After softening up the cream with your heating method try a few drops of glycerin while whipping up the lather. I have use it with some of my creams that were getting stiff and it seemed to help eliminate the glob of cream.

You can rehydrate these by putting a teaspoon of warm water on top of them and resealing up the tub. Continue doing this every day or so once the original addition of water is absorbed. After you add a couple of teaspoons and it aborbs it, you can mix the tub up to get the stuff at the bottom and continue to add water as needed.

Actually I've tried that but I still end up with globs. It's still a good thought though. Thanks
I had actually done this as well with the Arlington but only did 2 additions of water as I was worried about adversly affecting the cream. Would you suggest pre-bioling the water to help eliminate bacteria or is this not an area where you would worry to much about it? Just figured I'd as since I've seen posts about creams going bad and don't want to throw anything out if I don't have to down the road.
Thanks for the replies,
Michael

I just happen to have distilled water that I bought for my pitcher plants so I'll start adding a little tonight. Thanks to everyone for their assistance with this.

You can always just leave it as it and use it like a soap.
