pixie Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 A weird thing happened to my lye solution today. It got all crusty and reminded me of how snow is sometimes when it has a layer of crust on top. Below the crusty layer, the solution turned into a very thick gel. The only thing different that I did was used all aloe this time instead of water (I usually use all water) in the lye. Would the aloe cause this?? I have used a half aloe half water solution in the past but it was fine, didnt turn all weird like this time. Has anyone had this happen to them before? I've been making soap for quite a few years but this is the first time the lye turned like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
