Hi All! I have a problem I'm hoping someone has a solution to. I froze my canned coconut milk then added my lye slowly, it was fine until I had to abandon the process due to an emergency. So it sat there on the counter overnight and the next day. Now my lye/milk mixture is the...

Ok, I have been making a Sea Salt Bar for nearly 2 years now, been selling it for well over a year. They sell well enough, but I think they'd sell much better if I could just put it into WORDS the quality of the Sea Salt Bar.... I stumble and stutter and TRY to explain it. I even told one...
