Basic Liquid Soap - sunflower, palm kernel

Notes:
HTHP method used, no external heat applied.
Total cook time approx 20 min
Used 5 oz glycerin for part of the liquid.
Very fast to trace, moderate extended volcano.
Finished paste very stiff and stuck to pot like cement. Try adding sodium lactate next time or change liquid to full 38%.
