Teach Soap

For the second time, yesterday I made some soap using the crockpot, the last time I made it (a year ago) everything went fine without any incident. It was time to pour it into the mold, I turned around to get the prepared molds, when I turned back around the soap was bubbling up like a volcano and went all over my stove top. By the time I managed to clean up the mess well enough to pick up the crock, the soap had began marbling, so when I took it out of the mold it began to crumble a little. Haven't had time to check on it today, hopefully it will be ok. Don't know what caused it to bubble over like that, don't know if maybe I waited too long before pouring it up.

It got too hot. What did you have the crock turned up to?

Trapped air will make it bubble up too. I have to tilt my crock when SB'ing or too much air gets trapped in the soap and it needs more frequent stirring to keep it down.
