Thank you! This was my first time to stop gel process. I am still not sure wich one I like more. Gelled or not gelled soap. I guess I will need few more soaps under my belt to have opinion about it. And knowledge :twisted: Thank you all once again!

Dear all :) Yes it was really too early to cut my soap. Now I know that. As advised I put it in oven and after 30 min was better but still not completely. I left it for 6 hours or more there and then tried to cut it. It was perfect. Not even one crumb! I am so happy that it turned ok! Guys...

Water : Lye Ratio 2.9488:1 I will attach full recipe. I used it before and always was ok and successful! Every batch was successful until I started to use colors :( No fragrance at all. I need to say that I put quite TD :/ It seemed never to be enough to color white.

Yesterday I wanted to check once again how it will go. I used same recipe, different colors, just this time I wanted to avoid gel or that partial gel and after pouring into the mold I put it in the fridge. Well today, after 24 hours I put it out of the fridge and my soap is crumbly, and I am...

This is really good catch! I was so focused on separated layer that I didn't noticed that it did sink in the middle!!!!! Anyway there was no fragrances at all because i was just testing using colors first time. I didn't want to use my expensive essential oils. Here in Europe is really...

I am also sure it is not partial gel cos I have been reading all morning about it on the net and partial gel is always in the middle where temp is the highest.

No, it is stainless steel. I check before using it. And the lid was open all the time. never had contact with the soap. So now I am not sure which part is gelled? Upper? How I can stop that part from gelling? So I will get colors and soap like bottom part. Put it in the fridge immediately...

I would say that down part will gel cos it is "insulated" by the upper soap and temperature is higher down. But now I am not sure. My soap mold is on it's way from China so I used SS candy box :/

I didn't use any color for white part. It is natural soap color. And I mixed only once. On thin trace I separated only little for colors and remain batter was natural. Pour it same time. I really don't understand :(

Hi dear people! I am new to this soap making thing and I would be so grateful for little help. This is my first colored soap in CP. And I dont know what happened ????? You can see two different colors of white. That batter wasn't colored at all. Upper part looks like it is gelled and down is...
