I had that happen with a batch once. I think that my case was a combination of not baking the baking soda for long enough and not mixing it into the RODI slowly enough. I dumped it and made a new batch.

I generally bake a box of arm and hammer at 400 for 1.5-2 hrs, then slowly add it to half a container of RODI. Shake vigorously, fill the container the rest of the way, shake vigorously.
