I cut Red Apple Disaster today. It cut fine, if a bit tackier than I'd prefer. I probably should have let it sit a few more days, but it seemed like it was firm enough. Oh, well! It still smells amazing!
You can see the little white specks in it that I was talking about in these pictures. From some reading, I've found that that's most likely from the lye cooling too much before I poured it. I did think it may have been too warm, but the whole event was one thing after another and I honestly don't remember, I wasn't paying enough attention to details like that. Anyway, it's harmless, just a visual thing, and the soap passes the 'zap test' so the lye level is fine in it, which means it should be just fine to use once cured.
You can see some swirls in the bottom, here, because I wasn't able to stir the pigment in all the way thanks to the fragrance accelerating it. I meant to go a bit lighter with the pigment overall, but when it started to accelerate I panicked and just dumped the pigment in.
Also because I can't help myself, here is Casper being ridiculous again
