Well, I'm new here and one of the reasons I joined is this.
Guys, I messed up. Like BAD.
I don't know what I did, but I was trying to make homemade melt & pour and it just...never set. It's still watery. The consistency is a dead ringer for pancake syrup.
I'll try to outline what I did, starting with the ingredients list:
Then, I stir in the glycerin and the propylene glycol. I mix it really well, and it's pretty liquidy at that point. And then I stir in the sugar syrup really well.
I dump it in a mold and stick it in the freezer to set. I check on it an hour later and it's still liquid. So I leave it overnight. Still liquid.
What on earth have I done to this poor glycerin!? I even stuck it in a crockpot for a couple hours to evaporate some water from it, in case it was waterlogged, but all that did was give me brown liquid cause the sugars just burned.
Help! Can I save this soap? Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
