    Dent in soap

    Has anyone experienced this problem? Soap comes out of the mold without the dent and 3 to 5 days later the soap develops this.

    Stained Soap

    It comes out of the mold looking like that. I use a 12 cavity rectangle shape silicone mold. I thought it was ash so I thoroughly cleaned the molds. I concluded it was a transfer from the mold. The problem is I purchased 10 of these molds and the soap comes out like that from all of them.

    The color of the stain is white. The color of the mold is blue. The molds have the patterns. I can see it once I take the soap out of the mold.

    Rancid Smell

    Hi Earlene! I noticed the smell during cooking and after. My oils were fresh. Just purchased them. I am going to try one more time but this time with a smaller amount of oils. I am going to keep an eye on temperatures. That might be the problem. Thanks for your prompt reply!!
