    Volcano in HP soap. Garbage or fixable?

    The random lump It's still sitting there! I haven't had time to deal with it. Pretty sure I will just put it in the burn barrel and send it on its way. There's a solid mass and then there's some watery stuff. I'm just not willing to experiment with it, even as laundry soap, since I really don't...

    Volcano in HP soap. Garbage or fixable?
