These seem to be kinda silly questions for someone who has been making soap for several years, but I have recently returned to it after a 4 year gap and I feel I have forgotten quite a bit.
Firstly, is what you call rubbing alcohol the same as the alcohol spray we currently spray everywhere obsessively to avoid Covid?! (I don't live in the States so sometimes the terms people use on the forum confuse me).
Secondly, if my oils are around 100 Fahrenheit, how cool can my lye be? I have always tried to get oils and lye to around the same temperature, but the other day I tried with the lye at around 80 and it was great, it traced nice and slowly.
