Opposites Pull Throughs

[Humblegoat]

Arghhhhh I didn’t leave headroom!! I got a smaller one out finally by standing on the can!! It’s been out of the freezer for 30 minutes.



I didn’t leave headroom! Damn! Got this far. Should I freeze again? Run hot water over the mold? Just leave it set for awhile?

Finally! I guess it is soapy beans for dinner tonight. Now I’m late and I don’t have time to get my soapamine fix!

It doesn't look like you lined it with freezer paper.

oh I sure didn’t. Several rookie mistakes that I hope to not repeat!! But it is how we learn. They were interesting. Here’s how they finally turned out. A couple of questions-my recipe was lard heavy 40/60 sat/unsat on advice of wild Plantica. 1. I didn’t put coloring in the regular batter, some soaps have white, others it is brown. The white was from the mold with less volume. Less heat generated with less volume?
2. I didn’t use goat milk (don’t tell Daisy Mae) as I was afraid it would burn the milk. Is it just gel that causes the brown? Do you use coloring for white to make sure it stays white, and will it really.
3. I used mica to color, they looked vivid in mixing, but was more muted than I had expected.
Any and all feedback would be appreciated. I don’t think it was too bad for a first trial, a couple are pretty awesome. I feel side pull is superior to center pull.
Thank you all for your help in my hour (literally) of need!!
