I guess I'm not getting the hang of this liquid soap thing! lol So, this is my 3rd? maybe 4th attempt and I have this weirdness going on! Amusingly enough, I was feeling fairly relaxed this time and not all nerves! Guess I should have been more nervous, eh? Any way, it was time for me to make more liquid soap since we've been washing our hands so much recently. I followed the directions, using equal amounts of H2O and KOH. It dissolved quickly. I added 10 oz of glycerin and stirred and then added that mixture to my warmed oils
I stick blended for a few minutes and couldn't see any separation, so I let it 'work its magic'. When I came back an hour later, my paste wasn't a paste. It looked exactly like it does in the photos - with a harder paste-like substance on the bottom of the pot and all the oils on top. I covered it back up and kept checking it. It's now 5 hours since I first covered it up and nothing has changed.
What now? Did I not reach emulsification? Is this a complete do-over?
Counting on all of you experts to let me know! @DeeAnna @IrishLass *Zany_in_CO
Thanks in advance!
