Greasy aerated CPOP

[KiwiMoose]

I've only been CPOPping in the past two months because it's winter here. But what I have noticed (particularly with cavity moulds) is that the soap tops and mold surrounds tend to get very greasy. It does reabsorb after unmolding and sitting for a day, but it also seems to change the consistency of the soap - still hard in the mold, but more 'aerated'? Not a nice slick finish on turning out of the mold. I almost wonder if I let them get to hot and they were starting to boil??
I've attached pics of two different batches to better describe what I mean. The first two pics are my recent batch which i'm just unmolding now, and the last two pics are of a batch that is now a couple weeks into cure (but they were slick and greasy after CPOP too):

I can’t really see much on my phone in the car except the color. Someone is probably going to ask for details of how you’re doing the OP part

I would say its getting too hot, not boiling but hot enough to.come close to separating.

Next time, try to lower the temps some. You can also open the oven and cool the soap quickly once you've seen that they are in full gel.

When you use the molds for regular CP (not for CPOP) are the bars okay? I wonder if the silicone is one that causes problems when it gets too hot. I had a similar issue a few years ago and learned I couldn't use particular molds for CPOP.
