smittenheart Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 strange..I have only prevented gel 3 times and once in those three times I got partial gel..grr!!so today I soaped and put my mold outside..it was about 45 degrees out today.I did this mainly because where I normally put it was right in front of a vent and caused a slight overheating issue-nothing drastic ..so to see what would happen I took my lid off my mold-I have a wooden mold..and with cling wrap on it placed it outside..I did this since I am wanting to work on my textured tops I am seeing if the lid makes a difference or not..I hate to work on my tops and have partial gel..grr!!anywho..my soap was hard and ready to pop out of the mold at about 12 hours..where as my gelled soap usually takes about 24hrs..weird!!

TexasBrat Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The cold will do this I believe. When I recently soaped I took my soap out of my molds in 12 hours too and I had mine setting up up my cold garage. When people are making goats milk soap they place it in the fridge or freezer to prevent it from gelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittenheart Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 makes sense..though the threads that I keep reading say that ungelled soap takes longer to set up..weird!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
