It ain't over til it's cut. Let's see it. Maybe it will be alright. (besides the air pockets )

 

[morena_mama]

There is a huge pool of oil on top. I can't do anything about it tonight. -sigh-

 

[PrairieCraft]

Oh, boo. If you have a crock pot handy toss it in, the sooner the better and just HP it. You would have to stay up and watch it though.

Bummer. :cry:
Been there with the huge pool of oil thing.
I had to triple bag a soap for the bin once.
It happens.
You never know the oil might reabsorb.

 

[morena_mama]

No crockpot. I'll go to Goodwill this weekend.

I think I'm gonna have to toss this one.

Damn ... a reminder that sometimes things can go horribly wrong!

Any idea what happened?

 

[morena_mama]

I used palm and a new fo. So it could have been either or both

 

[nattynoo]

Never mind.
Start planning the next batch.
Did it get hot????
Possibly overheating and a fiddly FO.

 

[newbie]

Damn! That's a lot of oil. It didn't get too cool on you and give you a false trace, did it? Make a note on that FO, either way, so you can prepare next time. Is Rafiki a floral?

 

[morena_mama]

I soaped right at 100. I usually soap really high like 130-140 lye temp. Oils temps never mattered.

I really didn't think about false trace but would that have gelled in the pot? It was like sandy pudding.

Rafiki is.... fruity?

Most likely the temp was the issue - how much oil did you add? Can you rebatch it?

 

[morena_mama]

I didn't rebatch. I triple bagged and tossed. This was my..... third batch(?) of soap ever. So I wasn't really prepared (or smart enough) to expect to have to rebatch

Big bugger
