So I got a new supply of KOH on the bag is says 90% pure but the last two times it has gone hard and bright green. Today it went solid within 30mins from trace.
Liquid Required (Excluding: Glycerine) 885.18 g
KOH Weight at 90 % Purity 590.12 g (adjusted for citric acid)
Olive Oil 1625g
Coconut Oil, 76 deg 625g
Castor Oil 250g
Citric Acid 25g (added to lye water)
Glycerine 590.12 g added at same time as lye to oils.
Previous successful liquid soap stayed a nice yellow.
Whenever I have done a soap that has olive oil that goes green my husband & I pretty much determine that it is unusable. But maybe we are wrong.
But why has it gone solid? Could the purity be not 90% and maybe higher. It made a very loud crackle sound when I add to water (more than my previous supply). Attached is the soap gone hard and bright green within 30mins of trace and yes that spoon is being held up by the paste.
Please help.
