Thank you. I'm new to the forum, but will repost the photos in the melt and pour forum media.
I will use that method and try again. Thank you for your help!
Someone gave me a few sealed bags of supposed melt and pour soap pellets. I zapped them several times and they didn't melt. I ran a few under the tap and they sudsed up. They eventually started to stick together, but still no melt. No luck with an Internet search. I posted photos showing before...
