Made them using the hot process, so they should be usable straight away although a little drying out would be good for them. I would like to be able to test the pH to make sure I've made sap for humans and not for cleaning ovens, but sadly the pool testing kit can't tell if it's in the right range.

Cool. I've always wanted to try it but always found other projects more pressing. Hoorah for more hobbies.
More hobbies indeed :-) I suspect this one can also be addictive if you let it. I've already made a second batch even though I can't confirm the first batch is usable! I'm also looking out for ingredients to try clear soap. That needs (apparently) ethanol. Recipes say 70% to 90% pure. Isopropyl doesn't work as well according to reports.
Oh it's SOAP! Now I understand! Hooray for you! Hope it worked.
