I made a batch of soap on the 6th of May that is still sort of soft to the touch. Its like a firm rubber. I have to squeeze to notice, but I have had batches harden quicker (The one I made a day later than this one is already hardened), and I am just wondering if that means this means this batch is botched...? It gets plenty of air.

It should have hardened up by now. Did you use a lot of soft oils? High superfat? Do you have an accurate scale?

I used only olive oil and coconut oil, superfatted at 5 %, but I figured that batch was botched because it was the one I used coffee in. It could be the scale. I got it at walmart. It is digital, though. I'm upset now because my very last batch is still soft too, and its been a week since I poured it. I used my BB FO in it and it is just upsetting to mess up something you can't replace easily!
