Has anyone had this happen?!

My recipe is olive oil, coconut oil and crisco, with blue ultramarine and FO.

Thanks for any ideas!

Looks like a partial gel or could be the FO. Pretty blue colour. :)
 
Actually it looks like what happens when I spray mine with alcohol right after I pour. So instead I just cover with cling wrap and spray later if I need to remove ash.
 
Could it be ash starting to make its way on the soap? I've never seen anything like that before.
 
Yes, the color was definitely mixed really well and it's not an ash thing.
It seems like an oil issue of some kind maybe .. but I'm not sure what would cause it!
BTW the color is blue ultramarine in case you want to try it :)
 
I just had a batch that turned out like that; I'd planned to CP it but it went to trace immediately and then started to rice or seize, I haven't decided which yet LOL, so I threw it in the crockpot hoping to save it. I did, but now it looks just like your soap. I'm such a newbie I don't have any suggestions, but wanted to let you know my experience that gave me the same look.
