| Hot Process Soap Making! |
Making hot process soap is no easy task! It does take some time and experience to get it right, and to get the artistic component down. My first effort at making hot process soap was the Apple Crisp recipe. I cooked the soap way to long, I had difficulty determining when it had reached the proper stage called saponification. I had real problems when it came time to mold. It was way too dry, and seized up when I began to mix in the additives. I have since learned that I could have added water. A whole bunch of the bars crumbled into pieces when slicing them. Others may have thrown out the entire batch, it did cross my mind, but I just couldn't bring myself to waste all that good stuff!
