Reheat Lye?

[LolaFalana]

I made soap yesterday with room temp lye and it thickened up quickly. Could it be because of the fragrance oils? Black Pepper and Red Currant, both from Crafter's Choice. I was making salt bars and it got to trace fast. Its only my second time working with fragrance oils so its all very new. Is this common?

Soapmaker 3 has a spot in the lye calculator part that gives you the option of using masterbatched lye and then it tell you how much extra water you need.

I use mine totally at room temp. If I want it a little warmer all I have to do is stir it and it heats up.

I will definitely check out that calc. Thank you
