Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 I was making soap today and used a slightly different recipe. I usually divide the batch in thirds to scent, and by the time I got to the last portion, it was so hard I couldn't work the additives or scent in. This have never happened before (must the the cocoa butter I added). Anyway, can this batch be softened up any--perhaps by putting it in the oven on low for awhile? I tried heating it up on the stove on low but that didn't work. Help! It's about three pounds of a great blend! Can I save it? Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 You can rebatch this soap. Grate it up and make a 1/2 batch of new soap then add the grated soap. When it comes to med. trace mold it and it should be fine. Chris > I was making soap today and used a slightly different recipe.
