The Tongue Test WAS liquid soap help

[Guest guest]

I don’t think I’d tell a newbie soapmaker to use the tongue test. If by

chance you’ve made really lye-heavy soap, you may burn the tip of your

tongue. If you burn the tip of your tongue you will live. You are not

going to lick the thing like a popsicle. Now, I’ve been making soap for

years, and yes I have pH strips, and no I don’t use them much. I touch my

tongue to the soap, and from that I know exactly how far I am from total

saponification. You can’t tell me most soapers don’t do this.

okay. (disclaimer.-. DO NOT DO THIS IT IS DANGEROUS. IF YOU DO THIS YOU

ARE TAKING YOUR OWN TONGUE INTO YOUR OWN HANDS. YOU CAN SERIOUSLY BURN YOUR

SELF IF YOU DO THIS. I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT YOU DO THIS I DO THIS MYSELF

ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I AM THE IDIOT WHO WILL BE BLAMED FOR HURTING

MYSELF.)

 

when you don't have ph test strips you can touch the tip of your tongue to

it to see if it's hot... (I call it hot but it's more like a battery to

tongue... I know you're not supposed to do that, but sometimes I have to do

what I can till you get what you need.) Anyway. if it tingles on your

tongue it's not ready.
