Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 If you cover your soap so it is air tight it will not form ash. I use plastic wrap.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Wow, I bet they did. I forgot to ADD a lb. of one of my oils to a recipe. Someone convinced me online to drag it all out whip in the oil. Broke my stick blender, and I still had to toss the soap. That's funny, two weeks to get out of the mold. I bet it was wonderful soap. Did it go rancid with that high a superfat? DOS, Dreaded Orange Spots? I made the mistake of adding my olive oil twice to a recipe. A friend did the math for me and said that I had superfated it at 23%. It was very soft to say the least. I had to wait about 2 weeks just to get it out of the mold. It took another 6 months to get hard but everyone that use it just loved it.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 No because olive has a great shelf life and we use it as soon as it was hard. Everyone wanted to try it.
