Making Soap Hot Process Method Part 1

[loadrunnerste]

random tip: do not use aluminum equipment, it dissolves in lye

Ok... This is awesome! - it looks like that is a Cowboys crock pot?!?! You have home made beer and are making soap!

i also love the cowboys, make my own beer AND im starting to make my own soap!

have you ever made beer soap?

[soapmaker777]

do you have the crock pot on Hi or Low?

I've heard that you shouldn't use Red Devil Lye because it contains all kinds of extra additives that can be harmful like lead...and others. Is this true?

[soapmaker777]

@MrMfloor Red Devil Lye is ok to use...it's Drano that contains metal.

Thanks so much for these easy to understand directions. Makes the hot process method a lot less intimidating :)

[chinewmarie]

is it true that hot process soap holds fragrances better after curing than cold process soap....I want a great smelling soap that lasts any suggestions?

[HilsHeavenScents]

This is incredibly helpful to me, I have been wanting to try this method and seeing someone do it helps so much.

Thank you!

I bought my lye at a local ACE Hardware. Lowe's and Home Depot did not carry lye.

I thought "HOT" process was to remove the glycerin?

i love the vid. i have been afraid to try it but i think i'm ready. problem:where did you get your lye. i've checked local stoes with no luck and it costs more to ship than the actual lye costs. love some help

@yalabell

Very difficult to find in any retail store anymore because it is an ingredient in meth. You have to order online. Which is ironic since soap makers need small amounts and you can order online in HUGE amounts.

This looks like crock pot hot process to me. It begins like cold process then you cook it after the trace to finish saponification more quickly before molding. Cold process you don't cook it , mold it right after the trace. It finishes saponification in the mold and cure time is longer than by cooking it.. Nice videos

[mukwah1111]

I would add both the lime and the vanilla...I think multi-scents are more interesting in scent - rather than just a single scent. Thats just my opinion tho. Your vids are super ! Thanks for posting them !

[loriadkins]

This is actually cold process soap making. Great job though. Welcome to the addiction. :)

(I'm trying to learn how to make soap ;0/ )
