My name is Tina, and I have taken on the obsession that is soapmaking. I have ordered my first supply list for M&P soap, 10 lbs total of a mix of clear, white and goatsmilk.
I wanted to make some soap for my family for Christmas, and thought it would be a really fun project to do with my Mom and the kids.
I have a few ideas, and wanted to ask some questions.
How long into the cooling process for M&P soaps can I still mix, swirl, or texture the top of the soap? And can I get heavily textured tops of loaves with M&P soap?
Can M&P soap layers be left to cool between layers? (for a heavily textured layer in the middle of the soap)
Are loaves or slabs best for M&P soaps?
Thanks in advance for the input. I see beautifully textured and rich soap in my dreams.. but have a feeling my first batch will be staying at home, and not be gifts for the family! LOL
