I thought I was being careful about using stable ingredients (other than castor oil, which I know can accelerate, but it's still worth using), but I had my first ever seize today. I threw it into a pot and HP'd it, FWIW, but it doesn't look like it'll be usable. Can anyone tell me which of my ingredients or methods may have been the culprit so I can avoid this in the future?
40% Canola
20% each Castor, Coconut, and Palm oils
1 ounce Tea Tree oil (<5%)
20 grams GM powder mixed into oils
Himalayan pink salt dissolved in 33% lye / AVJ
No fragrance or coloring because there was no time to add any before the seize.
I didn't have a way to take temperatures, but the lye was probably around 70 F, and the oils were maybe around 90 F. I gave it 3 very brief buzzes with the SB before it seized big time.
Where did this go wrong?
