Swim was attempting to make a dye with acacia and after adding the base he decided to let it over night


it dried out and is like concrete what do i do now? i tried boiling water and dumping it on it and it helped a little but not much.

my friend said he would like to extract it but would be willing to sacrifice the pull just to use the mixing bowl again

exactly right but its washing soda and not lye(lye isn't available where he lives but it still gets a decent pull)

Yeah just slightly heat it up after adding a little water. When i was extracting, i'd put all the Sodium Carbonate in a jar and pour the small amount of brew into it. I've experienced things getting "hard as a rock", literally you could hit someone in the head with it and it'd probably knock em' out lol, but i found the answer to that was to sit the jar on my candle warmer and after it heated up it was liquid again.

alright that's good thanks!


surprised there aren't more posts on this.

hot water worked thanks everyone!
