powderblueboutique Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) I think I way ovey insulated, which I usually under insulate. Anyway, I used a heating pad and towels over night, and forgot to turn off the heating pad this morning. remembered in the afternoon turned it off, but still left the soap wrapped. 4 hours later checked soap to cut, and it is so soft...but, it didn't crack. Thank goodness!How long should I leave it the freezer to cool it down?Have to go get the kiddos, will be back in a jiffy, so thanks ahead!

Kitn Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It depends on how big a batch of soap it, is. I did a 3lb batch today and it was cooled off in the freezer in 3 hours. If it is a large batch you could leave it overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderblueboutique Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thanks for the reply kitn! It's about a 4 lb batch. I was hasty and took it out a 10 minutes ago. I just coudn't wai,t and wasn't sure how long too. I want to take a picture, but my battery is dead. I should have left it in. It does look pretty cool, just doesn't looked finished, and can't describe. Once I have a battery will post. Thank you so much, you have been so helpfull!

powderblueboutique Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 My flash is horrible, so I hope you can see. The bottom white is supposed to be white all the way up to the swirling(measured and colored all white for that layer) . The middle layer that looks natural soap color is the problem. It is still soft, but not sticky. I don't know if I cooked the bottom of the soap, if just a curing is needed, no problem at all, or unique soap! I still say grrrrh.

ChrisR Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It looks fine, just give it a good cure and it should harden up nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It looks good to me too, just set it out to cure and it will firm up all over.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
