CORRECTIONS to The Complete Soapmaker, by Norma Coney
Note to the reader: the changes on page 34 are particularly important and should be noted for reasons of safety.
On page 34, step 5 should read:
5. Make sure that the pitcher with water in it is resting on a protected surface. Carefully and slowly pour the lye into the water. Use your wooden spoon to lessen any splashing of the lye solution caused by chunks of lye dropping into the pitcher. Don’t make the mistake of adding the water to the lye.
On page 34, the first sentence of step 6 should read:
6. After you’ve added all the lye to the water, stir the solution gently with a wooden spoon until you’re sure that all the lye has dissolved.
On page 50, the first sentence of step 6 should read:
6. Continue to stir periodically until the soap has reached a pudding-like consistency.
On page 50, the first sentence of step 7 should read:
7. When the soap has reached a pudding-like consistency, remove it from the heat and stir it gently as it cools.
Soapmaking, once a practical necessity for the homemaker, has almost passed out of the repertoire of home crafts. Nevertheless, one can still make homemade soap with delightful fragrances and interesting textures. This book provides detailed instructions and recipes for basic lye soaps made with animal or vegetable fats and for hand-milled and specialty soaps using almond meal, chamomile, glycerin, and milk that expand on those basic formulas. Shampoos and liquid soaps are covered as well.
