This week I was using a soap at my kitchen sink that's been curing at least 8 weeks (40% lard, 22% coconut oil, 15% olive, 10% sunflower, 6% castor & the rest RBO) and it's very soft and mushy after a few uses. I have been troubled by this, but then I read today Newbie saying too much TD will do this.
The TD I used was Oil Soluble from WSP. I have had issues with brittle soap using Water Soluble TD, but didn't really think about OSTD having issues. I may have used too much since this was a very white soap and I know I used a good amount. The most I would have used would have been 2 tsp PPO, but this is not straight, the 2 tsp would have been mixed in OO. It's a mixture of 2 parts TD and 3 Parts OO, so it would be less than 1 tsp PPO. Would this cause the softness/mushiness I'm experiencing? Thanks for your input.
