I have seen recipes for pine in soap and wanted to try it. Today I did. It was very strange. I'm not sure if it ever actually traced. When I poured the lye water into the oil (that I had infused with pine gum), it looked like it was just about to trace, then all of a sudden it looked like orange split pea soup. I stirred for a little longer, but it didn't help. I just went ahead and poured it into the mold. Very strange. I'll check it tomorrow and see what it's like then.
Has anyone else ever tried pine gum/sap/pitch (whatever you call it) in your soap?
