Sink was running any time I was messing with the lye solution
Lye solution was done in the tote because it was handy, and was done to prevent any running spills that could have occured. On the range under the fume hood
Verifying the setting on thermometer
Coconut oil is a solid at room temp, 20 seconds in the microwave is enough to liquify
All of the 4 oils totaled 15 oz
