Lye issue

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody,

Even though this is my first message I have been a faithful reader for

the past few months. As I am making a batch of goat milk soap right

now I decided to discount 16oz of water from the 20 and to add 4oz

water only to the lye(7.4oz) replacing the 16oz with milk which I was

thinking to add to the batch after the lye. While waiting for the lye

to cool down it turned like a very thick pudding before reaching 100-

105F so I poored 3oz additional water to the lye. The temp went up

again and as it cools down is maintaining the liquid form. As I've

never re-added water to the lye before I'm wondering if I didn't

compromise it in any way. Thanks in advance.
