This is the mold that came with the kit. The plastic bag was not conducive to a square bar of soap coming out.
This is mixing the oils with the lye solution - you mix until it 'traces' (leaves a trail - compared to pudding in thickness.)
Then you add color and scent and pour it in the mold for 24 hours.
After you let it set for 24 hours, you cut it into bars and then it has to cure for 3 weeks.
So.... in about 3 weeks, I can try it and let you know how it turned out! I don't know which size bar I like better either. I think next time, I'll let Todd cut it for me. He's good at stuff like that :)
It got cold again here in the south - chili for dinner tonight!!
Nice color Wendy, it looks Black on my screen. Hope it dosen't harm your skin.

ReplyDeleteanxious to hear about how it turns out. I had no idea you had to let it cure for 3 weeks! I guess if you want to make them for gifts for Christmas, ya had better get to makin' more soap! lol What scent did you make it?
ReplyDeleteSo cool you guys did this!!!!! Tyler loves smelling the soaps at the Farmer's Market and the lady there is so nice! I told him we would try this but haven't done it yet! Can't wait to hear how you like it!
ReplyDeleteWe do Chili a lot too! We have so many hot days that I get so excited when cold days come around and so it's either Chili, Pot Pie or Hot Cocoa:)
