Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Colleen: These are typical of many of the questions my soap students ask. This is what I tell them. 1. There are no true HP recipes. They are just CP recipes that are cooked. Some people find that they design special recipes to HP, but you will find that these specially designed recipes will CP just as well. You did not get mashed potatoes (lumps etc.) because the recipe was not correct. You got mashed potatoes because you cooked the soap for too long! You went past the point of no return. That batch could be saved, but I'm afraid that you'd need a few more batches under your belt to get a soap you could give or sell to others. Just my opinion. 2. Most HP will cook in a preheated crock pot within one hour on low. Be sure the pot is preheated for 10 or 15 minutes. The traced soap will begin to get vaseline like around the outer edges in another 15 or so minutes. Do not stir, just wait for the whole pot to turn to gel. THEN stir and test. If you let the soap go past vaseline you've cooked too much. 3. HPing allows me to fill orders within a shorter timeframe. I also can keep a steadier inventory if I don't need to wait 4 weeks to place a fragrance into stock. 4. I do not make handmilled or rebatched soaps. I hate the process, I can only make shrunken head bars and they look gross! I hope you take these remarks in the friendly tone they are intended. Many of us do CPHP and have differing opinions. We all are telling what works for us. Enjoy the weekend! We are going to Clifton Park for a wedding - friend of DD . I'll be gone for two days but will catch up on what's going on Friday night.

You are going to cook off the water anyway and you need the water molecules to interact with the sodium hydroxide molecules and to carry them to all the acid molecules to form soap. The water makes it possible for the lye to reach the oils and turn them into soap. Not enough water and the lye doesn't reach the acids. You may or may not get lye pieces in the soap, but you will surely not get the same high quality soap that you would get if all the lye was able to reach the oils. Of course, any oils that do not bind with the lye/water will remain oils that we refer to as superfat. Does this make any sense???

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Hey Colleen, what happened to batch #1? You know, thats where the stick blender comes in handy, just about the time you get sick of standing over the sink stirring soap. I'll try and help you out with your questions... The recipes can be the same, but I believe you discount the water for cphp. I forget off top of my head how much tho, cphp has been much talked about lately on the lists im on. Question #2... for CPHP Some say at 200 degree for an hour, some say less than that for two hours give or take. Question #3... I havnt seen one good reason to do a hp over cp. I believe it will still need a cure time to become milder. Sure it may harden faster cuz youve cooked off the water or whatever but then you have to fight to make it look almost smooth. Question #4... Im my first year of soaping I did all rebatch or handmilling. I finally got tired of spending twice the time on the soap than it had to. I have a freind who swears by it, so its a personal choice. brb kids are yelling... Ok... well good Colleen! Glad you are trying soap from scratch! I know I totaly love it, but I just do CP with an occasional dabble in hp and mp and only rebatch if I absolutly have to (can you tell I dont like doing that? lol) The whole process is way cool! ttya! Shaye I DID IT!!! I made soap! Well CPHP soap anyway. I am certainly an mp soaper at heart. Standing there staring at a soap pot drove me crazy. Especially since the first batch I tried Wednesday had to go in the trash! But Thursday's batch, I believe, is going to be just fine. And now I've got questions!!! 1) Does the recipe you use have to be specifically for hot process? Can you use a cold process recipe? The first batch I made was a cp recipe, and that came out looking like a nasty, lumpy, clumpy tapioca. The second batch was an hp recipe, and so far it's just a little soft, but it keeps getting harder. (Of course I'm sure it'd be fine if I kept my fingers off from it!!!!) 2) How long is the actual (average, typical) cook time when making cp soap? I am very impatient and hate to wait, but there are some recipes I want to try. 3) For those of you that make hp instead of cp, why? Is it because the cure time is shorter? I'm just curious. 4) Does anyone make hand-milled soaps? What are the benefits of this process over the others? That should keep all of you busy answering me for a little while! At least I hope I will get some answers. Even though my first batch died, and my second took about 2 hours to cook, I can see where this can be addictive. There's just some strange rush you get out of putting oils & such into a pot and having it turn into soap!

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Thanks for the info Shaye! I don't know what happened to the first batch. I stirred everything together so it was blended. When I went back to check on it there was " soap " on top and a layer of liquid on the bottom of the crock. I kept stirring that back together, but it would keep separating out. I finally got sick of it, turned the crock off, and when it cooled it was how I described before. Yucky!!! Garbage man got that batch! Anyone know how to discount the water from a cp recipe to an hp recipe? Maybe I had too much water in it. Who knows! CP is on my list to try next, so be prepared for more questions!!!
