Bear with me here, this may be an odd one...
I premix several batches worth of my soapmaking oils in a 10 gallon pail. I am careful to mix the bucket thoroughly before pulling any oil out of it to use. Now that it's getting cooler in my soap kitchen, the bucket of oils is solid. My question is this - assuming the oils start out warm and well mixed when I initially make up my superbatch, will they still be well mixed several days later when cold and I want to make soap? Do the oils with higher melting points settle out? I'm worried that if I just pull the oils off the top of the bucket I might not be getting the right proportions.
