Those are lovely! They look good enough to eat!

Thanks everyone. I think I'll try the one pour. I did attempt to break up the slab by wrapping it in an old ninja turtle sheet and banging it on the garage floor (you can tell how long ago this was by the sheet - I did not have much success and like the poster above, made numerous holes in the sheet. I think I'm done with that method - I'll try the one pour. Thanks again!

I make CP soap and have been for over 10 years. A while back I attempted the foray into candlemaking, using a presto pot over a pot of boiling water. The main problem was the wax! I bought a 'slab' of wax and that sucker was HARD. It was hard work trying to get that thing chopped up into managable pieces to fit into the presto pot. I think I broke out into a sweat! Well, I may be ready to give it another go. I think I gave away the last slab of wax. Is wax sold in more managable pieces? How about the new soy wax...is that any easier to work with? I'm interested in just container candles for now. I've seen 'one pour' wax advertised too - should I look into that instead? How about a crockpot for melting...I've read about the Presto's but I have a crockpot already with a low and high setting. Can you use one of those, or no?? thanks!!

These kids' molds are really cute http://www.milkywaymolds.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=KID21208&Category_Code=CR&Product_Count=29 the same company also has dinosaur molds for soap. Nancy
