So I have a rose soap I made four weeks ago that siezed on me as I was pouring. I basically cut the tops off cause they were all nubby and uneven and I've been tearing up the pieces for embeds for later. No gloves mind you and haven't had any problems.
Today I decided to wrap a few of the bars for some friends - they are ugly but my friends want rose soap so I'm happy to share.
That's when I noticed I had a small chemical burn on my finger. This is my first burn ever in my 6 months of soaping. I've been touching this soap for weeks and haven't had a problem. Where did this darn thing come from?
I do have some less than 24 hour soap still in molds in my "soap room" and I did pick up the mold today to see how it was coming along. Maybe I picked it up from that?
Maybe there are some little lye buggers floating around I didn't notice?
Needless to say no one is getting any rose soap till I figure this out. Any advice?
Maybe I just burned it on the toaster this morning and forgot... / When the kids are yelling at me I get pretty distracted.
