Morning, Tammy! ❤ Yeah, the soap temp thing is ridiculous. I also usually stop blending at emulsion, too, unless I'm doing layers.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Hi Wendy! yeah that temp thing! I stressed over that for way too long!💕

Morning! At first, I wasn't loving the color choices for the soap; however, it really turned out great. Beautiful swirls :)

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

thanks! I think they match the scent pretty well - I'm glad they are muted in their tone. 🤗

[@MsAubrey]

It’s lovely! When I had too much soap in my piping bag, I grabbed some parchment paper and did dollops on parchment so I could use them later. 😊 Oh… and using an animal fat soap recipe for piping is a bad idea, because it takes FOREVER to get thick enough. 😂

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

you know Aubrey, I never think to grab parchment paper, I don't know why. Maybe your comment will put it in my head better for next time! 💕 I knew that about lard but tallow is the same? That I didn't know! I have 35 pounds coming to me LOL - I will have to process it myself but I see a good amount of tallow soaps in my future 🤗

[@MsAubrey]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique anytime I’ve ever used either animal fat, it took forever to thicken. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That’s even soaping at over 100F.

[@happybrushchely7170]

Not a orange person but I love the color combination ❤.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

thanks! you would not like the soap I just cut LOL - it is sooo orange, much more than I expected. I don't think I like it much myself and am not sure what I was thinking 😂

[@annmariemiller8744]

I love this video! I’m going to give it a go! I’m trying to understand swirling etc.. Practice practice practice

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

practice is right! LOL Good luck - thanks for your comment - I do appreciate it so much 💕

[@Spool-Stead]

Hi 👋 I am a beginner on soap making, currently working with melt n pour until I get a space set up for cold process, but I to am from Indiana!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

hey neighbor! I'm glad you are here!! Good Luck in your new journey!💕

[@dianehedricks7860]

Beautiful soaps Tammy!!! I bet they smell amazing❣️ I am doing my first attempt at piping today!😬 I’m gonna try and make poop looking bars with “Monkey Farts” from Nature’s Garden. Wish me luck!😮

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

hey Diane!! How'd they turn out? I made poop looking cupcake soaps once but they weren't supposed to look that way!😂

[@dianehedricks7860]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique well, my piping SUCKS!🤣 They look like pure 💩, but not in a cartoonish, funny way!🤣😂🤣

[@norawalsh5471]

Such a pretty soap! The fragrance sounds amazing! I agree the temp thing is strange unless your recipe needs a higher working temp. I'm like you, I like to soap in the 80s. Excellent video as always! ❤😊

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

hey Nora! Thanks for commenting - I do appreciate your doing that 😍

[@birgitbrown6107]

Beautiful Soaps❤ would you happen to have a printable FR document or does it change with each scent?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

good morning! It does change with every scent - some scents have a really low usage rate for soaps - I will use a fragrance in soap as long as it is over 3% - but I usually won't make a bigger batch just in case they sit around for a bit as I'm worried that low of an amount will fade quicker (honestly don't know if this is true LOL) I've also had fragrances that have a high percent on IFERA but I use 4 because it is so strong it blows me away at 5

[@Signrmsigncs]

Great video! Have you ever used refined hemp oil in soap?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks! Yes I have used hemp, but just once. It was several years ago (I had to go look to see if I had used it LOL)

[@MsAubrey]

I use palm kernel and cocoa butter pretty often, which means I have to soap at 95F or higher… so you’re right that other than some oils that require higher temps, the temperature doesn’t matter too much. 😊♥️ Oh… and morning Tammy!😊

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

good afternoon Aubrey! 😆💗

[@marlenellewellyn9987]

I wear glasses to start with and goggles over glasses hurt. So I wear the full shield and I’m glad I do! I’ve had lye splash up onto the shield. Can’t be too careful when working with lye!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

oh I should wear a shield - I don't wear goggles either with my glasses...thanks for the tip!

[@IrishQ76]

In addition to safety, always keep vinegar around if your not close to a sink. Vinegar will neutralize the raw soap batter.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

good advice Melissa! Thank you! 💕💕

[@happybrushchely7170]

I love to see you so ticketed. Glad you mention the temp for new soapers that was such a pain to do. I also soap at around 80

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Hi Chely! thanks for your comment! 💕
