This big batch crumbled when I cut it after two days. I need to reuse. The zap seems OK. I may have been light on the oils but the main thing I did different is probably a no-no. I like the room temperature method but beeswax is hard to melt that way. So I kept the lye-oil mixture over a very low flame until the beeswax did melt. The soap developed an whitish ash look within a couple of hours after pouring in the mold. First time my soap ever failed. Does anyone have suggestions on rebatching ?
