    I have been having issues on my product. I am making waterbased pomade. I left the product overnight after brewing process. The surface of it become hard and inside its still viscous(liquid). Anyone been having some issues like mine? If yes why this keeps on happening? And suggestion to handle it? 

    Thanks for your attention.

    How can we possibly answer your question? You have provided no information. You need to post the formula and in particular the handling and storage. Meanwhile, here is a way of mixing lots of pomade:Image result for cement mixer

    I assume it is not exposed to the air after preparation? Cool down in the final container?
