Isg, thank you very much. I will give that one a try. I found the answer to my question. That being, “No” you should not use an oil that smells rancid because it could keep your soap from fully saponifying.
A recipe, but I found one. I actually have a question, I have some lard, the new recipe with hydrogenated lard. It smells off even though it’s been in the cool house and all that good stuff is it going to effect the soap or should I buy some new?
