Soap Making

The reason I am all trussed up is that soap making is a risky business with the soap mix being caustic for 24 hours. I should have full face protection – must get to B&Q. Here I am weighing the fats and oils, precision and temperature control are the keys to success… next I hang my head out of the stable door to avoid breathing in the fumes as I mix together caustic soda with ice cold goats milk. Then I blitz the whole lot together in a large bucket using a plaster mixer drill attachment and quickly pour before it saponifies in the bucket.
