Is it possible to re-gel a batch of soap? I have a batch that only went through a partial gel phase. I have been using wooden loaf molds for a few years no and most of my batches successfully gel and I have no gel rings. I switched to 100% acrylic molds and now I am having gelling issues. I have a few batches that look like they are still gelling in the middle after 12 hours. What should I do about this? Thanks in advance

If the soap got a partial gel and your mold is oven safe, you can put the whole thing in the oven on low (170 degrees US) til it goes back into gel. Keep an eye on it and as soon as it's in complete gel, take it out, let it cool off, then cut. Partial gel is only esthetic. If you don't mind the way it looks, you can leave it be as is.
