Hi everyone, I've recently bumped my coconut oil in my recipe, and added some avocado oil. The changes aren't huge, but I have been having overheating issues with almost every single batch. No volcano, but cracks, sometimes bigger and sometimes smaller. I quit insulating and still the problem is happening. I'm using wood molds with Brambleberry liners and my mold have lids. I know silicone doesn't breathe, so maybe that's an issue too. I've let them sit without the lids in a cool room and they don't gel. But still cracks. It's like it overheats for 5 seconds, and them cools down and doesn't gel. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? I wonder if the bumped up coconut oil makes it hotter? Thanks
