Hi Everyone, Im still having a problem with my soap batch getting very hard and crumbly on the bottom and ends (5LB rectangular mold with wood frame). I thought the problem may be it wasnt getting warm enough since I could tell it wasnt gelling completely but bought a heating pad, which I put underneath frame, and it still got hard and crumbly- I turned heat off after about an hour. I just cant figure out what is wrong and Im loosing tons of $ by trimming so much. I thought maybe I was leaving it wrapped too long (almost 24 hrs) so I unwrapped after about 7 hours and it was already hard. Could it be my recipe? I dont use palm. Although I have had success in the past.
And I use 40% lye concentration.
Im at a loss...
Thanks for any insight.
