This week's question is...What was your biggest soapmaking mistake? A mstake that will go down in the history books from shocking to horrifying to funny. Let us know by posting below.
I'll start by sharing my own big mistake, since some of you may be shy with sharing this one...I once got a tiny speck of lye on my dry lips (you know how it comes in the tiny crystals that can become airborn). I went to moisten my lips when I got the shock of my life - a chemical burn on my tongue. Luckily I was quick to stick my tongue under running water and then tried gargling with vinegar. After nearly losing my lunch to the vinegar gargle, the burning sensation settled down. Within an hour, the burn was gone and my mouth was back to normal. I'm sure you can picture the scene unrolling. It was quite the spectacle.
Now it's your turn.
