OutlandishLady Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 OK, I unmolded my oh-so pretty Solas swap soap this AM, and noticed that two or three bars had what looked like a thin liquid pocket on the back. Took a knife & poked it, what looks like lye water or oil came out. Did the zap test - some zap but not tongue numbing, ya know? I just soaped this less than 24 hours ago. I rubbed a teeny tiny bit of the liquid between my fingers & it feels more like oil though. I can't imagine it would be lye heavy as I weigh my lye twice and I superfatted @ 6%. Great soaping gurus - what am I to do? Are my beautimous colors headed for the crockpot and the cruel, cruel rebatching?Pardon the crappy quality on the pic:[ATTACH]9999[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 No guru, but possibly. The Drakkar behaved just like that for me. I poked all the little pockets and after a week or so, the zap was gone, but I wasn't trusting anything in the soaps so I ditched everything. I think in talkign with a few others just came to the conclusion that the Drakkar either forced a false trace or wasn't soapable despite it saying it was. I'm curious what causes all this too.

mountainmadness Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 It sounds like it was your FO. What temp did you soap at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Lye water was room temp, oils were around 90. I'm going to let it sit I think for a few days & see what it looks like & if I still get zapped. I used a tiny sliver & it didn't eat my hands off & bubbled nicely so ... who knows?

heirloomoriginals Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I had that with some this fall and I ended up throwing it out, not wanting to chance it!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 If I'm not happy it will be a definite rebatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
