Looks better already Looks better since I cut it this morning. Guess it needs some drying time. It leaked a bit but it does seem to be drying out. I just is UGLY. Looks like something from the deli counter! Thank you for all the words of wisdom.

Re: Now the big question Thanks IrishLass. For now I just have a Sweet smelling mass.

Now the big question Is it just ugly or is it ruined? For all my reading I have never read anywhere about finicky oil temp for certain oils. Thanks for all the help.

Shea is hard? I am thinking that maybe temps were too different as Daniel suggested. If the Lye/water was much cooler and it hit the shea maybe the shea started to harden real quick and that is why it looked grainy.

FO I used Rose Geranium but the problem did seem to start before I put in the FO. My intention was to put the FO in at light trace. There wasn't a light trace. BAM! Thick as mud pie from the moment I put the stick blender in.

Ugh. Pictures. Not sure how to add pics. I am going to embarrass myself. They aren't very pretty. I had to mash them into the molds. The little flecks are paprika. http://yfrog.com/4110050071j http://yfrog.com/6210050051j

I messed this one up and not sure how. It started to trace way to quick before the FO. Then when I put in the FO YIKES. Seize and looked like cream of wheat. The Lye temp was just under 110. I didn't look at the oil temp (mistake) I just did them to all melted. As soon as I added lye and oils...

Thanks Mike I was going to keep it under 20%. I was getting nervous because I couldn't find any place other than the soap cal that has Frac. Coconut oil in CP. I don't know if anyone has tried it and I didn't want to ruin oils. Thanks!

I ordered wrong. It is Friday and I planned to make soap all day Saturday. I am up a creek. Can I use the liquid CO to make CP soap? Thank you!
