I made a beautiful batch of Gardenia. It cut smoothly, but the edges are crumbly. I take the end piece which is about 1/4" thick and cut it up in squares for samples....that's when I noticed it was crumbly, they didn't crumble when cut, but I could crumble with my hands.

Will this batch cure ok, or is it no good and needs to be rebatched?

It depends; what was your recipe, how much water did you use, what was your superfat, did you gel or not?
If the recipes was correct; yes you can rebatch.

I think I got in too big a hurry and got stick happy on this one.
Here is the recipe I used:
Olive 50%
Coconut 20%
Palm 20%
Castor 10%
SF 8%
Water % Oil 38

You don't think it will set up without rebatching?

Did you get a partial gel maybe? Sometimes what happens with partial gel is that the ends become crumbly if they didn't gel.

Did you discount your water? I don't understand what you mean by "Water % Oil 38".

I just went and broke one in half very easily. No I didn't discount the water. I think if anything it cooled off on me and I got a false trace or else I over stirred and got a false trace. :( guess I'll have to rebatch it. Gosh it was such a pretty color!:(

If that's the case, I would rebatch.

I agree with soapbuddy - I'd suspect partial gel, too.

Is crumbly soap just not good at all or just not good to sell?
