I bought a big pkg of Ivory bars today, that I was going to shred. But, when I opened the pkg they seemed very moist!!! I don't remember Ivory being like that...but, it has been YEARS since I've used Ivory too.
So now they are sitting on wire racks "drying". I was afraid that if I tried grating them, it would be just a mushy mess! I guess I could be wrong though??? I was going to melt them in my crockpot, add my fragrance and pour into a mold. This was going to be my first batch...now I'm sad I can't do it tonight. And I have to get up early and go on a field trip with my son's class tomorrow...so I have to wait until friday to play :x
I do have two questions. Do I need to add any water when it is melting? My mold holds 64 oz. and I know that I will need 64 oz of melted soap...and can I add any oils to it?
