Probably. I tried to do them in a muffin tray. It's 3.5" in diameter and 1.5" deep. I'll try a smaller batch today. I put my soap in the freezer last night so hopefully it will work.

I tried a couple last night and that chunks just started melting. I use the same clear base for the chunks as well as the base and done what Lane said and just heavily coloured the chunks. Unfortunately the did not turn out right and now it just looks like I've put drops of colour in the soap...

Is there a way to put confetti in M&P soap using M&P confetti without it melting?

Have tried a M&P soap with my mini loaf mold and it turned out great, a little bent in the middle because the sides bend off the weight but still produced a nice bar

Many thanks for all your replies. It's still got a few weeks to go yet so hopefully everything will be ok

it is like dust but it is in the soap and not just on the surface. It's only on one side of the soap and not on the side that is lying on the cooling rack

My Trays have just came this morning. Will try a M&P batch tonight after work and let you know what they're like. Ohhh I don't want to go to work now, it's not fair. I just wanna make soaps

Thanks for your replies. I have now ordered a blue, yellow and a pink one wooo hooo. I can't wait till they come so I can get soaping.

Well I've been looking and I think i'm falling in love with the MyWeigh 7001DX scale. It does have the Tare weight feature. Would like to hear more comments on a decent scale to use for soap making. I am worried I will be making the wrong decision if I do buy these and it is a lot of money to...

Greg you are a star. My scales I have at the moment do have Tare weight and measure in grams but to be perfectly honest they are very old and possibly inaccurate. I am totally new to soap making. Only started M&P soap 2 weeks ago but felt that It wasn't good enough as I had to make the soap...

Scales I used some peppermint FO in my batch of soap. When I done the tongue test I got a little zap nothing major. I was thinking to change me scales anyway and wondering if you guys can give me a bit of advice as to which ones. I have been looking at the following...

sizzle I've tried the tongue test and I think my soap is too caustic. I can't understand how when I made sure everything was measured correctly and i was stirring for nearly 2 hours before I got a trace (I didn't have a whisk and so had to use a spatula) Do you think I should try re-batching...

white dots The recipe said to mix between 80f and 130f so I mixed at 100f. The Palm and coconut oils were like marzipan (sorry don't know how else to describe it) my scales do measure down to .1 of an ounce but now am wondering if they broke. The white dots are dry and they are in the top of...

I have just checked and yes I did 50% Olive, 30% Coconut and 20% Palm in a 2lb batch

recipe really sorry I'm no good at percentages. I bought a soap making pack from the soap kitchen and they had the recipe there. It doesn't have percentages. It was a 2lb batch

I tried my first batch of CP soap I left it for 42 hours then cut it and have left it to cure. I looked at it today and noticed these tiny little white spots on top of the soap. Is this normal or is this a ruined batch. I followed the following recipe. 340g water 125g lye 454g olive oil...

I was wondering if anyone has tried the silicone loaf trays you can get off ebay and whether or not they are a good piece of equipment for CP soaps? Your comments would be greatly appreciated as I was thinking about getting one myself. They are so cheap and apparently you don't need to line...

Thank you Thank you all for your help. I live in the United Kingdom and we don't have a Wal-Mart or Sears. I guess I'll just have to shop around for the equipment I need. At least now I know what I need to look out for :lol:

Hi I'm totally new to soap making and was hoping that I could get some ideas on the equipment eg. pots and pans. I have read that I should only use stainless steel or enamel stockpots the thing is most stockpots I come across are cast iron with an enamel coating would this still be ok to use?
