Curing In a Toaster!

[carrie71]

Greetings fellow soap makers! It’s a beautiful morning here in the west Texas countryside.
I was up early pondering some soap making strategy for my newfound hobby.
As of late, I’ve been curing my soap in my garage, which has not been an issue with our mild winters here. However, spring and summer approaches and West Texas has a season in the summer we call the “Dog Days” where temperatures elevate to over 100 degrees everyday for weeks. This means my garage will be hotter than hell. What does the future hold for my current soap curing environment?

It means you need to find a cooler area to cure. Extreme heat like that can cause DOS.

Do you have a empty shelf in a spare room closet? Or maybe a place you can set up shelving unit?

I will be thinking hard about new places to cure. By the way, what’s DOS?

DOS is dreaded orange spots or rancidity.
