Hello Soapers,
Just some pix I want to share of what I did with my second batch. I just took 2 sliced bars and grated it. Mixed it into a white base at medium trace this time. Here's the link to what it looks like previously:

It came out of the same silicon mold better this round. I left it for 2 days before unmolding. Think can stretch to a 3rd day as when I unmold the bottoms are still slightly soft but not sticky. During slicing, the insides are sticky.
I follow some tips here and I soap this at:
CO... 25%
Olive Pomace... 50%
Palm ... 20%
Castor... 5%
Lye Concentration... 30%
I'm wondering if I should increase the lye concentration as this took a bit longer to dry out in the mold or could it be all the liquid fats I'm using.
Comments welcome
