I made 5-30ml batches on the 9th and they still aren't cured yet. I can clearly see a delineation of clear and color and when I try to mix them the layers are visible even after shaking them. They've been kept in a cupboard during this whole time and with this weather it's been at a little below room temperature, but not excessively so.
I realize that some liquids take longer than others to cure, but I would think that at least one or two would be finished by now. In fact, I had made one of these recipes before and it was done in a week. There's still about 3/4 of an inch of clear liquid in the bottom of that jar.
One issue: I received a new batch of 30 ml bottles and they appear exactly as described: 30 ml. That is: very little air in the bottle to breath or to provide leverage towards shaking them. My previous batch of bottles was a little over, allowing me to keep enough air in them.
Yesterday I placed all of the bottles in a bowl of very hot water. Doesn't seem to have helped. I'm reluctant to place plastic bottles in a pot of water on the stove.
I did leave them cap-less for two days before putting the caps on. Not that it helped since there's maybe one small bubble of air in each bottle.
Any suggestions?
