Did you know you could make one bar of cold process soap at a time?
Let me explain. I want to make a stained glass soap using CP, not M&P, but I don't have many
highly colored bars to sacrifice to the cause. So I decided I would use my six-bar rectangle mold and
make six bars, each one being a different color. I had some preblended oils and my lye was masterbatched, so it was SO easy to measure out the oils and lye water for one bar, add the color and fragrance to the oils,
get my mini-whisk (hand whisk, not battery powered) and mix it up a bit, and pour a perfect 4 oz bar of soap.
Repeat 5 times. Cleanup was easy because I used the same tools for each batch, no washing required.
Tomorrow I will chop up my six bars of colored soap and whip up a batch of soap and mix everything together
and put it in a loaf mold. Hopefully I will be able to slice it Saturday.
