did you add your tea to the lye? gotta always add lye to liquid. glad your ok, I dont use glass, I use hard plastic container from hardware store, its worked for over 150 batches.
We've used a plastic cup and spoon up until tonight. My boyfriend was in the garage mixing the lye, and TWICE it bubbled up and exploded. And then the rest started melting the spoon and the container! I mixed the lye this afternoon with the exact same things. Does anyone know what would cause this? I thought maybe it was the bottom of the lye jug, and more concentrated or something, but it's still about a quarter full. Whaaaaatt..??
