Hello...I am new to soapmaking I have made just a few batches. I made the mistake to write half ingredient numbers beside the ingredients so I put half of the olive oil instead of the 20 oz I put 10 oz....I didn't realize this until after making the batch and poring....it came out of the mold fine and is the right hardness but wouldn't this soap be lye heavy now? I plan to test the PH when it is fully cured...is it a given that I will have to re batch and if so once I melt down the re batch do I add more olive oil? I read if you did this your soap will not lather...so much to learn...Thank you for any help

It is lye heavy. Chunk it up with gloves on, add it to a crockpot, add the missing oil and rebatch.
