Here Dahlia is stirring up the mixture (Including Dangerous LYE). The mixture heats up pretty quickly when the LYE is added. You then have to place your bowl quickly in an ice bath to bring the temperature down. This is added to her chemistry lesson in our homeschooling.
We added oatmeal & lavender to one batch, citrus & thyme to the other. |
Here the soaps will sit for up to 6 weeks to "cure". The metal mold tray was lined with plastic liners to prevent a chemical reaction with the LYE.
