Hello all,
I am a new member, and I would like to say hi to all. Recently, I have had a problem with a new recipe. It turned to be so sticky, and even after 3 days it was still sticky, so I couldn't umold it. Eventhough, I used shea butter and beef lard total of 40%, water 38%, water:lye (2.5:1). Does anyone have any idea if I can improve it? Should I use more butter, castor oil, or palm oil? And if so, what the total of hard oils should I use? Or should I reduce the water percentage? As a side note, my SF is 5%. Thanks all.
