Angel91805 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I've searched, but I haven't been able to pull up a thread with this issue....On Wednesday I soaped Peak's Ocean, with all the warnings in mind about how fast it moves. It went well, looked great. I had a feeling it might heat up and I didn't want a gel, so I popped it into the fridge. I used FULL WATER with my usual recipe. Nothing new to compete with this FO. Thursday I cut it. Looked fine. Was a titch cool still from the fridge. Last night, however, my soap bars were crying. Like crystal clear tear drops on the soap. Stupid me, touch one w/ my finger and burned the #^#%&@* out of my tongue! They were all weeping. I pitched them in my soaping crockpot, just to get them off the curing rack and away from my family that likes to walk by, pick one up and sniff. So....can I chunk them up and HP it??Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDGM Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Oh girl that stinks! The pictures of the soap are GORGEOUS! I hope its salvagable (sp?)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi hope it is too! I'm gonna chunk it up and toss it in the crock here in a little bit. Worse thing that can happen is it gets tossed in the trash. I'm gonna try to get a pic of the tears first though.Hugs,Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapmaker Man Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Sounds like leaking glycerin to me.Paul.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Would leaking glycerin zap the crap out of the tongue? I've never heard of leakign glycerin. Of course, I've never heard of a bar of soap crying lye either! I just finished scooping the mess out of the crock pot and slamming it in the mold. I tested for lye zap and got none, so we'll see how it goes when I unmold it. One good thing...the light tourquise color turned into a nice deep aqua. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow!Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Nice save... I've had that happen to me a few times and slammed it into the crock pot with a tsp or so extra oil and it came out just fine. Damn fairies can't leave well enough alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Angel, I would PM Cindy M on this board and ask her what is the best way to handle this fragrance. I think she soaps it super cool and doesn't use the SB. Just handstirring until it is completely emusified. I know this is one of her biggest sellers in wholesale and she has been soaping for years.
