Is it possible to do a wall pour in a silicone mold?

Yup. Everything was going great right up until I added the F/O. Once I added the F/O it started speeding up and I was lucky to get it into the mold. Will do the zap test in a couple of days to see if it's viable as I just made it this morning. :)

I made a batch of CP today. The F/O accelerated everything almost to the point of seizing. I did manage to get it into the mold before it seized though. My question is: Is it going to be safe to use or do I need to chuck the batch and start over?

The only thing you *may* have issues with in MP is swirls, which have to be done at low temp, with reheating. Watch the flashpoints if you are using fragrance or essential oils for scent.

Yay! Thank you! Though I love the Eucalyptus and mint fragrance oil I didn't want the smell transferring over to the next batch.

New to the forum and CP soaping, though I have done M/P for a while now. I bought a silicone mold for M/P soap. I've washed it twice now, and it still smells like the last m/p loaf I made. 2 questions: Will the fragrance transfer to the next loaf (regardless of which type of soap I make)...
