What girls or boys? How have you been this week?, I'm exhausted, I have a couple of weeks as Iliad, so I'm a bit disconnected from the blog and especially make soap. But the truth is I miss tell things, so today I got a little time to speak on a subject I have asked enough, consolidated. As some @ s already know from experience, sometimes you do soap and we do not as we would have liked, or maybe we forget an ingredient, or we are the soap scum and we do not use cookie cutters waste them, for all these cases we have consolidated. Basically, soap merge is grate, add a little liquid (and if you want some other additive) and recast it to heat. There are several ways to do this, the most popular are: a water bath at microwave, or directly to the fire, though so be careful to do so over very low heat, stirring constantly. We can add any liquid, water, tea, milk, etc and the amount depends somewhat on the recipe that was made soap and the time it takes done, so there is no exact amount, but can reference say that 10% of the weight of soap would be nice to start rallies. For example, if ralláis 1 kg of soap you can put 100 g of liquid, taking into account that as you see you can gradually add more, especially if you do direct fire (I sometimes use up to 30%) but remember echéis the more fluid you will have more time to stop the soap dry before use. The resulting soap is more rustic than normal (as seen in photo) and has a spongy texture. recast There are other ways, such as adding a new traced soap and then use the hot method of making soap and some other that when I have time I hope to tell. The truth is that the revised method is a bit controversial because some people hate him and other people who like it a lot.
Well, put you to work with those remains that you have and let me know if you are from l @ s it odian o les encanta.
Mucho más jabón el próximo día, hasta entonces muchos besos.
How are you getting on? I am exhausted, it's been non stop for a couple of weeks and I have been disconnected from the blog and specially from making soap. But I really miss talking to you, so today I found some time to write about a topic that I have recived many questions about, rebatching soap . As some of you know by experience, sometimes soap doesn't turn out the way you expected, or sometimes you forget to add some ingredient or you simply have some soap leftovers from using cookie cutters, in all of these cases you can rebatch the soap so you don't waste it. Basically rebatching consists of grating the soap, adding some liquid , melt it on a source of heat and then add any other additive you may want . There are many ways of doing it but the most popular are: using the microwave, double boiler method or even direcly in the stove, in this case you have to try to keep the fire low and keep on turning the soap in the pot. In English speaking countries where they use the crock pot some people use this method as well.
You can use any liquid to rebatch soap, water, tea, milk, etc and the quantity of liquid depends on the initial recipe of the soap and for how long it has been made, so there is not an exact quantity but as a reference you can start with about 10% of the weight of the grated soap. Lets say you have 1Kg of grated soap, then you will add 100 gr of liquid, taking into account that you may need to add more as you go along, specially if you are doing it on a pot on top of the stove ( I sometimes use up to 30% of liquid) but remember that the more liquid you add the more time you will have to let it dry and the soap will shrink quite a bit. The resulting soap is more rustic and uneven looking than normal soap ( as you can see in the picture) and the texture is somehow spongy or at least not as hard as normal soap.
There are other ways of rebatching wich are not so widely used such as adding the grated soap in a new traced soap and cook it as in the hot process method and some other variants. To tell you the truth, rebatching is a very subject polemic on soap making, as There Are People Who just plain hate it and Other People who like it a lot.
Ok, so now get Those old soap bits out of the cupboard and start rebatching Them and let me know if You are one of the ones who love it or hate it. Next day
more soap, Until Then, kisses for all.
