MasterBaker2 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 With my first batch of CP under my belt Mrs MB wants me to do a batch of HP so she can try the soap while the CP batch cures. I don't have any individual molds so I'm wondering if I can just put the whole batch into the log mold and then cut like you would a CP batch? Seems like it should work but figured I would ask first before ruining a batch. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Absolutely! Make sure you really mash the soap down to remove any air pockets or you'll have ugly holes in your finished soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Yes, it will work just fine. If you're not adding milk or honey to the soap, I would suggest 1 TBL of sugar dissolved in the water before you add lye. This will make your batter more fluid and easier to mold at the end of the cook.After pouring, bang the mold several times on the counter / table / floor to help remove air pockets.HTHEdited to add: The bars will last longer if given a few weeks to dry out (they'll lose water and get harder), but you can still use a bar right away. It will just be softish and not long lasting. No biggie if you're in a hurry to use the soap, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBaker2 Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Thank you for the quick responses ladies. Much appreciated. Sure glad I have an addictive personality so I have something else to throw my money at. Another one gets bitten by the soap bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesequeen Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 So MB, did ya make it yet? What's on tap for batch #3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Another thing is you can unmold your soap a lot quicker too. I can make and unmold and use my bars in about 5 or 6 hours. Like Crafty said, it will be soft but very useable right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBaker2 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 So MB, did ya make it yet? What's on tap for batch #3?LoL No not yet. Too much stuff going on. Probably tomorrow morning. Batch #3 is already planned though. It is going to be Mambo as soon as I get my order from Brenda. Damn this is addicting, can't say I wasn't warned though.
