This is what HP gel looks like

[Skatergirl46]

A few people have been talking about trying HP lately so I thought I would post a few pictures of what the gel phase looks like in the pot. It's easier than trying to describe it. The first one is the gel just starting around the edges. The second one is when gel is nearly finished. The darker parts are the gelled soap.

I'll be trying HP someday and I'm just as nervous about it as I was before trying CP. Pics like these really help make sense of the process. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the pictures, it is great to see what it should look like. I way over cooked my HP batch, I was scared of it not getting done! It is okay, smells a little funky, but the hubby likes it.

My one HP batch looked so much lumpier than yours! Thanks for sharing!

Do you use sodium lactate? When I HP it doesn't look so smooth.

Yes, I used 2% Sodium Lactate.
