I posted in regards to this dismal failure a couple of weeks back. Well, to update you, I rebatched the soap. I think I went beyond the norm and rebatched it 2, possibly 3 times. Yeah, I know, should have tossed it weeks ago but I hated the waste, and did I mention stubborn?? Anyway, the last time I rebatched it (yesterday) I added a little mango and coconut oils, hoping it would perpetuate hardening of the bar. Looks to be to no avail - the end result is always a thick, leathery layer on top of the bar but gelatinous below, on the sides, ends, etc. I use wooden molds and don't dare try to remove unless I want oozing goo everywhere.
Question: Is there any future for this mess - besides the trash? I wondered, since it wants to be runny, can it be repurposed into liquid handsoap or am I facing bacterial growth issues?? I am not a seller and I would probably end up with gallons of liquid since my mold is 5 to 6 pound size. Go ahead, tell me to toss it if that is the best result. PS - Don't yell at me, I am SO new to this wonderful soap-making addiction (obviously). I sure appreciate any information anyone can send my way...yikes!
