Post you ugly soap pics here - Troubleshooting thread

[hlee]

This was so not the soap I had in my head. It's prettier in the pic than in rl.

I get that, but this is so not an ugly soap.

ok here is my ugly soap

Amber romance soap with callendula leaves...they turned green.

My first batch of soap for the Liquid Sub Swap. Naughty FO caused it to seize and it never fully smoothed back out

 

[jules92207]

Looks like brownies with walnuts!

I actually like the second one.

A badly behaved fragrance oil caused separation and a scarily lye heavy soap (picture 1). So i rebatched it and now it looks like minced beef! (picture 2). Despite looking horrible it smells quite nice so may still get use out of it.

Made my third batch tonight and split it. The first half I used FO and mica for a strawberry champagne.
Took the other half and added leathe FO and mica and got this beautiful hot mess. The bottom layer gelled and I had to scoop it in. The top layer well you see it. Lol

Bringing this thread out in the sunlight again. I had a beautiful pumpkin soap that broke at the pencil line so I hot processed most of it, and was able to salvage some of the original pieces that didn't separate, so I shoved those down into the hot process. Kinda looks like some kind of weird toast popping out of something.

Lol - it does look a little like toast. Still looks pretty.

Thanks! I haven't even attempted to use it. I don't know why really, it smells delish! I'm putting some in my shower right now for tomorrow morning. Who knows, maybe it'll be the next best seller!

Severe partial gel, this was stopped just before it overheated badly.

yes this soap is truly ugly...the daffodil scent morphed on me & smells like a cow patty...yes I used heavy cream (I have in all my soaps) I also used brambleberry's vanilla color stabilizer, which I also used on my first batch & it morphed to smell like nair, then went back to the scent it was supposed to be. This still smells like poop. Oh and I did not let this soap gel, I kept a fan on it so it wouldn't overheat.

It reminds me of the french toast cereal that used to be available. Now I want some and I can't have any. Thank you! [emoji20] lol

Obsidian, I think your soap actually looks really cool. I'd buy it as a customer and think that was intentional! Its round and perfectly centered.

Skay, I think your soap looks pretty! Its a shame it smells like a cow patty. That certainly can't be helped... [emoji17]

I'd give it some more cure time. I don't like to use vanilla stabilizer, but have noticed a horrific smell that fades away after a week or so. Maybe it will sort itself out.

those glycerin rivers.....rebatch, at least its smell delicious!!!

 

[Obsidian]

I actually like the rebatch better then the original, looks all stormy.

I hope it sorts itself out! I loved the smell in the beginning!
