    Soap storage

    Hi, bringing them inside. To a more stable environment. Would help considerably. Oil should absorb, mostly. You may loose a smidge to evaporation. Hot then cold, with high humidity. Will make anything sweat.

    Blue mica keeps turning green! Ugh.

    Have you tried adding colorant. After saponification? Using a fragrance? That can cause colors to change also.

    Did I do something wrong?

    Hi, soda ash is your white chalky substance. And fresh cut soap. Will be a bit tacky at first. Spritz with rubbing alcohol and cover. When first poured. Helps with soda ash.

    Soft Soap

    Hi, high OO soaps takes longer to cure. as @Ekuzo, mentioned you might cut down on your water. Do you use sodium lactate or salt? Helps with unmolding/hardness. Good luck.

    Why are my silicone molds warping?

    Hi, put a flat board inside the mold. Then put weight on top of the board. On a flat surface. See if that doesn't flatten them out. Do they leave dimples in the soap. As they are now?

    What kind of seal to use on these?

    Hi, maybe the round dots. Used to write prices on? Get them at staples, avery brand. Personally I would just go. With a small piece of tape. You mentioned more embellishments. Should be enough to distract the eye.
