Hi Susie, Ran the recipe through soapcalc.net and it's the same recipe that has worked in the past Same Koh also, from a local supplier. Same scale, only difference is that I used to make soap stove top and this time I got a new crock pot, so I doubled the quantity of everything. Maybe I am...

Thank you .... I mixed xanthan gum and baking soda with the soap and turned some into dishwash liquid and EWax and lemongrass oil and water with soap and made some floor cleaner. Both worked pretty well today and is soft on hands too. I have stored some to repair with diluted koh to understand...
