goats milk in log mold

[jackie]

I did goat's milk soap in a silicone log mold and it went great, had plenty of time to play with it . Put it in the freezer overnight and it still gelled. I didn't want the gel because it darkened my colors. So next time should I leave it in the freezer longer or go from freezer to fridge. I came back later in the day after I took it out of the freezer to thaw and it did feel pretty warm so I stuck it in the fridge for an hour.

You could try to freeze the mold before pouring and then pop it back in as soon as it is poured.

It depends on the FO used too and any other additional ingredients.

I freeze mine and then move it to the fridge. I agree, it could all depend on the fo used.

Sometimes it gels or partially gels no matter what you try..frustrating for sure.

I used peak's green clover and aloe f/o at .70 oz ppo. Only other additives are a little silk and sodium lactate. I made one (diff f/o though) in slab mold and had no problems at all but I understand the log will hold in more heat.

I'm thinking now it was the f/o. I saw on scent review board that a person said it gets very hot in the mold. Nice fragrance though. If I use it again in milk soap though, I'll try a slab mold.
