Air holes

[soapmaker]

Since the holes are all on the outside, could you take your leftover end or one bar of soap and patch it up?

I suppose I could, but really not worth it. Some of the holes are the size of dimes.
It would be faster to just cut off the outer parts and I may just do that.

I should also note that the ones with the bigger holes is the 2nd 1/2 of the batch and was worse of a glop.
I could also rebatch it... hmmmm will have to think about that

ok, I think you may have been talking with the OP about the holes.

But, I have a wave cutter and did some shaving

Just so you don't feel bad. I made CP soap yesterday and it accelerated so fast on me that I had to Blob it in the tube. Only was able to bang it once it was full (tube) so I didn't get all the air out or get to bang it after each short pour.

It is still a testing recipe/ FO and to see how well they heat up in the PVC tubing.

COLOR came from infusing Annatto seeds in the OO (at 20% ) for 2 days, heating it in the Microwave twice.
edit to say that the front cuts were on the 2nd pour and it was like oatmeal porridge !

This what it looked like right after I added the Coconut milk and it was a tiny amount too !

split the batch and quickly stirred in the FO and WHAM it got to thick Cake batter !


So there you have it, Wholey Soap... maybe I will just make a line of "Swiss Cheese" soap

Love the color!

I just did a post on a Fluid method which I'm going to try this evening.
Try pouring as soon as you see the gel stage. You might still need to bang it but it will be thinner.

Is this typical when using coconut milk in soap? I’d like to try that.

My batch never got to reaction temperature so it was a HP fail. The report is here...
