Botched batches.....

Oh, those are beautiful even if they crumbled some

Well, it sounded like a fabulous idea...at least in theory That idea will work in a slab mold! At least the soap is usable...can't wait to see what you do with it!
And when all else fails...rebatch, baby!

Sooo, what I did with it was make "Pandora's box" its for viewing in the "Song from the year you were born challenge"

Awww, look at your beautiful disaster, RR. all for the love of a cake embossing mat. At least you fixed it with amazing Martian soap!

Semplice, too bad it crumbled, it's pretty!

R&R: what did you do differently where the 100% olive oil sheet came out so beautifully?

This unexpected surprise was from a fragrance oil last year:

Oh wow, cavernous soap! I had that happen once to me while making my first honey soap! I think it overheated!

Aside from my facial soap being soft from all the soft oils I used I let the 100% olive soap get frozen before trying to slip out the soap. (I put the other one in the freezer but not for as long) That was the only thing i did different. Im hoping that the next time I do it that it will come right out and that it wasnt just a fluke!

First attempt with rebatching soap. Too much liquid (tea) and mouse turds (lavender buds). Still crumbly and spongy!

I don't need to post my dearly departed coffee soap pics. They
look exactly like liz's mouse turd bars! :clap:

Seriously. They really do. Only it's too-coursely-ground coffee instead
of lavender for turds, which makes using it feel like scouring yourself with
sandpaper. Of course mine still SMELLS like burnt coffee, so I had that
going for me :roll:

My first batch of coffee soap looks beautiful until I tried using it lol, yes, it was like heavy gritt sandpaper! This last batch I made I used way less and sifted it real fine. Its curing now so i hope to find out soon if it made much of a difference.
