I saw the spongy top with the green mold but never with my woods...hmmmm? Could have something to do with it- I'm thinking.
judymoody said:I have now gotten these to work for me. I warm the mold in the oven on the lowest setting. I turn the oven off. Then I insulate the mold and put it back in the oven or if it's got heating ingredients, I wrap it in towels and set it on the counter. I've gotten complete gel this way without overheating. They are now unmolding nicely too as long as I don't get impatient and wait at least 24 hours.

Warm the mold and then turn the oven off
Pour the soap in, insulate and put back in oven (what do you use to insulate it?)
By heating ingredients, do you mean something like beer or honey which get hot?
Thanks for starting this thread. I just assumed it was my recipe, not a gel problem.
Uh...no, I have no idea what you're talking about.judymoody said:packing peanuts - the kind that invade your home if you buy too many FOs

shteph said:that's a very interesting discussion. i am a very beginner.... tried the gel phase. i have only used silicone muffin moulds and got gel in the middle of the mould, never on the edges. the colour is different, darker in the middle and lighter on the edges. i tried to insulate them properly with towels, but i dont know how well it was. How much time should the moulds stay in the towels.... how long time does the gel phase last? mine... after 3-4 hours got cold. I usually left them over night, altogether... 8hours.
and..by the way.. whats CPOP? thanks
