What the heck happened!! HELP!!

[Zelda Rose]

I made 4lbs of cp and added Plumeria from Brambleberry. Divided to four colors and everything just turned lumpy and grainy. I added a little water to the colors and reblended then put everything in the mold. Oil started seeping out over the side down onto the floor.!! it had separated! Then my soap turned to like curds and whey. So I got a ladle and got it out of the mold into a tall pot and stirred it all together. It's grey of course.. Can I just put this mess into a crock pot and hot process it? It looks smoother now and not so weird.. I have never had this happen and don't know what this is called. Thank god I had glasses on. The blender flipped and shot soap all over my face. What an afternoon.. lol

The plumeria from brambleberry definitely accelerates trace. They even mention it on the website when describing the fragrance oil " For CP Soapers, this scent moves quickly so be prepared to pour into molds in a hurry."

I knew that and just forgot . No wonder I had so much in the bottle!!! I just need to know if I can hot process this mess in the crock pot now.. Thanks for the reply..

Yes, you can HP it.

Yes, try to hp it in the crock pot. That's what I'd try, anyway. If it separates again or gets funky, you may be able to SB it into submission.

Good luck!

That I do not know - I have never done HP soap..... but, if you really like the Plumeria Fragrance for your CP soap, Elements Bath and Body has a wonderful one (Frangipani) that does not accelerate trace.

I've got it in the crock pot now. I added a little water but it's like cement mortar. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes. I think I can save it/ Thanks I'll order the Frangipani for sure from Elements Body and bath. Can't believe this has never happened to me. Been 2 years. I guess I've been lucky..oh except for the time there was a volcano in the gas stove and it lit on fire. Only got one bar of soap out of that..

I have a beautiful plumeria from California Candle supply, it is body safe even if the site does not say. It will accelerate, but use full liquid and it is workable

Just put everything into molds. Somehow I ended up with 2 more pounds of grey soap??? Looks like a cashmere sweater so I dressed it up with some pearls and it actually look pretty good. Held the scent so I'm good to go!! I don't EVER want to do this again!! Thanks everybody for your advise and tips on scent, I wrote everything down. I really appreciate it!
