Hi all,
I have been a casual soaper for a while now. I have never been able to figure out how to layer mp soap. I have read that the temp should be about 120 so that the top layer of soap does not melt into the bottom layer. But when my soap gets to 120 degrees, it is not really fluid anymore. It has chunks of soap and gel traces in it. It looks like chunky pudding. This is so basic but I really can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have a digital thermometer so I know when I get to 120-130. Any ideas? TIA!
