Roxanne Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Lye solution lasts a long time. If it was covered so you didn't lose water to evaporation, you should be good to go. If it was uncovered, you might want to add a small amount of water to make up for any that might have evaporated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_deb Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Sorry, just seeing this. I have had lye solution in a jug with the lid on and kept it for a few weeks before I made soap with no problem. As soon as the jug gets low, I make another batch. It really makes my life easier to have the lye solution pre-made and ready when I get a chance to make soap.Did you make your yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
