Today I washed with the most wonderful soap I have ever tried. It is a salted out Castile. I cut off a piece even though it had not fully dried yet. No other soap has been feeling as good as this one. This soap was washed with a lot of water, three times, and three times salted out from the water.
Anyone that has ever tried to salt out a soap probably knows how very wet the soap is. Even now, a whole month since I salted it out, it is still very damp inside. At this point you can still form it by hand even. Now I would want to speed up this whole process a lot and I am looking for ideas.
The idea I am having is to first put the salted out soap into textile bags and centrifuge it in the laundry machine. Then I would press the soap mass inside of a PVC pipe with help of plywood disks and a gluing clamp. This would remove quite a bit of fluid too and help the soap to stick together.
Is anyone having better ideas?
