9 Steps to Soapmaking Success
prepackaged colors you?ve bought. Powdered colors aren?t highly recommended for glycerin soap, as they?re more difficult to mix. Cosmetic grade liquid colors can be used.
Step 4:
Once the color is melted it?s time to add the fragrance. Use 1 teaspoon and let your nose be your guide. Underscenting will cause your soap to be less aromatic after a few months. Adding a little more scent is okay.
Step 5:
Pour your soap into the mold. For this recipe you need a 4.5-cup capacity mold. A rectangular shape is preferred.
Step 6:
You can let your soap harden at room temperature, or you can put it into the freezer for about 30-60 minutes. Freezing the soap speeds up the process and allows the soap to pop out of the mold easier.
Step 7:
It?s time to see your first successful chunk of handmade Melt and Pour glycerin soap. You can tell it?s ready when: the mold is cool and it easily pulls away from the soap. Release it onto a wax paper-covered surface. Cover it with more wax paper and a paper towel. You should allow it to return to room temperature before using it. It?s advised to let it sit for 24 hours for the fragrance oil to settle.
Step 8:
Cutting the soap can be done with a large knife. This recipe yields approximately 6 bars, depending on the thickness. Plane the rough edges and traces of white filmy popped bubbles with a paring knife. These will be more noticeable on darker colored soap.
Step 9:
Wrap the pieces with a cling wrap. The generic cling wrap is better. Pricier cling wraps don?t allow the aroma to be smelled, as they?re too thick.Make a label for your soap if you?ll be giving it to someone for a special occasion like Christmas, birthdays, a wedding or anniversary, a promotion, etc. You should list the ingredients.
