So I made a batch of true castile soap. I know WHY I have my quandry, but not sure where to go from here. I used full water, and I poured it at a bare level of trace (and I mean BARE)... mostly because I'd been working with the batch for several HOURS, it was 10pm, and I had to be done for the night.
What I'm debating with myself about is whether I:
1. Let it continue to sit in the mold since it seems to be progressing in the saponification process, and if so, exactly how long is this likely to take? It's now 24 hours later, and it's gone to medium trace in the mold (yea... I hope!).
2. Do I give it another 24 hours and if it's not close to ready to be unmolded, to I scrape it out of the mold and either HP it, or RTCP it until I get a thicker trace and then try to remold it?
It's sitting on my husband's gaming table, so I'll need to do *something* with it by Friday or he'll be more than slightly annoyed with me.
