Could you have been off on your measurements?

I was thinking a miscalc. also as I've never made a salt bar that wasn't hard as a brick in less than an hour.

that was different! the 1st one leather (75% co 25% soft oils) took 2.5 hrs in oven came out firm but not hard cooled a bit and cut center soft when cut (hard as a rock today) 2nd batch citrus splash hard a rock under 1 hr. (Same recipe) 3rd batch ylang ylang acted same as first all 3 measured out at same time and done at same temps and same batch of lye solution does weather play a factor when soaping? very humid and stormed last night tia jo

Of the 5 batches I've made, 2 were wonky. Same recipe (different FOs), but 1 hardened all unevenly and 1 never hardened. Fortunately 3 came out GREAT!
