singleyellowrose Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 You can use any CP recipe for HP. I don't do HP. I don't like and it don't like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 When I hp I use the higher water amount that the soap cal gives you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can do use the same recipe for CP and HP.I buy my lye at Lowe's. The Roebic brand.DonnaAren't you guys up all night like me??? Come on, just because there is a BIG time zone difference between East and West doesn't mean your suppose to be asleep when I am awake :laugh2: Sorry about all, I always forget the time difference and that everyone on here is not from the West. I am so torn, I am really wanting to dive into the CP or HP soaps but of course never have done either YET... I have pro and con thoughts on both.HP sounds messier and hard to mix and swirl.....and CP....I don't have waiting patience for one but if I am going to have even a small variety of soaps, I don't really have the room to have a bunch of these wrapped up in towels and hanging out...for a month of sundays! I just don't know!!! Grrrrr.Thanks for all the help, once again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaW Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Make a small batch of each and that will give you an idea of which method you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJae Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hmmm, I really don't want to do that because I don't have some things like a crock pot.I don't want to go buy a crock pot and decide this is a PITA, I will do CP instead. Then I have a crock pot I paid for sitting there.Plus it will make the family see it sitting there and they will come up with recipes of their own (you know like food ones) for me to cook in it and that ain't happenin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganst Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Try CPOP. Kinda the best of both worlds. No crock pots and no blankets. It's the only way I soap now since I am very impatient but like smooth soap.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJae Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 OHHH sounds good, never heard that one, where can I find info and recipes for doing that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJae Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Found some info on it, sounds good to me, gonna work on giving it a try, gotta get a mold first.Just dreading having the oven on when it has been 103 here daily! Oh boy, getting excited.....This is sick, sick, sick.Just read a few posts here and there is something about you people in the way word stuff that makes people get sucked in....LOL Kind of like years ago at the movies when they used film (dating myself here)they would take like every 30th frame and put in a food frame. You never see it it but it suggests to the sub consious. I haven't even finished playing with M&P and I am looking to move on.Hey, are you guys getting kick backs from the suppliers??? j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Moe tooBought five lbs of M&P and used up two, then started to make my own soap, now I can hardly wait to make another batch. M&p still sitting there.The reason I started making cphp is because this new base has no lather and my customers were not happy, so I decided to cut out the middleman and make my own soap. Hubby says " this is by far the best soap I have ever used" And I tell you he is my tester because he has super sensitive skin and everything makes him itch. So If he thinks the soap is that good ,I know customers will love it.It is so cool to see you creation turn ino real soap. Have fun and let us know how it turns out!!

DeJae Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Is CPHP the same as CPOP???I know there are many many great recipes on this board and they all sound wonderful but I can not decide where to begin.I don't want to do something to hard to start cause I don't want it to discourage me. Can anyone suggest or point me in a good direction here.I have some ingredients but I know not enough to do a soap and I don't want to buy a bunch of something till I have a direction. HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Check out this which is actually a sticky at the top of the Soaps area: http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=769CP - Cold Process, Cold Processed. Soapmaking method where the soap mixture is mixed and poured at room temperature (more or less). CPHP - Crock Pot Hot Soap. Soapmaking method where the soap mixture is cooked in a crock pot. CPOP - Cold Process, Oven Process. Soapmaking method where the soap mixture is poured into moulds, which are then placed into the oven and "baked" at very low temperature. OHP - Oven Hot Process - you basically do your HP in the oven in a pot instead of on the counter in a crock pot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have made the MicroWave 30 minute HP soap and the HP but the OPHP is my favorite. I have both a 3lb loaf and a tall one what ever it's called and several bar size. Making the OPHP in the same as CP mix until trace then pour into mold, pop in oven and cut when you take it out. I put mine in a *175 oven for 1hr then turn oven off and leave mold in till next day. It will be cool and mine is already hard enough to cut. Plus you can use it right away if there is no zap.http://www.microwavesoap.homestead.com/a couple more siteshttp://www.teachsoap.com/ohp.htmlhttp://members.tripod.com/allcrafts/http://www.soapnuts.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
