First of all, let me say I enjoy reading these forums all the time, but have until now to post. I have found lots of useful tips, info, and all around wonderful. This time however, I have a problem I haven't been able to easily find info on.

I was going to make an older oil bar. I have the kids flying around today and was in -soap mode- lol. I measured out the normal amount of water for my regular soap recipe, then checked how much lye to use. I completely forgot it's a different amount of water for the olive oil soap.

Recipe is
1250g olive oil
160.9g lye
412.5g water (I used 474.5g)

My question is, being 60g heavy on the water, will the soap turn out ok with a few extra days in the mold? It usually pops out the next day fine. Or should I add enough lye to make it for a regular batch and throw it in a glass jar for tomorrow?

Lol after 6 yrs of making soap, I figure it's time I botched something!

Thanks for any help.

Roughly 2 ounces of excess water in 2.75 pounds of oil. I would think it should be okay with just a few days extra in the mold.

Just give it a good 4-6 week cure time. It should be fine. I would not change the lye amount at this point because you would need more water to dissolve the new lye. Plus adding more lye would make your soap less superfatted and could make it irritating to the skin.

Thanks a lot. I went ahead and poured it late yesterday afternoon. None of my cp soaps cure for less than 4 weeks :wink:

I'm usually too OCD on the measurements, but I had 3 out of 4 kids running underfoot yesterday. Oh the joys of having to do work during the summer months with kids lol

I feel your pain! I am counting down the days until my kids go back to school so I can run my business in peace!
