The other day I did the Clyde Slide pour for this month's challenge, cut it 12 hours later. All the bars looked the same. This morning I went into the basement to look at them, and to my surprise there was a tiny circle of partial gel in two of the inside bars (only 4 bars total from 1-lb mold) The gelled parts were so much brighter that I wanted to force-gel the whole thing. I saw someone (DeeAnna?) had said you can OP your soap after the fact by simply putting the cut bars back into the mold and putting them in a warm oven like normal. Well, I did that but I turned the oven on to 'warm' and went outside to hang laundry, promptly forgetting ALLLLL about my soap. I just now remembered, and it has been in the turned-on oven for hours! So here's my question: should I leave it to cool in the oven like usual, or take it out? I'm sure it's well and truly warmed through by now!
