    What soapy mistake have you made today?

    ! I made a Lavender mint cpop today and when I took it out of the oven, I noticed a large pool of oil on top! This has never happened to me before so I suspect that I had a false trace or it overheated and separated. I would like to re-batch it but I don't know if I need to wait until it...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I made 3 test batches for this "secret heart swirl" technique that I saw on Pinterest and I couldn't quite get it right. Have any of you attempted it? Were dividers used? Is it a huge drop swirl followed by a hanger? Can you wonderful people offer any input? Thank you!

    Flaky CP soap?

    Will somewhat flaky soap become crumbly when it cures completely? I used palm kernel flakes for the first time (14% of my recipe?) and I did not gel it. I also had major ash. I used canola, palm, castor, coconut oils and 15 the palm kernel flakes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
