Did your soap batter seize on you? This is how you can fix it (it's easy)

In this video I demonstrate how to save a failed or seized soap batch, an experience quite funnily referred to among cold process soap makers as 'Soap on a Stick'!
This method presumes there was nothing wrong with your soap recipe, but something (usually a tricky ingredient/fragrance oil or process mistake) caused the soap batter to thicken dramatically, causing it to harden before it could be put in the mould.
If you suspect your soap may be lye heavy, then you will need to add more oil to your soap rebatch to consume some of the excess lye (that's coming in a future video).
How much water to use for your rebatch
Approximately 60g/ml water per 1kg soap
(about 1 ounce water per pound of soap)
My favourite Neem oil soap recipe
This one is great - no issues at all.

Thanks for watching everyone! 🤗 This is the well behaved neem oil soap recipe, if you are interested to make it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yN618RLuKUA.html (had no issues with the New Directions neem oil). Also make sure you check the video description for all the other relevant info including water amounts to use for rebatching 😊 See you again soon! Elly x

Hello I have questions that maybe offsubject of this particular video. I have allergies to coconut and tree nuts, it is hard to find soaps (liquid or solid) without them. So I reaching on how to make my own 100% olive soaps for my personal use. My question is: Where is the olive oils coming from? What type of olive oil is being used? Are people using cooking oil from the grocery store or does it have to be special ordered? Do you a post about where to get your oils? Thank you much for your kind and gentle instructions!

I too was wondering if I needed a slow cooker for a rebatch... Could I fix a soap by this method if it's too soft... I used to much of soft oils in one of my soap recipe and it's soo soft...

@miamiranti9885 5 месяцев назад

@@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy As far as I know, if after 7-14 days soap is still soft, it is unlikely to harden. I was taught to formulate using 40% hard oil or butter + 60% soft oil and also add sea salt + sugar into water before adding lye.

When I plugged in my stick blender, I pulled the plug on my crockpot instead of my toaster. Old houses and their limited numbers of outlets. Mine is a circa-1947: post WWII building materials shortage so some unique methods and materials. The demand for housing from returning soldiers found all sorts of creative ways to build homes. I’ve seen a video where an old trolley car formed the core of the home, Here, in Amer Fork, Utah, the building department folks told me about a couple of home built of ammunition boxes filled with newspaper for insulation. My house I’d old mining timbers taken from a nearby silver mine in a local canyon. Said canyon (American Fork) also being the source of the spring used for the local water supply.

Ok is it just me or does Elly's soap look like a scrumptious piece of bread. 😅 You are such a great teacher. I have seen others rebatch soap, but the soap comes out looking somewhat crumbly. I recently took the leap of faith and participated as a vendor in a craft show. I sold soaps and other products. My # 1 item that sold was a body cream in a particular fragrance. Many asked me if I had the fragrance in a soap. The reason why I do not is because it accelerates like crazy. I will now attempt to make the soap and if my plan goes south I now know I can save the soap. Thank you so much. I have learned so much from watching your channel.

Aloha! It's been a bit over a year since I did my last (beginner) soap batch...'cause "life happens", but today I decided to try your Honey Castile Shaker Soap. It's funny that I find this video just after I've finished. I almost had a soap-on-a-stick type situation because I used Plumeria Fragrance in my batch, which caused a very quick trace in the shakers (I had to use 2 smaller shakers for lack of a larger one). I was wondering if I was going to have to pull out my s/s soap saucepan to save it somehow. Luckily, I was able to get it all scooped out and smoothed (ahem) into my molds before it became unruly. Thankfully, it seems to have worked out and I look forward to checking on it after a bit. I hope Grandma (98) likes it when it's ready. 😃Happy to be back on your channel learning again!! 🤙
