Hi, I searched for incomplete gel topics but couldn't find the topic I'm looking for. Sorry if this question has been asked before. My soaps don't completely gel even though I cover them with a wood plank and thick insulation. I'm a little nervous to try CPOP.
When I do incubate SOMETIMES the center seems to bulge, I think this is due to too much heat? So, I'm a little concerned about too much heat and obviously too little since I'm getting those oily looking centers. I think it looks awful. Any suggestions? Does the CPOP really work?

CPOP works, but you need to keep an eye on it so the soap doesn't overheat. I prefer not to gel, so my soaps go in the fridge or the freezer; up to overnight.

I have a simple question; what is the attraction of not gelling?

I am not an expert but I read on the Bramble Berry Website about using a heating pad. So if I am using bright colors and I want them to really be bright I use the heating pad on the lowest setting, cardboard on top and towel around it. My heating pad is not very "hot" on high so I do leave the soap on the pad for about 60 mins. But if you are trying this for the first time I would start with 10 mins. The soap will stay warm for about 14 hours.

This so far has caused no issues but there is always tomorrow.
