I usually follow specific recipes, but want to make my own. I started with this:
from BB lye calculator
Last photo. This is how it looked after 40 hours. very oily and soft.
I put mold on heater for 20 min. then covered. I couldn't unmold for 40 hours.
Help, any ideas?

With 70% liquid oils, it is probably going to need quite a bit of time to unmold.

Did you get the soap to trace before pouring or just emulsion? How did you add your colorants (were they premixed in water, oil, or straight mica added to soap batter)? Did you add a fragrance oil? If so, when did you add it and did it do anything unusual, such as slow down trace or ricing?
 
I agree, with that percentage of liquid oils, it may be several days before the soap is hard enough to take out of the mold. If there are beads of oil setting on top of the soap, it may be the FO you used. If that is the case, the soap should reabsorb the oil in a few days.
