How NOT to make soap



Recipe for Soap disaster:

1. Correct amounts of oils.

2. Correct amount of water.

3. Measure incorrect amount of sodium hydroxide approx two and a half times the amount required

4.Mix together.

Trace takes about two seconds. Fizzing commences. Wild potent(toxic?) steam crowds every nook and cranny of kitchen space.

5. Take outside in panic


Yep folks thats one bottle of pure olive oil, half a can of rice bran oil, half a bottle of coconut oil and 285gms of caustic soda down the gurgler.

If anyone finds my brain can they return it please..

soap...
