So my pink Himalayan salt arrived and I decided to make brine soap this morning. I was more worried about the lye dissolving completely, so I decided to dissolve the lye first, and then add the salt to the hot lye water. I've been stirring for about 20 minutes now, and there still seems to be a lot of undissolved salt. I went with the recipe that suggested the weight of salt at 25% that of the water. Have I just not given it enough time? More stirring? Or should I just try to pour slowly and leave the undissolved salt, as much as possible, behind in the pot.
Although, I may not have to worry about that, because our power has gone out, and now I don't have any way to melt my oils! Grrrrrrrrrrr.
