I have just re formulated my recipe to allow time to work the soap. Last night I made my first batch of it, and the good news was it soaped beautifully. It's not quite 24 hours, and I'm going to wait and check again in the morning, as it feels a bit soft yet. I made another batch today, and also soaped beautifully. My question, is in my previous soaps ( all 5 of them ) have heated during first several hours. These last two, while really workable haven't really heated as my previous soaps did. Is something wrong? Should I place a heating pad on low on the one I just made? I want it to gel. So. Did I do something wrong? I'm assuming it's normal to need more than 24 hours before unmolding since my OO is at 40% then again...I could definately be wrong. Advice? Wisdom?
