[Nfb-krafters-korner] soap making

[Dan Brewer]

Hi Sharon,
No, nothing dangerous is done around here.  Yes, you melt the 
block.  It takes thirty seconds or maybe double that in the 
microwave.  It is a bit like wax.  It probably has some kind of wax 
in it but was not so hot it burned.

I chose large simple molds. It is an oval I have.  I poured about a 
half mold of soap first.  Then added the scent. The kind I got was 
like little crumbs.  The dirrections say to spread it around with a 
tooth pick. I tried to scatter it evenly.  Then when that half cooled 
and set, I added more melted soap.  Maybe I was lucky this time. But 
nothing overflowed and each mold came out full.  It took another half 
hour for the soap to set and I could remove it from the molds.  It is 
harder tonight after several hours.

You add the color drops right after removing it from tthe 
microwave.  Of course, it takes a bit of stirring. Not much 
though.  The spoon and cup came clean with a bit of warm water.  It 
isn't as messy as candle making.
