Madd Mikey Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I tried a new recipe and it ashed all over the top. What is the best thing to do? Cut it off? Can I rebatch what I cut off?mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teercreations Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 some people cut it off the bars, some wash it off and some leave it on for the appearance of a rustic soap. Did you cover the soap while it was gelling and doing its thing? Or was this after you removed all the coverlings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sad72 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I've read that some spritz with alcohol and then buff off with a soft cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madd Mikey Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 I just took the cover off the mold and it was ashed all over the top.I will try the alcohol and see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labgal Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I tried trimming it off with a vegetable peeler, but I lost a lot of the soap trying!!! I am beginning to like the look of the ash on them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainmadness Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I leave the soap ash. I have discovered that some FO or EO cause it. It does not deter my customers at all...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 i am w/the others, i tend to leave the ash depending on my intended look for that soap or peel it off w/ a cheese slicer or veggie peeler. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Black Sheep Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 All depends upon my mood. <G> Sometimes I buff it off with alcohol and others I leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 As the others said I leave it alone. It is kind of like the frosting of soy wax. It doesn't hurt the soap in anyway it just gives it a different appearince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
