So I’ve been lucky and had many successful batches, well my beginners luck has finally ran out. I made 2 batches last night, one I tried the heat transfer, that did NOT work, the batch seized up before the lard melted, and that batch is still mushy right now, the second batch I made same recipe I been using, only difference is I used bottled water instead of out well water from the sink, and I hand stirred it instead of stick blend. The oil was a nice emulsion and poured great! But it’s still not hard! When I pull the side of the mold away it separates the soap itself! It’s always been hard by the next day. Was it because I didn’t use the blender? Maybe it didn’t blend right? I did use the soap calc and all the measurements were right. Unless my cheap Amazon brand scale is off??
