I just got........ZAPPED.

[gemsupthepoley]

Well folks, I had a problem soap the other week and a few folk came to the rescue with advice. Zapp was mentioned and I said I didn't know what it was like/didn't know if I was getting it or not.

Well, after testing my salt bar after cutting (for experimental zap purposes) I most definately got an INSTANT ZAP:shock:.

That's another bit of the learning curved covered:razz:

And you lived!

Congratulations on joining the club. I hope you never have to feel it again.

I hope you never have to feel it again.

I certainly will never have to ASK again.

Goes away quicker than the taste of soap though!

I find that rinsing one's mouth instantly does help (I've actually slightly burned my tongue with lye). Something acidic to drink nearby is also a good idea.

Let your soap cure for a couple of weeks and try again.

I'm scared to death of getting zapped. to my hubby for being my zap tester.

I still fondly remember the first time I got zapped....but that's for another forum
Welcome to the zapped club. It's a right of passage...for soapers of course.

First (few) times I got zapped from testing HP early I actually burned my tongue. But that was because I didn't rinse out my mouth fast enough. I do it over the sink now with running water, so that I have access if I do get zapped and I swish the water in my mouth. However, I'm much more aware of when my HP is done and I haven't been zapped in a long while (except that time recently that I wanted to make sure there was a lye excess for my cooking oil experiment).

Please, honey, even at my age I can get zapped two or three times a week.

Welcome to the ABZ club! {already been zapped}

@ Balloons, You need to be zapped at least once so you know what its like hahaha..dont be skeered :-D

I had my first zap this morning! I had a problem batch which separated on me when I added the fragrance oil, so I blended blended blended and got it pretty much back together and in the mould. On unmoulding it looked very lumpy so I was expecting it not to have saponified properly, and on testing...I was right. How unpleasant!

Baloons, it really isn't THAT scary, but when you get zapped, you won't have to ask yourself.....you'll know, oh yeah, I just got zapped!
