Daringly, I damped my finger and ran it over the remains of the soap in the soap pot (which is already pretty darned hard). I wanted to see what full zap feels like.
Zap...none. I got a faint and not unpleasant flavor of soap (nor did I go blind like Ralphie). That's it. I put the mold to bed about an hour ago.
Is that normal? Did I do something wrong?
I measured to the gram on everything extremely carefully, making sure not to miss anything. But I need reassurance.
Also, the soap in the mold is already pretty darned hard. Perhaps the 40% coconut is doing that...I used 2.6 times as much water as lye, and water as a percent of oil weight was 38%.
