i've posted in the candle pages but not the soap, so first of all Hello Everyone! anyways, thanks to reading lots of your threads i made my first CP soap! it's not the prettiest in the world, but its soap! but i do have a question... I unmolded the soap yesterday and wanted to test it out a little, so i washed my hands a bit and didn't feel a burn or anything. isnt it supposed to have a zap (i dont think i really know what 'zap' means)... did i not use the right amount of lye? it lathers just like soap and everything and i used the measurements of the soapcalc. i know it has to cure for 4-6 weeks, i guess i just don't know what new soap is supposed to feel like. So if someone could explain this zap to me i would greatly appreciate it :smiley2:
