Melanie Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I made soap yesterday and today its well it zapped me. Can it be saved or is this one batch I need to chalk up to experience? If it can be saved, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jes432 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Assuming you did a 6lb batch with those oil percentages and at 5% SF the amount of lye used should be fine. Some soaps will still zap in first 24hrs. I'd wait and test again in a couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
