But if your talking about the dreaded orange spots, you can google
"Orange Spots Soap"
and find your answer.....
 
Ok you got me! I meant Dept of State! LOL No I was wondering why everyone dreads the orange spots. So it means the oils have gone rancid then?

They are ugly! :lol:

No, really. Strangely enough, every batch I've made with lard has gotten dos. I'm done with lard!
 
I've never had a problem with Lard. What oils are you using with it? Lard has a pretty long shelf life. I would suspect another oil first. Canola, Sunflower, safflower are all rumored to be high DOS factors.

People have different results in different parts of the country though...climate may be a factor.
