Silicone Impression Mat Technique, Cold Process Soap Making, (Technique Video #2)

Wow! Thanks! 💜

[@buttermilkbaysoap9416]

Madysen Yates try using www. Soapcalc.net and just choose the oils and plug in the percentages and this will calculate the lye and water you need for the recipe. Hope that points you in the right direction. There are also KZbin videos that can help you use and understand soapcalc. Good luck🥰

Two things every soaping video must show...mixing of the lye water in the oils and the cutting of the soap :-) brilliant soap, btw. Love your videos. Thanks!

I'd absolutely not put in all that work but, I'm glad you do. Very nice visuals.

I'm a beginner but aspire to this ! Can I ask, you added the lye at different times to different oils. Would the temperature not get too low ? Can you just leave both to get to room temp then add them ? Thanks !

[@dolphinwoodhousesoaps2595]

Thank you for the great video. I have 2 questions, please...Why did you put a stick in the fragrance oil when pouring it? Also, why did you put the heating pad on top instead of the bottom? Thank you for your time!!

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you! I pour down a stick to prevent the fragrance from dribbling down the side of the bottle. There is a heating pad on the bottom too. Usually slab mold designs have a harder time going through gel.

Tree Marie Soapworks i found it already! Thank you!

[@JiayingJourney]

Can I know the ratio for the oil and colors? Is the oil from the recipe or excluded?

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

I use enough olive oil to dilute the colorant. Others use a 1 to 3 ratio, but I find that much is not needed in most cases. I do use a 1 to 3 rate when I make up my TD mixture. I don't usually use batch oils. It is not enough to worry about. It just adds to the super fat.

[@margaretmax-community]

That was great

[@melissaowens6031]

If I wanted to use sodium lactate, do I have to figure that into my recipe and percentages or can I just use it? I am already discounting 5% for super fat, so I would I calculate that into my lye?

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

No, that is not figured into the recipe. It is an additive. If you are using soapcalc.net, it is super easy to figure out. It states your amounts in pounds, ounces, and grams. Look at the amount of oils in the pounds column. That is your SL amount in tsp. Most of my recipes are made in the 10 inch mold from BB. I use 33.5 oz of oils. That is 2.094 lbs of oils, so I use 2 tsp of SL.

[@carolkhoo4129]

Exquisite! It sure took a lot of work. May I ask if ultramarines need to be mixed this way, also is castor oil best?

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you! Yes, they definitely cause specks. I usually use olive oil, it doesn't really matter.

[@crisla7817]

just clarifying, you added the colorants and fragrance to the oils before the lye solution - is there a reason for that?

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

I don't usually do that, but since I was only using one color, and the ultramarine could use a bit more stick blending. It is notorious for specks. I didn't want to do all that stick blending after the lye solution was added. I add the fragrance to the oils if I trust it to behave.

[@crisla7817]

Tree Marie Soapworks thanks for the insight! 🙌🏼

[@sheelapillai1047]

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you!

[@CookingpugA]

Hi Marie, your soap is really beautiful ❤. I hope I can make a beautiful soap too because when I tried to make it, my soap froze really quickly after I added the fragnance oil so I couldn't pour it into the mold or form it at all. First, I mixed the oil with lye, and then added the color powder and last I added the fragnance. Was it right or wrong step? I hope you can give an explanation or tips about this case. Thank you (sorry for my bad english) 😊

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Sometimes fragrance shocks the batter when added. If the fragrance is known to accelerate, you can dilute it with some batch oils, also your temperatures should all be close to the same so it's not such a shock to the mixture. I soap between the temperatures of 85-95 °F. You can soap cooler than that, but I wouldn't soap warmer. I hope this helps. Your English is fine. 😊🌸💕

[@CookingpugA]

@@TreeMarieSoapworks Oh my thank you for replying and also the explanation 😊🙏❤. I will try to make soap tomorrow according to your suggestion. Hope it turns out well!

[@talitamuniz.]

Incredible video, as usual!!! 💜💜💜 Love it so much, thank you for all the work in sharing with us!! Can I make my soaps without the heat pad? Just wait 2 days to unform it works the same?

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Yes, of course, you don't have to force gel. I want my soap to go through gel, and I don't like it when it partially gels. When you use less water as I do, it is hard for the soap to complete gel, and that is why I add extra heat to give it a little nudge to finish gelling.
