I had bought a 6 pound can of Crisco at Costco, but then only one of my recipes called for it, so I had 5 pounds of Crisco left. I made up a batch of soap based on your recipe, except that I scaled it up to use up the 5 pounds of Crisco. My soap is veeeery soft. It's been several days and it's still sort of the consistency of fudge. All my other batches of soap have hardened up. Any idea what's wrong with my Crisco soap?

I haven't ever had that happen. Well, the only time I've had it go to mashed potatoes on me is when everything was still too hot. I accidentally 'hot processed' my soap, which makes a clearer-ish gummy eraser consistency. That’s a head scratcher. I haven’t ever had that happen.
