it came to my attention that one of the soaps i did is not quite right.
first I thought its only soda ash, but later i found its too solid (breaks too easily) and when tested through PH strips, i found it heavily Basic chemical.
so I'm guessing that i made wrong weighting for the oils vs lye.
Since I don't know what exactly the wrong ratio, I decided to make rebatch for it and add oils through hot process.
but how much oil i should add and what which oil?
since i though its trial and error experiment, i decided to add cheap oil (corn oil) and to add 100 gram per time.
I added oil 3 times, 100 gram first two times and 60 gram last time (added 60 grams because the bottle finished ).
it took 3 hours to cock it through microwave starting from melting till last pour of oil.
still not sure if i got it right or not.
I liked to share my experience and wish if anyone can advise me if I should have done it in different way ?
