Hey there - both. One batch I tested, I used tea tree EO. The other batch was simply a FO. I just don't get it...if it passes the zap test and the PH strips shows that it isn't too lye heavy; I wonder where that reaction is coming from.

That looks beautiful!

Thank you! I'm so happy to be here! It's funny too; because I can't wait until next weekend to start soaping again! Some of it has absorbed, but there are still a couple of droplets. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

This is good to know; thanks!

Thank you for the encouragement! I wrapped it in Saran Wrap and placed it in front of the fan to prevent cracks; but then ended up with this issue instead. I did cut the soda ash parts off and was encouraged when I saw this: They are pretty! I will just let them cure and them see. Sent...
