put the partially-cooked soap back on the stove. after curing out in the bodega for a week or so, it finished in only a few minutes, turning into something resembling vaseline. I might make a second batch tomorrow, with the recalculated ingredients. I plan to subtract 14 ml from the necessary water, since most of the 14.5 percent "contaminants" in the potassium hydroxide I presume to be water.
