Shala Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Good luck!! I'm still trying to get up the nerve to try a batch. Be sure and let us know how it turns out and post pictures if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atropa Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 It's been a little over 8 hours now and it's still pretty soft. It's barely startng to get hard right at the corners. This better work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atropa Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 It worked!! And beautifully! I did one lavender and one ginger-lime, both with essential oils. The scent is still there (hopefully it'll stay) and they look gorgeous on the inside. I'll get some pics as soon as I can borrow a camera, mine doesn't work. Whew *wiping sweat*. My question is, am I still allowed to call it cp? Or do I have to give some sort of explanation at the craft fair I have coming up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhondaP Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I do CPOP and the only difference from regular CP is that you've forced gel by putting it in the oven. I LOVE CPOP as I find it is the only way I can completely ensure that my soap has gelled perfectly! I've had several batches of regular CP that I thought had gelled completely, but I was left with ungelled centers.I've never had any problem with the soap losing its scent...HTH, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
