Hi everyone. I just wanted to remind everyone that no matter how long you have been making soap or using Lye, don't get so comfortable you neglect your safety measures. I recently had a very painful reminder of what can happen when you least expect it.
I was making some decrative individual soaps using a squeez bottle to do sort of piping thing when my tip got clogged. Being a man I did what most men would do and squeezed harder. The nozzle blew off and into the mold I was decorating and the soap batter splashed up into my face covering one side of my face and into my mouth. I rushed to the sink and washed it off as quickly as possible and then jumped into the shower for a final rinse, but the damage was done. I did not have on safety glasses, but thanks be to God, NONE got into my eyes. I had burns all over my face and around my eye only God could have kept me safe that day. I was going to post a picture, but it wasn't a pretty face before the burns. LOL.
So I said all that to say, please be safe and wear your gear. You only have 2 eyes and I can testify lye on the face does not feel good.
Thank
Kirk C.
