13. To make Domestic Soap using Recycle Oil

a)      1000cc Recycle Oil

390cc Water

145gm NaOH

1Tbsp Salt

1Tbsp Sugar

2Tbsp Plain Flour

b)      Salt is added to reduce alkalinity.

Since both SuperFatting and Lye Reduction end up with a higher Oil proportion than Lye, technically, the final product should be the same, however, due to the fact that the addition of oil in SuperFatting is AFTER the addition of the Lye Solution, hence the nutrients of the SF Oil is not destroyed by the Lye as much as in Lye Reduction.

11.Water Multiple

The Standard Water Multiple is 2.5, but this is affected by a number of conditions:

a)      Addition of Pure Alcohol will speed up the Saponification process.  As Pure Alcohol exists in all Artificial Scents, hence by using one with high concentration of Pure Alcohol (e.g. any Rose essence), will introduce “spontaneous” Saponification.  This, however, also means that, if any Artificial Scent with a high concentration of Pure Alcohol is used in the recipe, moulding needs to be worked quickly as soon as it is added.

b)      On the other hand, if the soap mixture is not thickening as expected during the whisking step, adding a few CC of Artificial Scent containing high concentration of Pure Alcohol will solve the problem.

c)      Adding Powder[1] of any sort to the Soap Mixture also helps to harden the end product.  This is another way (other than adding Artificial Scent) to expedite Saponification.

9.SuperFatting

SuperFatting is when the amount of Oil exceeds the amount of Lye added.  Theoretically, the higher the amount of oil in the soap the better it is for the skin (and vice versa for the Lye), however, the more “Oil over Lye” the faster the deterioration, hence SuperFatted Soaps are not made commercially.  

5.Oil Separation (油水分離)

Once the Lye is added to the Oil Mixture, continuous whisking is required until there is “No Separation” between water and oil.  The higher the temperature the less whisking is required to achieve this, however, the higher temperature will result in greater loss of the nutritious values in the oils.

If the oil colour is DARK (colour change will occur if pre-soaked with certain plants, e.g. Comfrey, refer to Lavender Soap recipe), it is difficult to tell whether the separation has disappeared.  This needs to be checked by looking at the surface of the Oil.  There will be a thin layer of oil that floats on the Soap Mixture surface initially (when the Lye Solution is added), it will appear in the shape of a new moon while whisking.  The Soap Mixture is ready when the new moon shape disappears.

以前在為自己的手工皂拍照時~基本上~有幾個原則~
1.沒有太陽~我就不拍~因為呈現不出該有的明暗與氣氛~
2.心情不好~我就不拍~因為~我會沒耐性~多照幾個漂亮的角度~
3.我拍照不喜歡有人跟~因為~會讓我分心~又要聊天~又要顧時間~這實在很煩....所以~至今只有我女友看過

認識法國妹~不知是1年還是兩年~總之~我記得~是在一個夏天的早晨~原本是由她媽媽要來上我的課的~但因為時間趕不及~而由女兒上場代打~辛好是這樣的決定~讓我們後來的人生有點不一樣~

在早上上課~對我與學生來說~都是一種壓力~因為~我作息不定(如同這個時間再寫網誌一樣....)~一早還沒回神~就要上課~我哩......那又因為我是傳說中的"師奶殺手"~同學們上我的課都會很興奮~而尖叫或聊天的聲音就會很大~這種音波對我來說~也是難以承受的~一般來講~我們早上都馬是聽輕音樂~而非重金屬吧~所以~早上的我是很不耐煩的.....還請同學們多擔待一點....

生命是件很奇怪的東西~不管你願不願意~終究還是來到這世上..........
既然來到這世上~我們只能盡量使自已好過些.........

      "時間管理"會成為許多在進步的人類必須學習的課題~在不景氣的年代~有許多人因失業~而頻繁著到處找工作~也有多許人意識到自身的學習~已無法滿足於此競選激烈的職場環境下~而選擇再度進修~不管是語文類或各式技能證照班~都大有人在~補習業在此不景氣下似乎意外的討喜~~~不管是否無薪休假在家或是到外充電進修~我們都面臨到"時間"不斷的在流逝這個事實~尤其是連續假期的到來~時間跑的更快~~~~

      我的工作是教授手工皂製作的老師並兼手工皂的代工業者~是一位單純的SOHO族~如果沒有固定的案子那就沒有固定收入~所以~"無薪休假"這個名詞~打從四年前創業的那一天~我就有很深層的體會~就是~沒作事我就會餓死~再也回不到以前給公司養的那種所謂的月薪制或年薪制的生活了~(我們放連續的假期~公司薪水還是要照給)

9月~10月剛好到了台灣玫瑰的產季~剛好最近我上了很多玫瑰手工皂的課程~又剛好有部份很乖的同學紀錄了相關手工皂的製作心得~又剛好今晚我睡不著.............許多的剛好加起來~就湊成了此篇部落格~以下的照片與連結~都是分屬不同單位的學生們作的~~~~一樣的配方~大家各自有不同的名字~真還真有趣~~~~有興趣的冰友就點進去看看囉~~
