Thanks E. I think 4 lbs will be a good number to try and if it looks like too much at the last minute, I will make a couple of small soaps in molds. I was down for the count all wk end with a sinus infection so no soaping here. But I will get it done for sure this week or wk end, as soon as I can get some energy back. Care Bear, I will definately take pics, and hopefully they will be post worthy.
