Does gelling CP soap have the same effect as HP soap?

[rebekahp]

Made a milk, lavender & honey soap a few days ago, here is what it looked like before gelling.

Here it is in gel mode

No zap tonight, does this mean it went through a HP?[/img]

Anyone?

 

[krissy]

no, it is just finished saponifying and now it needs to cure for approx 4 weeks. it is safe to use though once it no longer zaps, it just isnt as good a result as it will be 4 weeks from now.

Thanks Krissy, will try HP next time as it sounds like alot of fun & instant gratification!!

HP is a lot of fun and the instant gratification is nice. it is a whole other monster with issues all it's own though, so do your research and dont expect your first batch to be to pretty :wink:

my first batch looked like petrified mash potatoes

HP soap is safe to use when it's done cooking, but I prefer to let it cure still for at least 3-4 weeks. The soap will get harder, more water will evaporate and it will last longer in the shower.

Just have to ask, is that a nizzy mold and do you like them?

yes & I love it!!

I have a nizzy mold too but I find it hard to unmold, I see you don't use lining with it, do you have any problems unmolding?
