Fixing Mica Soaping Boo Boo - Test 1

In this video, I embark on an exciting journey, fixing the mica soaping boo boo and merging it with the Shea Butter Surfactant Soap experiment. The Shea Butter Surfactant experiment ends and the fixing the mica soaping boo boo off. This is test 1.
I’ll explore how to repurpose 5 pounds of soap mishap, a challenge that, in the past, would have stumped new soap makers. Join me as I hopefully transform what was once considered a stain-inducing soap into a wonderful product.
"If you're new to the world of soap making, it's essential to take your time and gain experience before attempting a partial rebatch project. Progress step by step, savor the learning process, and don't be too hard on yourself - remember to find humor even in challenging moments. When you end up with soap that didn't turn out as planned, store it in a breathable container while keeping detailed records of the ingredients and what went wrong. Periodically revisit your 'boo-boo' soap, and one day, you'll experience that 'eureka' moment, transforming your mishap into a masterpiece."
As I indicated in the video, as a point of reference I have listed the oils, superfat and water for this partial rebatch test project.
Shea Butter Surfactant Soap (POR):
Beef Tallow - 75%
Castor Oil - 10%
Sunflower Oil - 15%
Superfat - 7%
Mica Mishap Soap (POR):
Beef Tallow - 75%
Castor Oil - 15%
Coconut Oil - 10%
Superfat - 8%
Water to Lye - 3:1
Partial Rebatch Formula = Fresh Oils & Shreds
Batch Size approximately 26 oz
Total Oils including Shreds = 16oz
Shreds = 4.4oz
Shreds Shea Butter Surfactant Soap = 3.3oz (15% weight of oils)
Shreds Mica Mishap Soap = 1.1oz (5% weight of oils)
Oils = 12oz
Beef Tallow = 50%
Coconut Oil = 20%
Castor Oil = 10%
Sunflower Oil = 20%
Superfat = 7% (based on new fats only)
Water to Lye Ratio = 4:1
Essential Oil Blend = 5%
Sodium Lactate 2% based on oils and shreds = 9 grams
