Good morning, hope everyone had a beautiful Thanksgiving Day!! made two batches same recipe, 8.4 oz coconut,13.2 palm,18oz OO,2oz castor, 2 oz shea butter, 6.322 lye,14.39 water, temped between 110-115. One batch put in milk cartons with lav eo, put in small cooler covered with towel,left there for 48 hrs,came out crumbly,dry, and a darker circle in center sort of soft, I probably good break up the soap around the outside a good inch. 2nd-Wood mold cucumber/melon FO/ green French clay covered with towel, came out awesome!!! So frustrated because it takes some much time, and product to make soap.This is my second batch with the ugly circle in the middle. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks

That circle is a partial gel. I haven't run your recipe through a lye calc, so how much did you superfat?

Milk cartons don't insulate very well. Wood molds do. Since your soap in the milk carton didn't gel, that's probably why the edges were crumbly.

Thank you, glad it's totally fixable. Looks like my wish list from Santa will be another wood mold! I liked the quart milk carton because it's a nice size for a square bar, and inexpensive. If I was to insulate more would that eliminate my problem.

Ungelled soap can be pretty crumbly for a few days, mine takes ~8 days to be cuttable! Depends a lot on the recipe, but the "crumblies" usually occur within the first 3 days, from my understanding anyhow.
