vberkesch Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Every once in a while i get a batch of soap that is soft. I have a batch right now, i am leaving it to cure & hoping it will harden up. I do not gell my soaps, but they all harden up nicely, with the exception of this latest batch. Can't think of anything i have done differently. I used sandlewood FO. Smells great, no lye holes, no seperation. What do you all think? Would love your opinions, thanks, Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Are you sure your liquid and oil amounts were the same? Does this happen when it gets cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vberkesch Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 yep used same oils and liquid amounts. I put this batch in the fridg for longer than some of the others. Hmm....wonder if that has something to do with it? Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Soaps that don't gel can be softer than soaps that gel, but given time, it should harden up if it normally does. It just needs a bit more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I sometimes get an off batch when I am using Palm Oil that hasnt been stired.I didn't think about that but so true. I have also experienced soap that is crumbly if I don't stir my palm - but only when its hot enough outside to melt it. If my palm is not melted from the heat, I don't have that problem.
