So I'm doing some calculations for a batch of soap today, which will be the second batch to which I add a 39% solution of EDTA for chelation. It's a similarly sized recipe to the one I previously added EDTA to, and I noticed that the amount of solution was quite different than the first.
I have been using Irish Lass' two-part equation to calculate, but after recalculating the first and second recipes it turns out that I badly botched the first one. Apparently as a musician who can only reliably count to 4, I accidentally doubled my oil weight so there's way too much EDTA in the first batch.
My question is, is this super-chelated batch now trash? Will it cause ill effects in the soap? It's now two weeks old and I haven't done any testing yet.
