Bumpy Soap

[Kimberly G Lewis]

Hello,

I made some soap the other day. I cut the soap today and they have tiny bumps on them.... I used a wired cutter and attached is my recipe: has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks in advance for your help.

My guess, and it's just a guess, is that it's beeswax that hardened up early. But I'm sure the more experienced soapers will have an idea. I've never used beeswax in soap, so I'm not sure how it behaves.

Yes it is the wires. It has to do with the hard oils in your recipe but once you plane them the bumps will dissappear.

Also try cutting as soon as your soap has cooled. 12-18 hrs after making for me. The earlier you cut with a wire cutter the less bumps.
