I've been soaping for a few years now, wow that went fast, and I still learn from almost every video you make.
THIS SOAPING 101 CLASS I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS LIKE AN ON GOING SOAP OPERA.
NOW HOW CAN THIS BE? I MEAN WE ARE GOOD LITTLE STUDENTS AND WE NEVER CAUSE ANY TROUBLE. WE ARE THE BEST STUDENTS EVER!! I KNOW TEACH LOVES US. OH AND THANKS SO MUCH TEACH FOR THE BAR OF SOAP I LOVED IT!! SO NICE!!
Are you using hard or soft oils? This will also affect the hardness of your soap. What percentage of SL are you using? Too much may have a counter affect.
I too have a bottle of the stuff and did not know how to use it. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise!
Present and accounted for. I always wondered if the sodium lactate I was adding was really making any difference. I have my answer! Thanks again for a great class, Teach!
I'm waiting for my Sodium Lactate to be delivered, so this tutorial is perfect. I'll start experimenting with it at 1% ppo. Your videos have been so helpful. I made your Facial Bar recipe yesterday in a PVC pipe and am excited to unmold it today. Thanks so much for generously sharing your knowledge!
Just used Sodium lactate yesterday for my cube mold. Left it in the mold about 18 hours and they pretty much slid right out, corners in tact!
I have used the sodium lactate in 2 batches and I can not tell a difference in the "hardness" I used 2% adding it to the lye mixture. Did I do something wrong? Thanks for helping this aspiring soaper.
Thanks for another great lesson. I have always used sodium lactate, especially in my goats milk soaps, I just like the feel if the soap. I first started using it in HP as it definitely improved the smoothness when putting HP in the mould, x Linda
That was so informative...thank you..
Will you post a video of how to calculate TFM of handmade soap too pls...
I couldn't sleep last night, so I am up early and when I saw the portrait, I laughed so hard, I woke up my son! Great class today... Thank You Teach!
He gotcha Debby! I bet your face was a picture when you seen that photo! I cracked up it's soooo funny!!
Can you clarify one thing for me - at 1:12ish, your slide says, "To create a softer soap, sodium lactate may be added up to 3%." Is this correct? Thanks for the fantastic videos, they are truly wonderful!
I'm confused. To make it softer you add more? You get a harder soap if you add 1% and a softer soap if you add 3%? Really?
Can I use it on all cold process soaps? Thank you
He's at it again Debs, he's winding you up, don't bite sister, keep calm and carry on (with his family history hehehe!!)
Apologies for being late Teach, Dentist Appointment this morning, ouch! Great tutorial, very informative and right on time for me. I have recently been using the powder sodium lactate, never sure if I should pre-mix it with oil or water or just add it dry, not a lot of info on that part of the process is available, what do you suggest? I notice more soapers are including it in their soap making. I agree, when I have used it, my soap is much harder. I see the 'OLD' star beat me into class! x
Oh my God Phil has you under his sneeky powers. I love it I really do. I guess he got even after all. Ok I just choked on my tea, so I better just hush and watch....LOL
I know he cracks me up. He really does. Soooo funny. Yes he is winding me up, he about killed me when I choked on my tea. I will be doing his family history soon again.
I have too many family categories to give up now. LOL
Me too!!! I am sitting right in front today and so excited to see this class. Hey where the heck is sleeping beauty Phil at?
Well lets see I was drinking a glass of tea. I saw that picture and I had two choices spray it all over my lap top or swallow it fast. I swallowed it fast, and about choked. So Phil is out to kill me!! He is on my wanted list now. Just wait he is going to get it!! LOL
Hello dear. Ive been following your vids for some time and few months back i tried making my own cp soap.
My recipe includes olive oil, coconut oil, and canola oil. Everything seems to work well in the start but after cutting the soap and using it, a gel kind of liquid(gooey) starts coming out from the soap. The gooey comes from the area which is in contact with the soap tray or any surface.Ive changed my lye but still every batch i make gives out sufficient amount of gooey liquid after using it.
I would be very very grateful if you can guide me to get rid of this gooey from soap. I havent been able to find any solution on the internet as alot of soap makers are unfamiliar with it .
Teach can you help me out, I bought some Lard at the grocery store with the intentions of making a batch with it but when I put it in SoapCal the hardness properties show that it would be a soft bar of soap. I wanted to do a test batch but I also didn't want to waste the oils either. Can you suggest a recipe using the lard? Thanks in advance teach.
