ok just a curious question perhaps im stupid lol but my soap usually takes a while to dry completely ( like 3 days) to where i can take it out of the pan, then when i slice it ( only a few times) it has cracked apart.. am i doing something wrong?
the soaps still look ok, but i want to solve this time to time problem!!! :oops:

It's possible that your soap is crumbly because it's lye heavy. Did you test for zap? Which lye calculator did you use and what is your recipe?
