I followed the instructions to the "T" and now it is really, really hard. According to my instruction I am to try mixing it a little once a week and still I have to use my potato masher and it's really hard to work. I then re-cover and put it back away. When testing it does show a very mild ph7ish to 8 which is great I just hope it loosens up a bit! However by my recipe it says after about 5 weeks it should relax and easier to whip.. After reading this forum I wonder if it is going to take more like 6 months!

That should make it a little better. I think.

No way I could wait that long. I'm gonna try a version with cp soap instead, it takes less efforts and time to be ready for use.<br /><br />Yet, I'm really looking forward to see how yours will be like!
