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.![Smiling face with smiling eyes :blush: 😊](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
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.![Rolling on the floor laughing :rofl: 🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)
Also because I can't help myself, here is Casper being ridiculous again![Rolling on the floor laughing :rofl: 🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)
