I made some solid lotion and poured them into tins. They seem too hard to me. It's kind of hard to get enough of it on my fingers so I can rub it into wherever I need it. Is there a way I can remelt them in the tins and start over or is this how they are supposed to be?

Sounds like your recipe is too hard. The lotion bar should melt easily from the warmth of your fingers. I don't see how you can remelt it in the tins without making a mess and getting an accurate measurement to reformulate. Which recipe did you use?

You might try setting the tins in the top of a double broiler over simmering water. When melted remove them with thongs and empty into a glass bowl redo your recipe then if you know what it needs.

Whenever that accidentally happens to me, I just scoop it all out with a spoon or butter knife and remelt while adding extra liquid oils or softer butters. It's worked for me:)

I have a wax warmer like the ones they sell at beauty salons. I place the tin on top and once all the oils melt I just pour out and clean the inside of the tin. Added to say that the tin becomes mine for my own personal use. I don't recycle tins for selling.

I make them out of the tin and place them in later. I also use a mini cupcake insert because I like taking them out and warming in my hands to spread. That is the way I sell them too, I sometimes pour right into the tin, but still have the mini cupcake insert in first so they can be re-melted if I do not like how they come out.
