kayearthgrown Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I just made a batch of soap, melted my hard oils and added the lye water, started to trace when I realized it didn't look like a 2 pound batch then it hit me I hadnt added my other oils. I quickly stirred my other oils in and mixed really good and poured. My question is will this batch be ok. or should I dump it? will it be lye heavy since it had started to trace before I added my other oils?

Scented Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 You're about to find out. It'll probably be fine as long as your late addition was mixed in well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 hehe.. yeah you will know if its not. And if its not, you can always do a rebatch. Should be fine if you mixed everything in real well though. As long as there is enough lye, it will do its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I made the same mistake before and it turned out okay. Hope yours will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faerywren Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 As long as everything was incorporated well and you had enough lye in the recipe for all the oils (even the ones you added late) it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayearthgrown Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 So far the soap looks fine, I did the zap test nothing happened. Will try the soap in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
