Well, I just tried my first batch of cp liquid soap, so I have no idea if it was successful or not. I didn't realize it took so long to trace....ugh! Anyway, after it traced, I poured it into a container and sat it into my oven which was only very slightly warm (used earlier, but not on). I was told it was best to place the container in a warm area or on a heating pad especially if the weather is cold. It is cold here now, so I placed it into the oven which I thought would help. Anyway, I just looked at it and the mixture is fairly translucent with a yellowish color, but there is a small layer of liquid on top and the layer below is a very firm gel consistency. Hard to stir but doable with a spatula. It resembles jello that is somewhat rubbery. Is this normal? If not, can it be saved?
