I think I may have made a bit of a boo-boo here:

Recently got a puck of the standard VDH soap at CVS, as I wanted something inexpensive to mess around with proportions for uber-lather.

Anyway, I was having trouble with the puck spinning like a top in the mug, so using what I assume is the correct double-boiler method (placed the soap in the bowl and the bowl in a pan of lightly boiling water), I melted it to fit. Stuck it in the freezer for about 24 hours and thought I was set. The soap came out still a bit soft though, and I figured it just needed a bit more time to set and firm up.

Well it's been almost 3 days now, and the whole puck still has about a thick whipped-cream consistency, and I'm wondering if in my newbie zeal, I didn't quite pay enough attention to the shaving & pressing vs. melting method for glycerin- and non-glycerin based soaps. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to toss this puck now (not a huge heartbreak at a whopping $3, but still...), or if there's something I can to do get it back to the right consistency?
