Hi everybody... made a batch using 15% red palm oil. Love the color. Anyways, had some issues. This heated up quite a bit. Top looks a little funky and one side has pot marks. Been using packing wrap (industrial strength saran wrap) for last couple batches. I think I might be wrapped to tight. (the soap, silly) Not a palm soap fan. But wanted to use red palm. 15% red palm, 32.5% co, 32.5% oo, 5% castor, 5% kokum butter. Pot marks are only on this side. Thanks for looking.
Those spots are water condensation droplets. While the soap was cooling condensation formed under the saran and dripped down the mold lining. This is why when I gelled my soaped under the heat pads and blankets in totes I would lay a towel across the top of the tote under the lid (stretched tight) to catch the condensation. The spots are there to stay but certainly do not hurt anything they are just aesthetic.
