I hope I haven't confused you! lol... I don't have room in the freezer for it either so I don't do it. I can't imagine people who make a huge amount for a living do it either :)Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612943149079904738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11267615.post-66772515856125680672008-12-29T18:44:00.000+09:002008-12-29T18:44:00.000+09:00:) Having a virtual conversation here! I think all...:) Having a virtual conversation here! I think allowing your soaps to gel is a good thing especially if you are new at CP. You know its going through the saponifcation process. Ungelled soap still saponifies but it takes a few days instead of 12 - 24 hours, and is usually only done for aesthetic purposes or if you use colourants like alkanet powder. <BR/><BR/>Your soaps look so good for only 6 batches!! The swirl one is pretty too!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612943149079904738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11267615.post-65005484087567759742008-12-29T18:30:00.000+09:002008-12-29T18:30:00.000+09:00hi Justine!I made it in a mould measuring 13 cm lo...hi Justine!<BR/>I made it in a mould measuring 13 cm long x 6 cm wide by about 7 -8 cm high. The soaps pictured are about 7.5 mm thick. I wanted nice thin small soaps to give away :) I am almost certain that soap went through gel phase, well and truly! All my soaps do so far (all 6 batches of them!!)<BR/>I don't have room in my fridge or freezer to prevent my soaps from gelling ;)Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541426939521836103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11267615.post-51819148032750590542008-12-29T18:25:00.000+09:002008-12-29T18:25:00.000+09:00Interesting!

Allowing your soap to gel can cause a sort of translucency in your soaps, hence why you will read of people not letting their soaps gel (by putting in freezer etc) amongst other reasons. <BR/><BR/>How thick is it?Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612943149079904738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11267615.post-44701017454348086362008-12-29T18:15:00.000+09:002008-12-29T18:15:00.000+09:00Thanks for the tip Heather.

Press halfway down and focus (if it's a point and shoot) or adjust your focus, then simply swing over to where the soap is.
