I can tell you what it looks like. About 30mins after you pour in the mould the soap gets really hot and starts to go liquid again From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mandy Coleman Sent: Sunday, 30 May 2010 5:53 p.m. To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [soapcraft] Re: Maggie's Soap Kia ora @ the risk of sounding ignorant, How do you know when a soap gels? I have heard the gel conversation before and really didn't have the space to consider it but now I do, its obv about temperature, insulation, whats in the soap .thanks Arohanui Mandy Coleman Mokihinui Mansions 36-56 Lewis Street Mokihinui RD1 Westport 037821837 0273075881 _____ From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Liz Brook Sent: Thursday, 27 May 2010 5:25 p.m. To: Soapcraft Subject: [soapcraft] Maggie's Soap Hi Maggie, I had a look at your soap pics and it is definitely just a difference in the heat of both lots. Small volumes sometimes don't gel and therefore will be lighter in colour and perhaps a little softer than the lot in the mould that did gel. The non-gelled soap will take a little longer to cure as well. They look great - natural, earthy and wholesome. Liz No virus found in this incoming message.
