Boo Hoo

[busymakinsoap!]

Today I had a made two successful batches, I think the soap gremlins were on holdiay, and I was on cloud nine

I was trailing a new recipe, and some new FO.

I did lemon and poppy seed, and green tea (with green tea in lye and green tea FO).

I decided to not gell, I really wanted them to stay all creamy looking. So I put them in the fridge. An hour later I had a quick peak.....

Bummer! I quickly put them in a warmed oven. Fingers crossed for a full gell.

(sorry about the big pics, I shrunk them to 20% and there still huge)

Very nice, is that the green tea FO that you got from natural candle?

hi relle,

Yep and it smells just like the Elizabeth Arden version

Man, I hate it when that happens.
I love creamy looking soaps but just cannot stop that gel.
Perhaps if I get a new fridge one day soon....sigh.

I hope they go to full gel for you. Either way though your tops looks lovely.

Here's to both logs finishing up feeling as great as they look!

I reckon they'll be lovely with full gel. :wink:

So pretty, I'm sure it will be great gelled or ungelled.

The tops look great. Haven't had the courage to try that yet - maybe today when I make a test batch of lard soap.

Hope you were able to get it to fully gel! We will want to see cut pics.

Very pretty! Hope you got them to gel all the way.

My fridge can never prevent gel--I stick em outside when it is really cold.

Your soap looks great I hope it turns out for you. I HATE PARTIAL GEL!!!!!! I made a sandalwood soap for my mom for Mother's Day. I did my normal put the mold in the fridge while making the soap, and put the soap in the fridge for 3 hours after I make it. Well I go to cut it 2 days later and find the dreaded partial gel. The last 2 batches of soap went into the freezer for 1 hour and then the fridge for 2 hours, they came out nice and creamy looking.

Here is the sandalwood disaster.
