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:

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just make sure you leave the soap in the molds long enough. The time it will take will vary depending on size and mold detail. Should be a nice hard recipe. Good luck. ☺
 
Thanks so much for your reply. I guess I will just keep this as a go-to recipe for all my embeds and just make up a bunch at a time to use in my other soaps.
