Hi everyone, I'm new here and to soaping. Last night I attempted my 2nd batch of HP soap it was a simple recipe with only 8oz. each of 2 oils so I don't know how I messed it up but I think I added the same amount of lye as water which was 6 oz. I cooked the soap 6 hours and it would not gel and the lye did not neutralize so I gave up, is there anything I can do to save this soap? Please any help is appreciated, Thank you
I used Coconut and Olive and yes I did run thru a calc that's why I'm so upset with myself for messing this up when I measured out the lye I kept saying to myself this doesn't seem right but I added it to my oils anyway. I cooked it so long trying to get it to gel and also to try and cook the lye out, I did the zap test and almost burned my tongue out.
