Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 When I was making my soap yesterday, aparently I didn't stir the lye enough to totally desolve it. So when I added it to the oils there was a bunch crystalized on the bottom of the jar. I went ahead with it anyway and when I unmoled the soap today it was really soft and oily. I am guessing there wasn't enough lye to fully saponify the oils. So my question is....what can I do with it now? Juliet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 It was originaly processed ITMOP. Can I still cook it on the stove? And do i need to add anything to it? I'm not sure I understand why cooking it further would change it...
