Soapmaking

[Guest guest]

Thank you, what do you think about melt and pour????

 

Hi Lori,

CP is cold process soapmaking, it takes longer for the soap to trace (thicken)

and to cure, usually up to six weeks, I am by no means an expert on cold

process. HP is hot process soapmaking, usually done in a crockpot where the

oils are heated so that the lye reacts faster and traces almost immediately, I

prefer HP for time contraints but it can be challenging to make a prettier bar.

Also, it takes considerable practice to get a milk soap to stay white. I am

trying to decide which method I want to invest in, as most of my equipment got

misplaced..... during the separation from my husband a couple of years ago, and

I want to begin selling online. I don't want my soap to melt if I ship during

hot weather. especially here in texas.
