I make the same 12 lb batch just about every day. Last month, I must have doubled up an oil, because I had about 1 pound of extra soap batter!! So now the batch should be fully cured, but is still slightly soft and oily. I have never rebatched before, but think it might be worth a try. Couple questions:
* I'll grate each bar and put it into the crock pot. Add FO and water as needed and melt thoroughly. Do I need to do anything to remove the oiliness? How does rebatching fix the oil problem?
* Since the lye is technically gone, can I use my household crock pot? I have a giant one that would be perfect for the large batch.
Thanks! I truly hope I can salvage this batch. -appreciate all your suggestions.
