Made soap in chemistry lab on high school... we all had our little beakers of oil on stands over bunsen burners. At some point we had to add a quantity of alcohol and stir like crazy to integrate it without letting it boil... this would allow the soap particles to form. This one pair of dingbat boys did not stir and it boiled over... when a solution full of alcohol boils over a bunsen burner, it becomes a puddle of rapidly spreading flames all over the desk top... exactly what our poor patient teacher had warned us about. If he didnt drink before those two yahoos took his class, he should have taken it up!!😂
😮😮Oh wow. That is crazy. but yes you do have to be careful of any fats or oils near open flames but I bet the alcohol exaggerated the situation. I've never heard of using alcohol for saponifying soap. mmmm. I have seen soap makers spray rubbing alcohol into soap to disperse air bubbles, but it was regular made with lye soap
What a busy week you had! Thanks for taking us along with you. Can't wait to see if your cheese turns out!
Thank you for coming along! I will be checking on the cheese later today; I'll try to remember to film that!

I love the way you show daily life. 🩵
I'm glad you enjoy it. This is just some of my crazy life around here.
