*#$!ing Partial Gel

[foresthome]

I made this pumpkin soap for a fall festival. I used real pumpkin and should have kept it in the oven to acheive full gel, but not thinking I tried to stop it from gelling. So now I am stuck with 18 bars of pumpkin pie scented partial gel soap.. UGHHHHHH


Note to self, any soap with milk or vegetable in it has natural sugar and will want to gel.

I hate partial gels too. If it is really ugly I will felt it. you could do some really cool halloween soaps with the felts!

Actually, it's the ™ that's really my trademark... The rest is just descriptive. :twisted:

And the title was a birthday gift.

Sell it as a special, limited edition.

I think it looks fine. If anyone asks, say it was intentional. :wink:

I had a partial gelled soap that looks like a weird type of decoration because it's a gelled circle in the middle of each bar

I decided to call it Pumpkin Somethin (my husbands idea) and go ahead and box it up for the festival. It is Hamilton, Montana's MacIntosh Apple Day. Here is a better picture of the soap and 2 others I made for this fair.

The pumpkin link didn't work, but your two other soaps are beautiful! Your swirling technique is amazing. I am highly jealous!

 

[Dragonkaz]

Love your soaps! Your swirls are fantastic!

 

[Soaplady22]

Are those swirls from in-the-pot or in-the-mold swirling?? Did you use a whisk?? (my best guess) I love them!!

 

[BakingNana]

I don't think I'd have even known it was partial gel because the swirls are great. Looks like a success to me! Nice soaps.

These are in IPS, I just pour them into 4 spots and swirl once with a spatula, and pour it into the mold. Thanks for the compliments. You should smell the MacIntosh Apple, it smell like a fresh picked apple.
I used Crafter's Choice Fresh Picked Apple, 3 oz per 60 oz. of oils.
