Awesome video ❤ haven't made HP in years. I have a charity event coming in less than 4 weeks. So HP will be a better option if I want soaps on the table ❤

[@Mumsy_Soap]

You did great. Hot process is not fluid, in my opinion. It's a different beast. I only do hot. I call it the plop swirl. The other thing I like which you did not address is you can cook 100% saponofied and add more expensive oils as a super fat. Thanks for sharing. I have lots of amateur soap making vids on my channel. I learned from Kimberly McNutts KZbin videos in 2015.

[@QueerBullSoap]

Absolutely - superfat addition after the cook means more of the oils properties survive which means you can get some more expensive oils added and retain their benefits.

[@deborahsaxton9442]

I use flaxseed gel to add more liquid at the end. It's brilliant and makes the soap softer on the skin. Just boil flaxseed in distilled water for about 10 min. As it cools it makes a globular, snotty gel.😂

[@aliceuriarte4478]

How flax did y0u use?

[@Mumsy_Soap]

Do you have a video?

[@Lucy-eh5zn]

I just mix my oils, butters and lye in a bowl until very thick trace and put the mixture in my hot crockpot. Saves me a lot of time. To make it fluid I'd add yoghurt/kefir and extra butter towards the end. This makes it more fluid and easier to pour. The only time I'd mix in the crockpot is when I'm making melt & pour soap.

[@LouiseTurmenne]

Your soap turned out beautifully. I've always done hot process, but without any colors added. I need to try a simple swirl like yours. Charcoal swirls. Nicely in hot process, if you add it to the top of half your batter, then add the rest of your batter on top and take a teaspoon and manually stir the batter to swirl it. It makes a pretty effect. I did a cold process once and it turned out very nice. I need to do more cold process.

[@dottiemaesoapery9637]

I've just discovered your channel; thanks so much for sharing this video! I think I'm off to make a HOT PROCESS SOAP! Have a wonderful day and a GREAT weekend! Take care...☺☺☺☺

[@yehudatanuri-leeman9182]

Love your videos!

[@karolmoreland834]

Very nice!

[@aliyashehzad4792]

Beautifully done, I have been making cold process soap since august , so it’s just been two months and I love trying different methods and ideas, yesterday my soap got lye heavy, tried your fifty fifty method but don’t know where I went wrong, so I crushed my whole one kg batch and added some oils and water and made it hot process soap, it’s still in my kitchen cupboard, hopefully 🤞 it will be ready and good to go in the morning. Thanks for sharing wonderful ideas

[@aliceuriarte4478]

You are great

[@rossydv]

6:53 oddly hypnotic

[@mnharlan7662]

If you use a larger crock pot you can turn it off at thick trace and it will still hold enough heat to reach Vaseline stage with a much more controllable volcano. Add the super fat and sodium lactate at this point and it will loosen it up more.

[@aeon-2]

❤

[@marilynmaune3642]

I really like the soap you made. Some swirls in cold process soap are a bit to fancy for my preference

[@QueerBullSoap]

And that’s the important thing - preferences are valid and one type of soap is not better or worse than another - they are just different and each has their merits. I love cold process for the techniques and designs I can do but love hot process for the ability to use it quicker and add super fat oils after cook for additional benefits. I even enjoy melt and pour for its vibrancy.

[@melissapeterson4202]

I recommend the book the ultimate guide to Hot Process soap. And keep your additives warmed, even the yogurt. Maybe add them all together at the end. I love watching volcanoes! So exciting! LOL I think that's what attracted me to HP. But I may be a strange one.

[@QueerBullSoap]

I shall take a look at the book recommendation

[@Mahikan]

@@QueerBullSoap it is a great book

[@dionicia12]

Shalebrook Handcrafted Soap on KZbin, Valerie has several videos demonstrating fluid hot process soaps. She might be able to help you with developing a more fluid recipe.

[@QueerBullSoap]

Awesome, thank you for the recommendation!

[@facetedperspectives9950]

Watched this video a few days and intended to comment, but got very busy. No matter, leaving a couple of suggestions regarding hot process soap fluidity. I have added a teaspoon each of sodium lactate, honey/sugar and warned yogurt per pound of oils in a recipe. I've also added one additive at a time using different recipes. Using three made a very fluid batter. Another benefit was being able to play with finishing tops like cold process. It is tons of fun to experiment. Always amazing what results can happen when playing. 😊😊😊

[@DebsShipley1969]

Great video. Did you put the pot on low please? I have only ever done CP but I really want to try this but I'm a bit scared by it. Thank you

[@QueerBullSoap]

Yes - I kept the slow cooker/crockpot on low and kept an eye out for the Vaseline stage.

[@marielamunoz6869]

Hello! I am from Argentine Patagonia!! I love your work, I want to ask you how to make alum soap in a hot process, when should I add it? thank you!!

[@QueerBullSoap]

Hi there. I have to be honest I have never used alum in soap. However my rule of thumb is if you want add an oil or additive with “benefits” to a hot process you are best to add them after the “cook”

[@marielamunoz6869]

@@QueerBullSoap GRACIAS!!!

[@moneysexman2533]

Is there any fluid hot process without using yogurt ???

[@QueerBullSoap]

You can use the same process without adding yogurt- the yogurt helps with a fluid batter for doing swirls but is not necessary

[@samihage1223]

What is the maximum temperature to get at hot process?

[@QueerBullSoap]

In a crock pot I work on low. Some people prefer high but start at low and work from there
