Meridith Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Could you have been off on your measurements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolambert Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
