I will bring in my recipe tomorrow and send it out.  I mixed the lye to the oil.
Will the soap be any good?  How about I dust it with a little talc to get rid 
of the stickiness or maybe some flour/baking soda/baking powder and then dust 
if of?

in filtered water slowly.  Took another 600mls but it looked like and felt like 
it had a bad cold (snotty).  As it cooled it turned white and was manageable 
but now feels sticky.  What went wrong?
