I wanted to try a first at swirling, so I cut my HP time some. Instead of about 40 minutes or so, I pulled it out at 30 minutes, split the batch in two (added about 1 oz of aloe vera juice with Rooibot tea coloring in it, and started adding to mold. After I got everything in the mold, a layer of oil has surfaced! I've dumped everything back into the crock pot and I'm going to let it cook for a while. Is this the right thing to do???
