lbtddr Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 i made 4 batches of soap yesterday two of them was one i have made before with to problem.for what ever reason it came to trace fast i had to cram it int he mold has air pockets in it.same kind next batch it did not trace any faster that it always.i poured at a thiner trace has still had a few air bubbles but will be OK.3ed batch stinks offal it was a new recipe i will never use unrefined Shea with unrefined hemp seed oil again but still the texture is sticky and a few air holes.4th one looks OK made later last night.it was like 96 hear but i have air.will the heat make a difference how the soap turns out i have never had such a bad soaping day.even tho i had the air on. i have only had one other batch ever have air bubbles before yesterday.

thecandlespastore Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 The heat outside should not make a difference especially if your air is on, although with that kind of heat you could put your soap outside and get a good gel:smiley2: I think heat outside only affects bath bomb making.....I could be wrong though.

eugenia Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Humidity will affect your curing; it will take longer when it's more humid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapevinesoaper Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Wish I could blame my similar problem on the heat--It's been over 100 for a week or so.However, I think I know what I did to cause zero to vaseline acceleration.....I accidentally put my oxide-in-glycerin colorant into the oils instead of into the lye water like I usually do. Don't really understand why this would make it happen, but it's the only thing I did different. Once again wishing I'd paid better attention in Chemistry! Then I think I blended too long to try to make sure it dispersed evenly and next thing I knew...vaseline consistency. :embarasse @##@!?!?Haven't cut it yet, but afraid I'm gonna have bubbles too.
