trying to unmold but..

[trilloneal]

its been two days since i made this soap n its still gooey did i do something wrong or i just need to let it dry?

Without having your recipe in front of me, I can only guess at a solution. Stick it into the freezer for an hour or so, and try again. If it still won't unmold, repeat.

If it is a soft soap, uses a lot of olive oil, not a lot of lard, palm oil, tallow, or coconut oil, then yes you may have to wait longer.

If it is a lard, palm or tallow based soap I would worry.

My soaps are all high olive oil soaps and I can unmold in 24 hours without freezing so I doubt that is the problem (70% Olive Oil).

OP If you would share your recipe including lye and water we can better help...

the freezer technique worked thank you lets just hope it hardens

 

[Lindy]

Give it time, it will. You may have used too much water which is keeping it soft for longer.....

i super fatted at 8%,35% water and 27.3% lye concentration

Did your soap gel? If it did not, it can remain soft to the touch for up to a week or more, depending on your recipe.

yea it gel already they're fine now for some reason they weren't drying fast enough in the mold so i froze them, i could take them out n out side they dried out normally
