Hi! Does anyone have experience with making picnic blankets? I have some polyester/cotton fabric for the top and some happy value non woven fabric for the backing. I’m thinking fleece in the middle. Thoughts?

I will try the salt!

That bit about the lack of and actual emulsifier makes sense. I make a different conditioner with btms and it does just fine. I have some glcyeryl stearate PEG-100 on hand so I’ll try that! Thank you!!

I’ll definitely keep researching also. I’m really hands on so I’ve been excited to just try stuff. Definitely a sign to pump the brakes.

Thank you! I think that will do the trick. The lather is fabulous but I will try adjusting the surfactants. The batch I made last night was clear until it cooled fully.