I have both powder and liquid sodium lactate. Does the percentage for sodium lactate stay the same (!%) fro a harder soap bar if it is in powder form and liquid form, or is there a difference between them? Thank you in advance
Hi Soaping101, thanks for the video. It's extremely helpful. What kind of soap mold did you use in the video and where did you buy it from? Thanks.
Honest dentist visit is was, (I do have a couple of teeth that I could have sent in the post but they were not the problem hehe!) I was gagging for a coffee when I got back, logged into 101 seen that photo and the coffee that I struggled to get into my numb mouth just fell back out - I just cracked up (I need Teach to make a stain remover now!) The 'OLD' was not directed at you- talk to breezy about her 101 mug, sooooo funny!!!! xx
its monday already?! time to pull out my notebook and pencil!!!! never know when we will get quizzed again :o)
Bwahahahahaha, Phil's picture! I guess I have been doing a good job keeping up with watching videos that the picture made me laugh out loud when first I saw it. Phil and the three sisters, LOL! Great video. I should try that one day.
What's the advantage of having everything at roomtemperature?
I'm hoping you'll do a session on making a shaving soap.
Good idea, we can test it out on Phils stubble hehehe! I'm sharpening the razor now!! Luv, Rene x
Hey!! Creepy as in Phil horning in my my family photo? Or just that the whole thing is creepy?
Hello can I get some assistance here? I've used the sodium lactate 3x's and the soap isn't any harder than it would have been. Am I doing something wrong, I put it in the lye then the oils mix as normal and set aside for 24rs before cutting. thats it
Good thinking! how smart are you! Luv, Rene x
does sodium lactate inhibit lather?
what else can you use steric acid for?
Your going to get famous when I get done with you. Wait until next family history video your going to get it. Phil I about choked on my tea, you just about had done me in. You tried to kill me AAAAhhhhhhh!!!! Beides all that I laughted like crazy and your very sneeky yes you are.
LOL!! Phil creeping into my photo how sneeky is Phil & Teach? Just becareful they seen to up to something. Hummm where is my helmet?
The answers were never offered to me sister. Phil tried to sell them to Suzy and that is when their wedding was called off, Suzy thought Phil was mean to charge her for them! I wish Phil would take that cowboy hat off in class, I can't see what Teach is doing. His spurs keep catching my desk as he walks past. Where is the duck tape, if you can keep him talking I will crawl under his desk and tape his spurs together hehehe! That'll teach him to strut around class distracting everyone. xx
Absolutely helpful tips!
can stearic acid be used the same way as sodium lactate?
The Phil part. Actually, I didn't realize that was Phil. Ha! I saw the photo and thought it was one of those lecherous uncle photos you hear about. Sorry. That's funny, now that I realize it's Phil!
I am breathing again I am fine LOL. Great Video now I will have to try this as soon as my lye comes in....I have a new out look on life Yeah!! Phil is going to get it as soon as I find him. That sneaky little @#$%. And I said so!!!
She just grabbed his Halo looked at it, tossed it over her shoulder and then broke out the water gun. Smiling sweetly HA!!! Your too sneeky Phil yes you are. Get ready man it's on....oh and you might want to think of a new name for yourself if you going to be a sister. LOL
Thank you
Yeah Thorntons are good, but Teach prefers chocky donuts anyway, so there!
I like the cowboy hat.....!
Thank you for the info:)
Just checking! lol
Phil are you loosing your mind, if I remember right you were trying to sell the answers to Rene I think? I didn't take them!! I am studious and I listen in class unlike others who have to get their beauty sleep and miss class. Or train their mouse to do poopoo for the Olympics. I am not going to tell you how good Teach's soap is. If you pass your test you can find out too. HA!! Now go make more video's for us in the cowboy hat ok
Thank you, now can you just watch where you are putting those spurs cowboy, your gonna hurt someone.............Watch out Sisters!!!! x
Teach knows that chocolate's been in your back pocket for two days and it's nasty!! So you better think of something else cowboy! x
Great, informative video, as always! Creepy pic, though.
Your spurs might be nice and sharp but they're rusty and will never be the beautiful colour of Kyme's prickly pear. Any way the sisters will be here soon with a file and the duck tape to sort you and your spurs out. Keep your hat on then and see if you don't get into trouble for it. TEACH, Teach, Phil won't take his cowboy hat off and I can't see what your doing...... are you eating donuts Teach????????? xx
HA!
