Response to Soap making questions.

I bought a few plastic molds at A.C.Moore (craft store) for $1.59 each. I also got 2 pieces of PVC that are 3 inches across and 1 foot long. Grease them good, put plastic on the bottom end secured with a rubber band, and pour in your soap. Wrap wih a towel for at least 24 hours. If the soap is fairly firm, you can push it right out. If not, give it another day. Sometimes it wants to stick, so I put it in the freezer for 20 minutes or so. Usually it will slide right out. I slice it into 3/4 inch thick rounds and let it cure. I really try not to get too fancy, since part of my handmade soaps appeal is it's low price compared to many others that I see. I still like bars the best.
