Note to self....if you decide to increase the recipe by a factor of 3, make sure your pot is big enough to handle it.
Once the oil was melted and ready for the lye, I realized the pot wasn't big enough to handle it all. Mad dash (with BF's help) to pour half the oil in a second pot and then eyeball half the lye solution in each pot. NOT the way to do it. I did achieve trace in both, though, and got it all molded. We'll see what happens...:-|
