Thank you obsidian!!! Your suggestion worked :) I'm so relieved!!! any idea what caused it?

I am right now making a batch of hot process! I used my old tried and true recipe and measured carefully. The only thing I did is add ground oat meal to some of my liquid oil and add at trace... It looked fine a few minutes ago and was just beginning to look Vaseline like. Now its all Shiny but...
