I had a request to make a couple batches of soap for someone that wants lots of embed toppers. They asked if I could cut down on the price by using a cheaper recipe for just the embeds that I will be using. Weird but I said I would ask ya'lls advice I made a recipe that will be nice and hard so maybe the unmolding will go smoothly. Would you please take a gander at my recipe and see what you think about it? I thought about just using melt and pour but with our humidity and my only having regular melt and pour, I figured I would just do cp. I plan on mixing up only one batch at a time so it won't get thick on me quickly. I tried to upload it but for some reason it won't let me. Here it is copy and pasted so sorry about that:
