Tiny bumps on cut soap face

[PapsSoaper]

Try cutting early and it might lessen the bumps. Only problem then is you might get ash but this can be prevented by putting the freshly cut soap into a plastic box with a lid. This prevents the air getting to the soap for a few days and stops ash. Or put the soap on a tray and wrap in plastic wrap for a few days.

Hi Penelope,
Thank you... I have cut the soap after 24 hours... It went thru gel phase ... Did not do cpop but wrapped it in a blanket... forgot to add sodium lactate to this batch.. just thinking is that why the bumps then?

I wouldn't think that leaving out SL would cause the soap to have bumps. Whatever the cause, you can use a pastry knife, aka bench scaper, or a putty knife, to smooth out the soap face right after cutting.
