I've been making cold process soap batches for years now. If you've done it you know that after 24 hours the soap comes out of the "box" looking quite opaque and as a firm yet soft consistency. Just right for cutting into bars, followed by the 30 or so days of drying.
Well I think I messed up a batch some how. I'm wondering is it salvageable? or should I cut my losses, toss it and start over?
The color and consistency is more like a gummy bear. It's very translucent and even after almost a week has not firmed up enough that I feel I can take it out and slice it. If you touch it there is a lot of give, almost like I made a foot long by 3" by 5" giant chunk of gummy something. Or like pushing your finger into a jar of jelly.
Any chance it's still good? or did I mess up some how in my measurements and should just toss it? Once again I've made a few dozen batches over the past years and never have had a problem before now.
Thanks
