    Beginner soap maker...first attempt.

    Beginner soap maker...first attempt.

    Thanks for the feedback. I’m still new to this but what do you mean by soaping a little warmer? Have the water at a warmer temp when mixing with the lye or have them in a warmer spot when in the mold? Thanks for the feedback!!!
