So....I made my first batch of CP soap. I followed all precautions....including mixing the lye and water outside because I have a McCaw and 2 dogs. The weirdest thing happened.....the lye floated in the air.....out of the bottle there were all these little tiny balls of lye. I looked around....there wasn't a breath of air outside. I'm thinking that maybe the lye is negatively charged or something(chemestry 101....lol). I'm thinking that maybe I need to measure the lye inside and then adding to the water outside. I am trying to be very careful with the lye...I don't want any kind of accidents inside the house. Has this happened to anyone else......should I measure the lye inside the house and then combine it with the water outside?....Can someone please advise.....Is there lye crystals that can be purchased? If there are...I would much rather use the crystal then the floatie ball type....anyway...my first batch turned out pretty good....it's been a little over a week. Other then the soap having to absorb some of the oils....it's turning out pretty good. If anybody can respond to some of the questions I had...it would be greatly appreciated.
