Hello! I am about to make my first batch of soap - yippee!! I was going to set up in my office area, but I'm wondering if it would be considered well-ventilated. It's a fairly large room, has a mini split and a ceiling fan, two windows I can open though not super large. I'm thinking I can open the windows some and turn on the ceiling fan.
If I mix the lye and water outside, am I good working in that space for the rest of the process? Seems like the worst part for fumes is the actual mixing of the lye with water, but do I need to be concerned the whole way through?
I don't have a big respirator mask, but I do have some Covid masks - do those help for now? Thanks in advance!!
