elitenaildesign Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 My dh is so impatient to use his new Axe soap. I JUST made it Sat. I thought I read somewhere a girl put her newly made soap in her car because of the heat wave and this would speed up the curing. Its been around 100 everyday this last week and it must be 150 in my car sitting in the sun all day. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineSundries Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi Jen!First - there is no such thing as a dumb question! Think of all the things we wouldn't have if such *dumb questions* weren't asked... Second - I have heard of people doing this in the trunk of their car but I would worry about volcano effect going off in my car!! So I've been thinking that on one day when it's like 80* out and I can actually work in my work room without passing out, I'm going to try putting my grill out where it will be in the sun for most of the day and then leave it there over night and pop it out in the morning. I figure if it flows over, it's destined to be cleaned! But I can't see why you *couldn't* do CPOP in your car, I'd just be prepaired for everything/anything...Life & Light!Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 When I was soaping at home and it was hot as Hades outside, I would cure all of my soaps in the garage. At 150 degrees, it did a great job CPOPing my batches!PS - I used to do it in my car, but liked the idea of the garage better in case of volcano!

CareBear Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 just want to be clear - you already did the oven part, right? so now you just want to speed up the 3-week cure period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Do a tongue zap test and if you get no zap, tell hubby to go ahead and use it. It, of course, will be softer than if you let it cure for a few more weeks, but it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 No, I would skip the oven all together when I used the garage and car - it was already like an oven in there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 You can also use a cooler or one of those cheap foam coolers they sell for abour $2 at the grocery store. Sit your soap in there then sit it outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
