Ok the soap after cooking..
Has blisters everywhere and usually a wicked heat vent occurs.
The only way I was able to break this crap.
To actually fix it.
I had to bring this UpTo 175F to get it pourable and to be able to use 1)2 before and half mix after.
Meaning...
At first slam the oil and lye/water mix at 1/2
Then once done near that 175F
Hit it with the other 1/2 if the lye water mix.
Then stir that together and or blend fast
Then add scent.
But unusual things happen.
Maybe still a water issue dunno?
But I was able to only pull off a smooth pull.
From the pipe.
And
Here is what I did.
I started at the stuff cookin.
Right when ..right after the mashpotato
I saw it trying to separate into oil
I slammed it with the other 1/2...
Mixed real fast as the temp was dropping
That came out smoooooth but took time
To unmold and setup almost like cold process.
I know there's gotta be another way

I have to admit something about myself.
I have recently realized something.
I speak like I'm on drugs.. because the things I do
Are out of this world litterly.
I understand completely how it may seem to you.
But honestly I'm straight minded.
I'm not smoking stuff and cookiN.
"Stop SniFFiN ma SoAP"
There is no end cap..
I'm literally taking plastic and packing tape.
A little cardboard circle.
Ok look you take the pipe..
You draw circle on the cardboard and cut it out.
You trace that pipe. Cut it a little smaller by rechecking it.
Place the little cardboard circle on the end..
To make sure you have a good fit.
Now juice up the pipe with some baby oil..
Place the cardboard circle at the end and 2 pieces of tape
Then grab a cheap piece of plastic bag...
Fold it a few times and tape it up ,then strongly tape it.
That is how I deal the end.
I could make a silicone insert as soon as I fix this ignorant problem.
The soap is not coming out smooth...
Pocks and blisters all over the place and usually I come back and see strange heat vent action.
Very strange. Water discount has helped Allot.
I have to preheat this coconut Because the stuff in the store
Is screwed up and has trace water inside it.
I can make the oil myself or Virgin Coconut Oil.
But it's easy to just buy it and preheat the water out.
That way the calculation works out.
Ok regarding this info..
When a few folks in this thread recommended that you try making CP using a '33% lye concentration', or a 'higher lye concentration', all they meant was that you should make a CP batch using a water discount or less water in your formula. The lye amount remains the same, only the water amount changes.
Using less water (i.e. a higher/stronger lye concentration) in CP will help reduce overheating and can even prevent gel depending on how high of a concentration/less water you use.
Here is what happens...
If I drop the water level more ,it takes me to higher levels at the stove..
Like 175+ UpTo like 215 F
If I bring that water level up I run the risk of ��
I'm sure this has something to do with it.
Maybe dropping the water and maintaining heat might help.
Will try it. It's worked good doing that so far.
But to hit that gell level is kinda tuff.
Will try it and let ya know.
Going to the store now and pick up some more oil.

I really think it's a water issue.
But what I want is a smooth pour at gell.
During hot processes.
I think that would solve many things.

I found an issue. Regarding the manufacturing.
The Manufacturing of the oil has no regulation.
They extract the oil ,and then do a Xylene strip extraction.
This causes more oil ,but with serious health implications.
Because there is 1/2 being oil and the other 1/2 being bad oil and steric acid at wicked levels.
So this is a money issue. Regarding people and oil.
They add water to the oil. They take the rotten copra form the coconut.
And extraction is a wicked combo result.
I found this evidence in the soaps , but I also found someone was adding palm oil to the coconut oil.
This was discovered as I removed the water from the oil ,it did a separation right in the glass container during hot fine filtering.
This has led to full cooking anywhere to 10 minutes up to 38 minutes at the exact same heat levels and everything being the same. 11 times in a row.
So the resolution will be.
Don't drink water when your belly is upset!
This will be cured by hot processes water removal.
Then let everything cool down before cooking.
Then right before the pour after gel...
Mix in other 1/2 to loosen it...
Then add some powdered milk and salt...
Alkaline the acid and calm it down with powdered milk.
This is a Quality issue.
High acid values with the Xylene manufacture.
Xylene oil stripping. 1/2 normal extraction...
other 1/2 profit...
" Super high Steric Acid " at various levels.
---: The Steric Acid are the Gremlin's
I guess since there is no regulation on this
, Because as long as it's oil they sell it and
People buy it.
Various good and rooten sections mixed together.
Warping and separations and inside vents with insane blistering.
So will try and cure the upset belly of the beast.
Maybe use Tums?
Dunno ,but will try
Your going to have it all killed by the lye anyway right?
Yes but your unseen quality if screwed up will give you an unseen and misbehaving quality along the way. Especially at the drying and Curring stages even more.
Cracking and wierd spots ,all sorts of wacky things you just can't attribute to one single thing? Start looking at your materials and the quality of the oils bieng used and the water.
