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?

When I mixed the oil with the lye it instantly went solid before I could put it into moulds. I think I put too much Palm oil in. Next day grated half of that batch and reheated it and trickled 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? Pauline
