crystal80 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I want to buy a book for CPSM, but I can't make up my mind, because there are so many . I would like to know your opinion before I do so.Also, how long do I have to wait for the soap to cure after rebatching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Anne Watson's Smart Soapmaking is a must have. I love any of Sandy Maine's books because they have gorgeous photos. The recipes are pretty simplistic but that's a good thing. Alicia Grosso's Everything Soapmaking book is great too. A word to the wise, no matter where you get your recipes, ALWAYS run them through a soap calculator. Typos can and do happen. ~Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 You can rebatch anytime , the sooner the better . I like Catherine Failors books and the above mentioned ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystal80 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 :whistle:No, the question is, how long do I have to wait for the batch that I (rebatched) did to cure?I loveeeeee the smily faces. I am just kidding, of course!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 If you rebatched soap that was already cured, you can use it sooner, once it's firm and moisture has evaporated. If you rebatched soap which hadn't yet cured or was only partially cured, then you'll have to wait the usual cure time. You might like Alicia Grosso's book. It includes the various soap making techniques. You may be doing CP for now, but if you decide to venture into HP or MP later on, the book will already have instructions.

Stinkydancer Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I was going to mention all of those above. Good info in all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I also recommend Alicia Grosso's book! Very nice for the beginner. Also, once you venture into different methods, I would recommend Catherine Failor's books. Have fun soapin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miadrianel Candles Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Anne Watson's Smart Soapmaking is a must have.I would like to second that. I received the book today and although I haven't made soap yet I think it's great info and very simple easy to understand.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
