Will any adverse effects happen? Just curious. All of the advice I've seen is to have the lye water and oils as close as possible in temperature.
Here's what's going on, I went home for my lunch break and mixed up lye and water and measured my oils for this goat's milk soap I want to try making later, just so I can cut down on the amount of time involved in the project when I'm home for the evening.
I put the lye water out in the garage and my oils are ready to go in the kitchen. But now I'm thinking duh, now my lye water is going to be cold and my oils warm when I'm ready to mix! Since it is a GM soap I am going to stick it in the fridge or freezer afterwards anyway to prevent partial gel but I guess I never really knew if a big temp difference between the lye water/oils when combined would have any "bad" effects.
Thanks a lot for helping out this newbie.
