, I had been wondering how you were doing, I like seeing your posts in fb, so many nice memories! We have been doing good thank God, the start of a new season seems to be busy usually, but it is settling now.

I like how you cut it, looks lovely

Would it have not have helped you to lightly stick blend the whole pot a few times when you saw that the oil and soap was were not emulifying together?

[@SoapsbyGlenda]

It may have helped a little, in the past though, when the soap is that thick, the stick blender is not very effective, the gummy paste fills its cavity and the blades don’t seem to mix anything around them, and there is a risk or even burning the motor by forcing it continuously. If it was more fluid it could have worked.

Given the water content of the soap at this stage (just cut) shredding was not feasible, it would have gotten stuck in the shredder instead of coming out in Shreds
