This was a shocking success! I didn’t spill soap everywhere, the soap hardened and I was able to cut it, and the layers looked nice and clean. Even the colours turned out nice and bright like I wanted. I’m not quite at beautiful soap yet, but with my fifth batch finished I’m at least not making awkward soap on my learning to make cold process soap journey.
The recipes and directions to learn soap making are all in this book which I highly reccomend:
