Failed batch of soap

[Guest guest]

Hi Anita..

 

>>>As far as I can tell everything looks good on the percentages...I've

>>>heard

of straight shea and olive oil soap, so that shouldn't have been the

problem. Did you have a lot of " floaties " in your lye water before you

added it to the oil? If your lye was bad, that is what would have

happened,<<<

 

Yes, I did, and wondered about that. Also, when I was pouring the lye out

to be weighed, it was rather " staticky " , like fly-away, and clinging to the

outside of the container, and flying on the counter.

 

>>>at least that is how I knew I had bad lye one time. It may be that you

>>>just

had the soapin gremlin come visit...we've all had problems at one time or

another with batches, even if it is the same recipe we've used 100's of

times. <<<

 

lol, yes, one of those unexplainable failures.

 

>>>However the only time I have heard of the amonia smell is with milk,

whether it be goat or cow. You did say water was what you used, didn't

you?<<<

 

I just posted about the milk protein I used, and now thinking back, the

ammonia smell must have come after I added that. I was thinking it

immediately smelled like ammonia, but now think I was so distracted by the

immediate trace, I'm not so sure. It must have come after I added that

milk product. Thanks, so much, for the feedback!
