Zappy liquid leaking from mold, what gives?

[ocean_soul]

Last week I decided to make a batch of soap using my Vertical Wood mold from Brambleberry. After three days I started dismantling my mold, thinking I could try unmolding my soap soon but then I noticed that my soap liners had a very thin coating of liquid on them, some if it even dripped out the bottom of the mold. I checked it for zap and zinged me pretty good. Eeks! :crazy:

So then I waited a couple of days, fearing all the while that my soap had separated and determining that my husband should never be allowed in the kitchen when I'm making soap (he *had* to be in the kitchen right when I was about to combine my lye water and oils, ugh). Finally I unmolded my soap and it seems okay. It was a bit softer than I was expecting but not butter soft so that's good. So now I'm just wondering how this will affect my soap, maybe giving it a slightly higher SF%? Also puzzled as to why this happened. I guess my soap only separated a little bit? Any other suggestions please?

Have you tested the finished product yet? I would think it still has quite a bit of zap to it.

That's the weird thing, there's no zap at all. I tested bars all though out the batch, all zap free.

If your soap doesn't zap then it should be OK to use.

You may have added too much water. Let it cure until it turns hard.

Yes, no zap, you're good.

Yeah, I figured that since it doesn't zap it's safe so I'll just have to see how it is after it cures.

Thanks for the input.
