Wasted my oils but even worse wasted one of my few BB fragrances all the way from the USA.
looked a lot like mashed potatoes as if I’d hot processed it. I used saved Moet champagne as the liquid. Guess I won’t do that again!
Ah, the joys! Soap on a stick anyone?

Oh, so sorry! Did you boil off the alcohol first? That will make your soap seize. You could throw it in a crockpot and hot process it so at least you have usable soap.
The other thing you can do when that happens is put a lid or cover tightly with saran on your soaping container and walk away. When the soap starts to gel it give it a quick stir and pour quickly. It will resemble a rustic hp soap but it will pour into your mold. You just cannot play around because it will cool fast and harden up.
I didn’t even think of that. I’d had it in the freezer for a couple of years (out of sight and all that), discovered it the other day and thought ‘soap’.
Thank you - next time
