I used a small container that I thought was clean to scoop my lye. When I went to wash that container the water turned light pink and I knew that it was phenol. It was the same container that I had test some soap a couple of days ago. The phenol was dried to the container.
Do I need to dump the lye water and start with a new batch? Even though the phenol was dried on I dont know if it contaminated my lye. Also I used a wooden spoon to mix the lye and water, Iam thinking that maybe I need to get something else because I notice a little bit of yellowing in the water and I know its from the spoon.
