Bubbles drive me flippin nuts. I hate when i get bubbles in my soaps and really go to great lengths to not get them, but every once in a while there they are. Sometimes I know it happened, sometimes unexplainable.
This has me puzzled. I normally have enough batter left over to fill a few small cavity molds. My loaf mold gels, my cavity molds do not.
loaf molds are more apt to have bubbles, whereas the cavity molds never do.
See picture...does this have to do with gel phase? I cpop 170 degrees, usually turn off the oven a few minutes before i put the loaf in there, then just keep the light on till morning and let it “rest” for the rest of the day/night until i get home from work. This is from the same batch.
i just inspected all of my soaps. Most are ok. Some just have crazy bubbles going on without explanation
Edit: I think i just answered my own question. All of my bubble ladden soaps are single color pours...i probably poured too fast compared to taking my time with a design.
