Hello all,
I made some soap the other night which I have just cut, only to discover what I think are glycerine rivers (pic below). I know this can happen if too much water is added to the soap, but I used the normal amount I do for all my soaps and I've never had this problem before, so I was wondering what else might have affected it?
Could this be down to the fragrance oil? The heat? Usually I would make soap at around 22-24 degrees, but the other day it was probably about 30 - could that be the culprit? It's a shame because other than the ugly rivers, the soap looks pretty good IMHO! :/
Any advice is welcome.
Cheers,
Andy
