Aha! Snot! Ok, I can relate to that . I've never added castor or any other oil to my castilles, but that is where your "slime" is coming from, the castor. I'm not sure if you are getting any from the babassu because I'm not that familiar with it. CP castilles take anywhere from 6 to 12 months to cure, so maybe yours just need more time. In the meantime, if you feel like playing, make up a batch of HP castille then check it at 2 mos, then at 4 mos, etc. I give my bars with castor oil in them an extra month or so drying time than my bars without it.
