Recycled Soap #6

 


Another batch of recycled soap. I had several small hotel soaps. I chopped them up, added coloring and water, and reformed it into a large block of soap. 

The soap needs to have enough water to form into a block and stick together, but then afterward it needs to be dry to use without making a sticky mess. For this batch I used a mini crockpot to melt the soap, allowing me to add less water.

This time, I dried the soap by putting it in a large plastic bin with a dehumidifier. I couldn't find my hygrometer to measure the actual humidity, so I just went by the feel.
