mcornwell Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 i made soap awhile ago and when i added lye at 110 degrees and then fo i ended up with mashed potatos. how can some make such smooth soap when i get goop? i do cpop. maybe i need to try cp what is the difference besides cure time. i hate to wait. any help would be great.

Carrie Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Was it goop in the soap pot or goop after the cook.Most times it's the FO that does it to me. I don't cpop though, just CP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrogers397 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I agree it is usually the fo that makes soap thick like mashed potatoes or too many solid oils. Maybe post your recipe with the fo you used. Did you discount the water perhaps. It could be a number of things. If you can just bring your soap to trace and pour in molds while it is still pourable then place in the oven.Janis Rogersjansbathscents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Sounds like what happens when you get ricing with an fo that accelerates. Next time just smooth it back out with the sb as best you can and get it into the mold quickly. Beat it back into submission! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 There's no difference between CP & CPOP except you're putting the CP into the oven, thus the OP part. Also, all you're doing with the OP part is ensuring gel. You still need to wait for the full cure time (4-6weeks) to get a good bar of soap both with CP and CPOPI agree it's the FO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I hope you didn't ditch the soap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
