How do you get the KOH dissolved?:p I have been heating and stirring for a half an hour, it seems like it should dissolve faster. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
 
I would guess your glycerin isn't hot enough, it has to be 200± degrees for the lye to dissolve. Even then it's still a pain!

I give it was too hot...I have to add a little at a time maybe! I'm not giving up though.
 
I've only made one batch but I heated the glycerine first and then I added the KOH. It dissolved quickly. Must have been quite hot because later I melted my best stick blender. :?
