Landa Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I would like to make an all olive oil soap but Im wondering...do I just put the 100 degree lye solution in room temp Olive oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Sure, that will work. It's a personal preference type of thing - some people like to match oil and lye temp, but if I'm just using soft oils, I just use them at RT. Why waste electric?

elle110 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 And all this time I have been heating the oil up for my castile, in fact just got done with a batch on Sunday.Thanks for the time saving info, I guess I thought the oils had to be warm to workMichelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I have always used room temp. lye. It seems to make everything behave better and trace happens a lot quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
