Just recently I started using premixed lye solution (1:1)
I had some solution left over from December and used it in my latest batch, but my soap which usually hardens after 1 day is still soft and oily after 5 days. This is something I've never experienced in the past. So I'm wondering if the lye goes bad.
It came to trace just fine. A little slow, but I attributed that to me being extra cautious with the SB to avoid seizing, which has been my usual problem.
