S U C C E S S

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

My second batch of soap is a complete success.

The new mold worked wonderfully with only a minor hitch that I had anticipated.  I did not have heavy duty wax paper to line the mold so I used a plastic trash bag like the first batch.  I had to cut extra pieces to miter the corners and some of the soap batch seeped through but just a tiny bit.

The built in cutter helped me cut as close to precise uniformed bars.  I now have 26 Victorian Rose scented soaps with oatmeal added as an exfoliating agent.  They will be ready three weeks from today.  I will make my next batch on Friday night.

Soapmaker's Notes
Mold left covered with one blanket and two towels for 48 hours
Extra day yielded a firmer soap log
No heat after 48 hours
Oatmeal turned the soap a soft cream
