My oils are about 140F and the lye is about 110F. Should i still mix them?
 
I'd wait til they're cooler, but it's a personal preference. If you're using an FO, they definitely need to be cooler in my experience. Remember, patience is a virtue! (Mind you, I'm not a virtuous woman!)
 
Okay I went ahead and mixed them when the oils were 115F and the lye was 93F. Thank you for the fast reply! :D
