But, I have bee making soap for a long time and I would like to make a few suggestions: The perfect way to melt soap is to use a double boiler, but it's pricey. The cheapest way is to use an old metal bowl, and put it into a larger pan partially filled with water and warm the soap until it melts completely. Then add and melt the colorant and add the fragrance.GrandmaLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850526762646695246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-22496951126525905142015-12-09T19:44:16.598-08:002015-12-09T19:44:16.598-08:00I agree with some on here who said they would like...I agree with some on here who said they would like to see step by step video on making soap.....think you can do one for us.....I love these videos....KENTUCKY LADY 717https://www.blogger.com/profile/12348325168151232078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-73651197816194488782011-12-09T14:27:25.525-08:002011-12-09T14:27:25.525-08:00Just our of curiousty- can you use cookie cutters ...Just our of curiousty- can you use cookie cutters instead of soap molds?<br />Thanks!Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-1042371386936772011-12-02T08:12:33.227-08:002011-12-02T08:12:33.227-08:00Glycerin alone will not make the "crunchy&quo...Glycerin alone will not make the "crunchy" soaps, but you can add stuff like oatmeal and dried herbs to it for that "crunchy" feel.CeltChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778598832322453538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-10128182525870989622010-02-11T05:04:47.893-08:002010-02-11T05:04:47.893-08:00hey what a neat idea!

When bubbles form, spritz them, and the alcohol should cause them to dissolve.<br /><br />You can find more tips and tricks at the Soap Queen blog, here on Blogger.

Instead of using an open fire (pioneer-style) we use crockpots to heat our fats, and then combine it with the caustic soda (i.e. sodium hydroxide) and water.
