    How do I get my soap to harden in the mold

    You guys are geniuses! I changed the lye to 32% and the loaf I made yesterday morning was ready to be cut by midnight last night. Popped right out of the mold. Thank you all so much!

    How do I get my soap to harden in the mold

    I've tried several recipes, and it seems to take my soaps forever to get hard enough to unmold. We have our air conditioning on which should remove excess humidity.
