Soap Making: Simple Fat Boil and Lye Mix Method
The guide describes a basic soap recipe using fat and lye with water added in stages. It lists equipment such as a enamel kettle, mixing spoon, lye jar, a cotton cloth lined box for curing, and a large cardboard box for covering. It also details a nine pound recipe with fat, water, and lye measurements and safety steps for handling lye.
Soap Making From Fat and Lye: Steps and Curing Time
Melt fat in an enamel pan or creek until it behaves like syrup. Add a cooled lye solution in a thin stream while stirring in one direction. Keep ingredients hot enough and stir to a honeylike texture before pouring into a cloth lined wooden mold. Cure for two weeks to ensure a neutral product that preserves color and fabric.
